What does it truly mean to be a Christian?
In “What It Means to Be Christian,” Part 1 of Pastor Dan Harrison’s new sermon series, State of the Church: A Romans Series, we return to the foundation of the Christian faith and examine whether our understanding of Christianity has been shaped by God’s Word or simply by what we have always known.
Drawing from Romans 12:1–2 and Colossians 3:1–4, Pastor Dan explains that following Jesus is more than praying a prayer, attending church, or receiving a ticket to heaven. Christianity is a life fully surrendered to God—a living sacrifice placed into His hands.
Romans 12 calls believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, refuse conformity to the patterns of this world, experience transformation through the renewing of the mind, and grow in their ability to discern the will of God. Colossians 3 reminds us that our old lives have died and that our new lives are now hidden with Christ in God.
This message challenges every believer to consider:
Are you being formed by the world or shaped by the Word?
Is Jesus simply part of your life, or has He truly become your life?
Have you surrendered everything to Christ, or are you still trying to take certain areas of your life back off the altar?
The Christian life is not a one-time emotional experience. It is a daily process of looking to Jesus, renewing our minds, releasing our old identity, and becoming more like Christ. God’s conviction is not condemnation. He loves us enough to reveal the areas where He desires to bring greater freedom, maturity, and transformation.
As you listen, lean in to what Pastor Dan has to share. Ask God to speak directly to your heart through today’s message and reveal anything that may not align with His Word. Invite the Holy Spirit to renew your mind, reshape your priorities, and continue His transforming work within you.
Today’s takeaway: Identify one area of your life that you have been holding back from God. Place it before Him in prayer and sincerely say, “Jesus, this belongs to You. Shape me through Your Word and make me more like You.”
