South Florida Keswick 2011 | Night 2

The Gap Between Interest and Commitment

Are you a fan of Jesus or a true follower? In this challenging Night 2 message from the South Florida Keswick 2011 convention, Dr. Burchell Taylor explores the “gap” that prevents many good, respectable people from entering the Kingdom of God.

Drawing from the story of the Rich Young Ruler in Mark 10, Dr. Taylor identifies the subtle danger of having religious interest without embraced involvement. He breaks down why eternal life cannot be separated from the life of discipleship and why we must be prepared to learn our real needs directly from Christ. If you’ve ever felt “near but not there,” this sermon is an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with the truth. Discover how to stop play-acting and start living the “Jesus Way” through radical surrender and wholehearted commitment.

Focus Scripture: “Jesus looked at him and loved him. ‘One thing you lack,’ he said. ‘Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'” — Mark 10:21
