SERMON SERIES: INTIMACY WITH GOD
SERMON TITLE: THE FOUNDATION OF INTIMACY WITH GOD
SERMON TEXT: 1 JOHN 1:1-4
SERMON INTRODUCTION
A. We live in a culture that wants to have intimacy with God, but on its terms not God's.
B. As a result, we live in a culture of religious tolerance and experimentation--attempting to experience God based upon reason,conscience, feelings, ect.
C. Our spiritual walk is based on a personal intimate fellowship with God and it influences our prayer life, our worship, and our ethics
D. However, in order to have a personal intimate fellowship with God, Jesus Christ must be central in our lives or there will be no fellowship with God at all.
SERMON LESSON
A. PROPOSITION: A PROPER UNDERSTANDING OF CHRIST IS THE FOUNDATION OF FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.
B. INTERROGATIVE: What makes Jesus Christ the foundation of intimate fellowship with God?
