A recliner is a great parallel for our Spiritual lives. It's comfortable, easy, and so addictive. We can get lazy…that's why it's called a Lay-Z-Boy! Just as we love the physical comfort of a chair, we also love spiritual comfort: the predictable rhythm, a sense of safety, and a place where nothing is demanded of us. This instinct for spiritual ease is dangerously misaligned with true discipleship.   Our core truth is blunt: “If you're comfortable following Jesus, you're doing it wrong. You should be uncomfortable.” The presence of sin within every person means that God is still at work in believers' lives, wanting to change them from the inside out. As long as a person is alive, God intends ongoing transformation, not static comfort. To simply settle into a “spiritual lazy boy” and resist change means we're doing it wrong.   Listen as we unpack this core truth to discover the great plans God has for us as we become more like Jesus.

We're back in Haggai, where God commands us to "consider our ways!"

"Why are Small Groups important?" We get this question often -- the answer, you need to know more about Christ, and you need to see Christ. When we gather with friends or family, it's a good thing -- but our purpose is different than gathering for a small group. Our central focus is on Jesus.  You can join a small group today! Go check out odessabible.org/smallgroups to get all the info. What do you do after that? Show up. It's simple!

Where are you in your Bible reading? Are you a beginner, intermediate, or advanced in your scripture reading?  Our Pastoral staff put together a plan to help you in your journey! Check out odessabible.org/biblereadingplan to see where you can start this week!
