The Struggle: Choosing Comfort Over Conviction Have you ever felt like you’re choosing social comfort over biblical conviction? We’ve all been there—justifying why we chose Netflix over our devotions or prioritizing a busy work schedule over Sunday worship. It’s easy to settle for a "contribution" to the Kingdom when Jesus is actually asking for a total, "all-in" commitment. The truth is, our hearts naturally gravitate toward compromise, leaving us living in a state of spiritual mediocrity that we try to cover up with alibis and excuses.
The Solution: The Seat of Your Soul In this powerful message, Pastor Scott Thomas breaks down the "Three Chairs" that represent the state of our relationship with Jesus. Using the challenging words of Matthew 16:24–25, we discover that following Christ isn't about polishing a halo; it's about the uncomfortable but necessary act of denying ourselves and picking up a cross. By identifying which "chair" our marriage, finances, and thoughts are currently sitting in, we can move from being a fan in the stands to a player on the team.
This week, perform a "Chair Audit" of your life. Pick one specific area—your finances, your morning routine, or a difficult relationship—and identify if it is sitting in the chair of compromise or commitment. Take one tangible action to "move the chair" toward God by choosing biblical conviction over social comfort.
