Episode Synopsis

Send us a textConnect Church explores the critical distinction between following Christ and following church traditions, religious preferences, or popular pastors. We examine how easy it is to become attached to worship styles, Bible translations, or church culture rather than pursuing Jesus Himself.• Christians often struggle to leave churches that have drifted from biblical teaching due to comfort and familiarity• The early disciples abandoned everything to follow Jesus, while modern believers often resist minor changes• Churches risk having their "lampstand removed" when they stop centering on Christ's teachings• People frequently follow personal preferences rather than biblical truth, staying in churches that have strayed doctrinally• The wide road of merely believing in Christ versus the narrow road of actually walking with Christ daily• Technology and modern life make it easier to drift into worldliness while maintaining religious appearanceJoin us at Connect Church in Rockdale, Texas at the American Legion on Highway 487. Prayer begins at 10am followed by fellowship, with worship at 10:30am. Children's programs available. Visit our website for more information.
