The Unsaved Christian: Reaching Cultural Christianity with the Gospel
Introduction to Lima First Assembly of God
Welcome to Lima First Assembly of God, a place where we strive to help individuals overcome cultural Christianity and develop a genuine personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We understand the challenges of navigating a world where societal norms often define one's faith rather than individual conviction. At Lima First, we are committed to reaching the unsaved Christians in our community and offering them the transformative power of the Gospel.
Understanding Cultural Christianity
In today's society, it is common to come across individuals who identify as Christians but do not have a deep understanding of what it truly means to follow Christ. Cultural Christianity refers to those who may be involved in religious activities, attend church services, and even claim to be Christian, but have not experienced a genuine, life-changing encounter with Jesus. These individuals often rely on cultural norms and traditions rather than developing a personal relationship with Christ.
As a result, the true essence of Christianity may be diluted, and many are left feeling unfulfilled or misguided in their faith. Lima First Assembly of God recognizes the importance of reaching out to these unsaved Christians and showing them the path to a meaningful relationship with Jesus.
Overcoming Cultural Christianity
At Lima First, we believe that overcoming cultural Christianity starts with education and empowering individuals to seek a personal encounter with God. Through our discipleship programs, we provide resources, guidance, and support to those who are seeking genuine faith and a deeper understanding of the Gospel.
Discipleship Weekly
One of our initiatives that aims to address the issue of cultural Christianity is our Discipleship Weekly program. This program offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip individuals with the necessary tools to grow spiritually and develop an authentic relationship with Jesus.
Each week, we focus on various topics, including biblical studies, prayer, worship, and practical application of Christian principles in everyday life. Through engaging lessons, group discussions, and personal mentorship, participants gain a solid foundation in their faith and learn how to impact the world around them.
Reaching the Unsaved Christians
Reaching the unsaved Christians in our community is our mission, and we encourage everyone to join us in this endeavor. Here are some practical steps we take at Lima First Assembly of God to connect with those who may be struggling with cultural Christianity:
1. Authentic Community
We strive to create an atmosphere of genuine community within our church, where people can come as they are and experience acceptance and love. By fostering relationships built on trust and transparency, we create an environment that encourages personal growth and spiritual transformation.
2. Relevant Teaching
Our pastors and teachers are dedicated to delivering relevant, biblically sound teachings that address the challenges faced by unsaved Christians in our modern society. We tackle topics such as identity, purpose, and the power of the Holy Spirit, helping individuals understand the relevance of the Gospel in their lives.
3. Discipleship and Mentoring
Discipleship is a core aspect of our ministry at Lima First. Through one-on-one mentoring relationships and small group discipleship programs, we provide guidance and support to individuals seeking to deepen their faith and break free from cultural Christianity. Our mentors offer personalized guidance, prayer, and accountability as individuals walk their journey of faith.
