What's In Your Ingredient List?

A woman purchased a bottle of blueberry pomegranate juice which was reported to offer health benefits and great taste.  She looked through the variety of juices, saw the picture on the bottle of the blueberry and pomegranate and the label which said "all natural 100% juice.  Arriving home, she took a longer look at the ingredient list.  The ingredients included a variety of different juices, sugar and additives.  The blueberry and pomegranate amounts turned out to be very small.  She felt deceived.

What if we as Christians had an ingredient list?  What if we portrayed a picture of being 100% Jesus filled to the world?  If they searched our characteristics, would they find "fillers" of other things?  Would Jesus be at the top of the ingredient list, or would He be just added in? 

Are we "Jesus Flavored or Jesus Filled"?  Do we put Him first and purpose to show Him to the world around us?  When we are 'bumped", what comes out of us? 

We will never attain perfection in this world, but should strive to grow spiritually and grow more in holiness and less in the nature of the world.  Sunday's sermons have been on Spiritual Maturity and how to grow in the Lord.  Subjects such as Faith and Hope have been shared.  This week's topic will be Love - Agape Love - love like Jesus.  We could all use a dose of that in our lives!  Hope you'll purpose to come , hear and grow this Sunday!
