Have you ever seen an old abandoned church building? Whenever I do, I wonder about all that took place within the walls. I think about the worship, teaching, and people's lives that were changed there. But then I wonder where they are now. Why is that church building abandoned? Where did all the people go? It was once alive and meant something, but now what? Don't let your religion be like an old abandoned church building. In his writings, Paul gives three statements declaring what powerful and meaningful religion looks like. This sermon applies those statements to our lives today.

When someone asks us how we are doing we typically respond, "I'm good." If someone asks us our opinion on another person we may describe them saying, "He's a good guy" or "She's good girl." We usually are speaking about ourselves and others in physical terms or we are saying that a person is a pretty good moral person. The Bible teaches us that outside of Christ none of us are good. We need to see ourselves and others the way God sees us. This lesson reminds us to look spiritually.
