Sermon Notes
“Why Do People Have a Negative View of Christians?”
Matthew 6:1-18 Part 1 of Series: Sermons Out of the Box
June 14, 2009 by Rev. Robert Lee
The Reality: Christians have a reputation of being “hypocritical – saying one thing and doing another – and [outsiders to Christianity] are skeptical of our morally superior attitudes.”[1]
The Issues: Given this reality, what are the issues we need to confront?
1. We have an INTEGRITY issue: Our lives don’t match our beliefs. Matthew 15:8-9.
2. We have a PURITY issue: Young people in our churches are showing major cracks in their moral perspectives. 1 Peter 1:13-15.
3. We have a TRANSPARENCY issue: We deny the inconsistencies in our lives and we do not appear “real” and “authentic” to young people. Romans 12:3
