00 - Ski Lift Christianity is Deceiving Millions

What if the comfortable, “Jesus plus nothing” or “Jesus did it all” convenient faith millions of us know is actually a counterfeit? This message explores the shocking difference between "Ski Lift Christianity" and the authentic, difficult path Jesus actually walked and called us to follow in. For 20 years, I thought I was a faithful Christian, whom God was pleased with, only to realize I was just riding a comfortable "ski lift" to a spiritual plateau. I was enjoying the view without the climb, the reward without the struggle. This is the danger of the modern church—a "gondola gospel" that whisks us to the top with entertaining music, convenient childcare, and sermons that comfort but never challenge. But the Bible doesn't describe a ski lift. It describes an "Old Lost Trail"—a narrow, difficult, and unpopular path that requires us to take up our cross and ascend the mountain of true faith, until we reach the summit: fullness in Christ. This is an urgent call to examine your own journey (2 Corinthians 13:5). Are you truly following Christ, or just riding along? In this video, you will discover: 👉 The dangerous deception of "Ski Lift" or "Gondola" Christianity. 🏔️ Why the Bible is filled with mountains and what it means for your faith today. ✝️ The difference between "easy-believism" and a faith that truly saves. 📜 Powerful quotes from A.W. Tozer, Charles Spurgeon, and others on why true faith is never popular. 🤔 A challenge to get off the lift and begin the life-changing journey on the Old Lost Trail. This isn't just another sermon; it's a spiritual trail guide for those who are tired of fake, comfortable religion and are ready for an authentic encounter with Jesus Christ.
