DO YOU HAVE THE JERSEY OR ARE YOU ON THE ROSTER?

In this sermon pastor Mark draws a sharp distinction between cultural familiarity with church and genuine, transformative salvation through Jesus Christ. Using the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3 as a foundation, the pastor challenges believers to examine whether they have truly been born again or whether they are simply performing religious activity. The sermon emphasizes that church attendance, titles, good deeds, and knowing Christian vocabulary do not constitute salvation. True kingdom citizenship requires repentance, water baptism, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in Acts 2:38. The pastor calls the congregation to move beyond being "kingdom tourists" and to become genuine kingdom citizens, fully submitted to Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring transformation wherever they go.
