Can I Do That and Still Follow Jesus?

What if we have been asking the wrong question all along? Instead of constantly asking 'Is this a sin?' we are challenged to ask something far more revealing: 'Is this helping me become who God created me to be?' This sermon digs into the tension every believer feels between enjoying life and living faithfully. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:23 and 31, we are reminded that while many things may be permissible, not everything is beneficial or constructive. The real measure is not how close we can get to the line without crossing it, but whether what we are doing glorifies God, builds us up, and keeps us free from being controlled by anything other than the Spirit. This reframing is not about adding more rules to our lives. It is about developing a heart that genuinely desires what God desires. When we begin to see our choices through that lens, the question of 'can I do this?' starts to answer itself.
