Dallas Willard- Living the Eternal Life Now 9 -How Eternal Livers Bring Knowledge of Eternal Living

About this sermon

In the final session of this conference, Dr. Dallas Willard shows us how we can share eternal living, that good life that’s available now, with those around us. He starts with a critical definition of what a “witness” is and defines knowledge. He shows us how knowledge is not a rare thing but is actually a simple framework of living, then teaches us the rights and responsibilities that come with knowledge. Through the entire session he unpacks this key concept: “You cannot do Christian discipleship on the basis of will, feelings and traditions. You must do Christian discipleship on the basis of knowledge.” Dallas then challenges us to consider: 1) When we come together as Christians to bear witness in our community, are we working from knowledge, belief, commitment or profession? And 2) If we’re not telling (and showing) others what we know, what are we doing? If you struggle with why so many Christians haven’t discovered the good life, why your church maybe isn’t growing (in quality or quantity) or if you’re tired of trying to motivate those around you to change - in any aspect of life - you won’t want to miss this insightful teaching.
