    Why So Many Walk Away From Jesus Slowly

    This week, Pastor Jeff and George break down Acts 26 — Paul before Agrippa — and explore why conviction matters now more than ever.They discuss why Agrippa was “almost persuaded,” how modern Christians straddle the fence, why comfort has weakened conviction in America, and how the enemy slowly steals spiritual ground through culture, pleasure, and divided devotion.Topics include: • Why “almost faith” is spiritually dangerous • The Parable of the Sower and modern distractions • Why apologetics is more than intellectual arguments • How sex, power, and success choke out conviction • The spiritual battle over your habits and priorities • Why the early church embraced a costly faith • The slow drift that pulls people out of church • Why the devil loves neutral Christians • What it looks like to follow Jesus when it hurtsThis is a powerful call back to biblical conviction, wholehearted discipleship, and the kind of faith Paul lived with in Acts.Watch the latest sermons: https://www.myrhythmchurch.com/rhythm-sermonsNew to Rhythm?
