Reidhead Sermon Report

Sermon Overview

This sermon confronts the attitude that asks, "What is the least I can do and still be saved?" Reidhead labels this "Minimum Christianity" and identifies it as a fruit of humanism. He calls for a radical shift toward "Maximum Christianity," which seeks to give God the greatest possible glory through total abandonment and the pursuit of the "fullness of the blessing of the Gospel."

Key Principles

Lordship vs. Insurance: Renounce "fire insurance" religion; accept Christ as absolute Lord or not at all.

Maximum Pursuit: Aim for the "fullness of the blessing" rather than seeing how little you can do and stay "safe."

The Pearl: Be willing to "sell all"—your reputation, rights, and goals—to possess the Kingdom.

Normal Experience:Treat spiritual maturity and the "Fullness of the Spirit" as the normal standard for every Christian.

Relational Maximums:Move past the "legal minimums" of religion into the "relational maximums" of intimacy with Christ.

Total Consecration: Call your local church back to "total consecration" as the only valid response to the Cross.
