The Danger of Theoretical Christianity: It’s Time to Get in the Canoe | Ft. Dr. Mark Rutland

Is your faith practical—or just theoretical? In this bold and eye-opening message, Dr. Mark Rutland challenges believers to move beyond “the theory of Christianity” and step into Spirit-filled, transformed living. Preaching from Ephesians 4 and 5, Dr. Rutland explores what it truly means to be filled with the Holy Spirit —not just in worship or theology, but in how we treat one another in our homes, churches, and daily relationships.
Through humor, insight, and powerful biblical teaching, you’ll discover how to bridge the gap between spiritual talk and spiritual walk. Learn why gossip is more dangerous than you think, how submission is actually a gift, and what it looks like to live with love, kindness, and holiness in community. This isn’t just a message—it’s a spiritual gut- check for every believer.

If you’re tired of going through the motions, this message will stir your soul and call you to live a faith that’s real, raw, and rooted in love. Get ready to put your canoe in the water—it’s time to live what you believe.
