    You were made with a life purpose. The prophet Jeremiah put it this way, “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” You were born with a purpose and plan in mind

    The Call to Follow Mark 8:31-35 USA Today did a survey asking people, “If you could ask God any question, what would it be?” The number one response was “What is my life’s purpose?'” All of us in the church were blown away by Rick Warren’s book, “A Purpose ...read more

    Are you a fan or a follower? A fan is just someone who cheers from the sidelines, but a follower, a follower is someone who imitates that person. Are you a fan or a follower of Christ? Remember that John tells us to be imitators of Christ, and to walk as Christ walked. For the longest time I ...read more

    Epiphany 3.. Jesus call to us creates the faith to follow Him. Following Jesus is our faith in action. As followers we are not in charge, and cannot see the future. We follow Christ because we trust Him with our lives now and in His kingdom forever.

    Following his discourse on the obedience of Christ, and an admonition for the believer to possess the mind of Christ, Paul discusses what that looks like in a mature believer. This is humbling, and impossible within ourselves, but possible in Christ.

    Motivated to Follow Philippians 2: 12-18 One of the greatest means of motivation is a great illustration or example. Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more

    Each of us has been called to follow Christ, but we need to consider what that means and what it will cost us.

    Luke 5:27-31 Follow Me FBC Whitewright February 3, 2013 Do you ever ask yourself what it is that God wants from you? Maybe what Jesus wants you to do? I have for years -- for too long my relationship to Christ was identified by my work for Him. But now there has been no work as I have not ...read more

    As kids we sang: "I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back!" But is that the reality of our adult lives? Are we willing to deny and sacrifice ourselves and all we have for Christ's sake?

    [Sermon preached on 3 June 2018, 2nd Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] When I was a kid—I think I was eight years old at the time—I attended a Summer Bible Camp. I will never forget it, for many reasons. In particular, I remember how at the end of the day’s program, we always ...read more
