Remember The Cross

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Freedom

Weightless Faith

Contributed by Trae Durden on Dec 5, 2014

We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is light” (Mt. 11:30). And we choose to run with that “easy” life! We love to forget that He also said, ““If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mt. 16:24)

Weightless Faith Philippians 3:17-21 Is the Christian life only about avoiding wrong? Is an “Avoidance” lifestyle all that God expects of us or is there more? Like bringing Glory to God in faith by taking action! Serving others! We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is ...read more
