    Jesus is making clear to us is that a commitment to follow Him is more than a desire or a profession of belief. It is a radical, life altering of commitment to follow or live like him

    Lose the Excuses Luke 9:57-62 Good morning, this is already the fourth Sunday in Lent, a time when Christians focus on discipleship, denial and self sacrifice. It is the hardest part of following Jesus. During the Lenten season, we deal with these habits and put them into practice as we journey to ...read more

     | 7,566 views

    Death, it’s not something we think about very often but it’s something that we spend the majority of our lives trying to deny and to postpone. But the reality is it’s always looming over us.

    Death and Life? Luke 9:51-52 What would you do if you only had one month to live? Would any of your priorities change? These are the questions that pastor Kerry and Chris Shook ask in their book, One Month to Live: 30 Days to a No-Regrets Life. The catalyst for the book was encountering people who ...read more

     | 3,705 views

    Lent is a time we confess we are broken. But Jesus can take what's broken and recycle us to have meaning and purpose for His kingdom

    Lent officially began with the observation of Ash Wednesday, a day for Christians to confess their sins and receive ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. Ashes were a reminder of death, so when people were in mourning or received tragic news, they would put ashes over themselves. ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,693 views

    Repentance is about surrender, about admitting our helplessness and turning to God for His Spirit to change us, and then cooperating with God in His work. Repentance is about death to sin, about death to self, about making a choice to turn away from sin

    Jesus went willingly to His death for our sakes, to fulfill the covenant obligation God freely took on with Abraham.

    We killed Him. O, I know the Roman procurator read the sentence, and Roman soldiers beat Jesus and crowned Him with thorns and hammered in the nails. They were what philosophers would call the “efficient cause” of Christ’s death. But Adam and Eve and David and Caligula and ...read more
