    Three men each making a statement regarding his commitment or lack of commitment to following Christ. Each wanted to follow Christ; none wanted to stop looking back. Their commitment can be described as limited, delayed, and insincere.

    Don’t Look Back Luke 9:57-62 Would you consider yourself a committed Christian? Realistically, are you a disciple of Christ or merely a follower of Christ? There is a difference. Three men each making a statement regarding his commitment or should I say lack of commitment to following ...read more

    Society is no different today than it was in the 50AD … they too need Jesus! The challenge for us to see today is will we be the ones who are faithful to share Him also? The early Church left us a great roadmap of obedience to follow, if only we will be so bold right now.

    Unity of Spirit is important. It is powerful enough to stop division, empower a church and hold believers on task. Taking our eyes off of Christ is a sure fire way to invite division, discord and eventually demise.

    As children of God, we are called to live out our faith continually, day by day, in a world that constantly pulls us in different directions and is always striving for our attention. At times we all live as if we have an unlimited time to accomplish our God given work.
