Tagging Along Or Truly Following Jesus

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2008

Jesus called disciples to follow him. What did he really mean by "follow me"? Luke 9 gives us some insight.

Martin Luther once said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.” (from Philip Gunther’s intro.) What does Jesus mean when he says, “Follow me”? We need to ask ourselves, am I just tagging along or truly following Jesus? When Jesus says to us, ...read more

Margins Series

Contributed by David Flowers on Dec 23, 2008

Part 4 in series Slowing Down. Many people who genuinely desire to follow Jesus have not created enough margin in their lives to do so. What are margins, and how do we create them in our lives?

Margins Slowing Down, part 4 Wildwind Community Church David Flowers November 1, 2008 When you read a book or write a paper, what are the margins?

Costs Of The Journey Series

Contributed by E Philip Davis on Mar 6, 2008

Jesus makes it clear in Luke 9:23 that the path of discipleship is a costly one; what challenges do we face in "bearing our cross daily" in today’s culture?

COSTS OF THE JOURNEY In this series from Luke we are seeing how following Jesus – what we call discipleship – is like a journey with him. This is what the disciples did in Luke’s Gospel, where Chapters 9-19 are in the form of a journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. In the first week Wayne introduced ...read more

Freedom Through Self-Denial

Contributed by Norayr Hajian on Apr 1, 2008

On the one hand, Jesus says "deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me." On the other hand Jesus says "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." The message explains how is self-denial is a life "to the fullest".

Today we’re going to look at a topic that is very personal. The scripture is from Luke 9:23 “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Just hearing these words is difficult. Putting them into practice seems utterly hopeless, unrealistic. We ...read more

Contributed by Bill Butsko on Oct 2, 2008

A true follower of Jesus will have no trouble taking up the Cross.

Text: Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Luke 9:23).

The Walk!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Oct 3, 2008

I believe that God calls all of His people to walk with Him. In this outline we lay out seven kinds of personal walk we have with Christ. If our desire is to be more like Him then we must walk and learn of Him daily. Not just in the Sunday morning service

The Walk (Luke 9:23 KJV) And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (Luke 9:62 KJV) And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. I believe that ...read more

A True Disciple Luke 9:23 * Were I to ask this group of people, “Who wants to be a disciple of Christ?” Most everyone would raise their hands and honestly, would do so without giving any thought to what being a disciple really means.

No Resolutions Just Commitments

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 7, 2009

Jesus calls us to make cross-carrying commitments. These are not resolutions that can be broken and forgotten in a matter of days. When a person picks up a cross, it’s a one-way trip. No one expects to come back.

I HATE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS For nearly a decade, I said, “Next January, I will start eating right and exercising.” You can tell what happened with my resolutions. NOTHING. I did not start eating healthy foods. I did not start exercising, but that all changed last January 14th. I had a ...read more
