    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?

    No Resolutions Just Commitments

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 7, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,964 views

    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

    Contributed by Ray Ellis on Jun 8, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,078 views

    Becoming a Christ follower is conditional. We have the choice to say, “Yes” or “No” to becoming a disciple of Jesus. Jesus said, “If anyone will come after me…” Jesus gives the invitation and then leaves the choice up to us.

    The Three “Cs” of Discipleship Luke 9:23-26 During my twelve years of ministry here the mission of the Willow Vale Church has been: “Bringing people to Jesus, loving, equipping and sending them out to make more and better disciples.” Jesus gave us the mission and purpose of the church ...read more
