    Living for ourselves does not lead to a life of fullness, living a life of love, which is focused on others, with our head up and our eyes forward, is God’s road to fullness.

    Levi or Matthew was call to Leave all, rise up, and follow Christ. As we look at the Bible this morning, we will look not at the costs of following Christ but rather of the benefits of following Christ!

    Jesus will teach us tonight that as his disciples we still must follow the rules, so tonight we want to see how we measure up to God’s standards or rules.

    This sermon looks at both what it means, and also what it does not mean, for us to take up our cross for Jesus.

    Jesus said to his disciples and to the crowd following him, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (8:34). It’s hard for us to hear those words in the same way that those following Jesus heard it. The context is that Peter has just recognised that ...read more
