    Taking Up Our Cross

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 14, 2024
     | 654 views

    The sixth church that Jesus addressed received no words of rebuke or chastisement. It was faithful to the Gospel, open to opportunities, and will be delivered from its enemies at the coming hour of trial upon the world. Take up your cross and do the same.

     | 229 views

    We don’t have to suffer for our faith. But we do have to live for it. And if we never grate against a sinful world, how true to Christ are we being?

    Peter is one of my favorite Bible characters. He’s the one who always opens his mouth before his brain has switched into gear and that’s a failing I have a lot of sympathy with. Remember when the disciples were alone on the boat out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee and they saw Jesus walking ...read more

Today, we are going to talk about bringing it all together and turning our fears into joy. If we think about it, if we go through ...read more
