“Following daily” was not just a recommendation from Jesus when it comes to following him, it’s a necessity! Think of anything you rely on daily, maybe it’s coffee, maybe it’s sleep. Imagine only having that coffee or sleep once a week… It just doesn’t work does it? We need to daily seek Him and converse with Him.

Welcoming Change

It may be comfortable to resist "change" in our lives, but we're called to embrace it! 2 Corinthians 5:15 - "and he [Jesus] died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised." Become a disciple, live for Christ, and choose to follow Him daily!
Deny Yourself
September 24, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • 1 Peter 1:18–19, 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, Luke 9:23, Ecclesiastes 2:1–11, Romans 6:6
Disciples deny themselves; but denying yourself doesn't mean what we traditionally think of in this context. When Jesus says in Luke 9:23: "“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.", He is referring to giving God full control of our lives. As Pastor Mike put it "Self-denial is a marvelously gracious invitation". Choose to deny yourself and let God show you the plans He has for you!
