Taking Up a Cross

This past Sunday at North Way Christian Community, Pastor Scott Stevens strongly encouraged our congregation to get out of our comfortable tents and pick up our cross for the sake of Jesus Christ. If you happened to miss his powerful message from the Word of God, you can check it out at www.northway.org. It was truly an exceptional message to our church about embracing the challenges of following Christ in our modern American culture. It was a great reminder to me that I need to continually walk away from the comforts of this life in exchange for the radical adventure that is involved in a relationship with Jesus. The relationship with God is costly, but it is life changing and meaningful in many ways. I'm focusing on my relationship with Jesus today!
