MORNING WORSHIP AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - JANUARY 14, 2024

This coming Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will continue with the message "The Cost of Following Jesus Christ", Part 2 of 2 sermons.  Last week, the focus was on "The Cost", the first aspect of our being a follower of Jesus Christ.  This week, the focus will be on the last two aspects, "The Consideration" and "The Conclusion".  We must continually remind ourselves that we are one year closer to the Rapture of the Church and to the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  It is a time for focusing on the level of commitment we have to our walk with Jesus, as we look ahead with a renewed focus on things above. 

Being a genuine Christian is not an easy road in the sense that we will suffer pain and persecution in this world, but, as believers, we have the blessed assurance that God will be with us through every circumstance here on earth and has prepared a place for us when He takes us home!!   Matthew 16:24-28 gives us some instructions that will help us understand that the Christian walk requires that we deny ourselves and take up the Cross of Jesus if we are to follow Him.  This means that we follow the Savior with the example He set for us - a life of serving others before ourselves...making sacrifices to accomplish the will of God, focusing on doing everything all for the glory of God.  

Do you desire a stronger, more focused relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?  Are you ready if the Lord should call you home today?  As a believer, would you be ready for the rapture should it happen today?  We invite you to join us this coming Sunday to hear Part 2 of this sermon series, "The Cost of Following Jesus Christ".  You can hear the message in person or online via Facebook at 10:30 a.m.  Everyone is welcome!
