What It Takes To Follow Jesus

I want to start with a couple of questions today. Let’s start here: Are you good at following instructions? If your boss comes up to you at the beginning of the day and gives you some things to do, will you hear it and then follow through?  How do you handle someone telling you what to do?  Maybe you can do it, but you need to know why you have to do it.  Maybe you will do it, . . .

“This, Then, Is How You Should Pray…”

Going All In, Does It Scare You?

Today I wrap up the talk on the Sermon on the Mount. Last week I was at MRC in Gettysburg and TJ spoke in Dillsburg. One of my favorite parts of what TJ said was the question he asked.
