Message by special guest: Dr. Paul Akin
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
Matthew 10:34-39
What does it really mean to follow Jesus?
Two Truths:
1) Following Jesus Requires Absolute Allegiance (10:34-37)
2) Following Jesus Requires Dying to Yourself (10:38-39)
