A lot of life turns out to be harder than we think. But when we face these difficulties, how will we respond? Everyone who follows Jesus inevitably discovers something about following Him that is different and more difficult than expected. Will we turn away? It’s curious how we can learn the importance of resilience in other areas of life, yet struggle to apply it to our faith journey. Jesus is worth the effort. This week we’ll discover that even Jesus’ first disciples had to learn this lesson. What they discovered will help us, too.
We’ll be live on Facebook Sunday at 11:00, or you can watch any time on Facebook or YouTube.
Here is some information to help you participate if you’re joining us online:
- The response to our interactive opening prayer is, “The promise rests on grace.”
- The songs are “My Hope Is Built” and “Lord of the Dance.” Look up the words online, and you can sing along.
- The Bible readings are Mark 8:31-38.
- Share a prayer request in the comments. It can be praise for God doing something good in your life or a challenge where you hope to see God move in a particular way. Please let us know how God is moving in your life.
- Share an offering in our app in Givelify or send a check to the church.
We’re looking forward to worshipping with you. Have a blessed Lord’s Day, everyone!
