Struggling with something that has quietly taken God's place in your life? In this sermon from Joshua 24, Pastor Phil explains what an idol really is, why we can't serve God in our own strength, and how God's grace makes the choice to follow Him possible.

"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." — Joshua 24:15

In this message:

- What an idol is, and why idols are usually good things that become "God things"

- The idol of comfort, and a true story of what happened when God interrupted a day off

- "Yes you can, no you can't": why no one can serve God on their own (Ephesians 2:1–9)

- When you keep falling down: dependence on God's grace, Spirit, Word and people

- Joshua's call to heads of households to lead their families to serve the Lord

Part of our sermon series "A Crisis of Faith" from First Baptist Church of Elkhart, IN.

Nervous to share your faith, or not sure what it means to take up your cross daily? In this message from Luke 9:23–24, guest evangelist Kyle explains why following Jesus calls every believer into "daily discomfort" for the sake of the gospel.

"If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me." (Luke 9:23)

In this message:

- Why most Christians rarely share the gospel, and how we got here

- Deny yourself: holding your plans and comforts loosely

- Take up your cross daily, on a Thursday afternoon, not just Sunday morning

- Follow Him: stop hitting snooze on the Holy Spirit's voice

- The 1-, 30-, and 60-day challenge to share the gospel through the end of the year
