We looked at each of the four stages along this pathway to eternal life: follower, disciple, apostle, and martyr. This message briefly reviews each one and ends with the challenge Jesus gave all those who consider themselves born-again. The Apostle Paul gave those within the churches he planted very articulate and explicit examples of what Jesus' commands looked like in his life and should in ours.

The Fourth Stage is the Hardest!

Last week I discussed "followers" and "disciples". This week we examine the next stage apostles: those spelled with upper case A and those with lower case a. What's the difference?

There are four stages to complete surrender for those who are truly born-again in Christ.

This message covers the first two: Follower and Disciple

There is very little I can say or should to begin this message that is both exciting and terrifying. So let me simply say listen and rejoice or listen and tremble. The Good News is always a message of hope, and I pray you find it here today before I say the last Amen.

Re-establishing your priorities before another day passes in 2024.
