“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Mt. 16.24

Summary

What if the cross wasn’t just for Jesus? What if Jesus in his death was really showing us how to live?  Our history demonstrates that the challenges and opportunities we face as a people will only be overcome and achieved by great sacrifice.

“I resolved to know nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”  I Cor. 2.2
