Ever heard someone say about a challenge they're facing, "I guess it's my cross to bear"? Friends, Jesus didn't carry the cross to prove patient suffering is a virtue or to earn God's love. Jesus carried the cross because he IS God's love, calling us to live fully and love dangerously.

Pastor Ben Masters preached "When Love Carries a Cross" on September 1, 2019, at Hector Presbyterian Church.

Scripture readings: Deuteronomy 30:15-20 and Luke 14:25-35. Check out the Deuteronomy reading, since we couldn't include it in the audio file.
