Woodbury Church of Christ Sermons

Sometimes we want Christianity to be simple, easy-to-follow, turn by turn directions. However, Discipleship is often directional. We navigate toward Christ-likeness through the particulars of our own lives. Learning how to plot our course toward Jesus. 

We probably don't often ask - "Why do the right thing?" But when we don't often have a good answer past, "...because it's right." The New Testament almost always talks about something different and it's often the difference between making it and messing up.
