WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO FOLLOW JESUS? 

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO FOLLOW JESUS? 
Matthew 4:18-22 tells us of four man who left everything, family, security, home, income, to follow Jesus. This is what Jesus asked of them. Jesus may ask this of you and more, but we have to be willing to deny self and take up our cross (Matthew 16:24) and follow Jesus, if we claim that name of Christian. We have to have and exhibit a servant spirit. Sometimes we have to ‘wash the feet’ of some undesirable characters in our service journey. Impossible? Not with God’s help. Walk in the light, Jesus is the light of the world. Pastor Laura Reed gave us a lesson in living the Christian life in our everyday world.

LENTEN BIBLE STUDY – Please let Pastor Laura know if you are interested in a Bible study during the

The Adult Sunday School Class meets at 9:15 each Sunday morning before worship service. The students
study the denominational study guide, The Encounter, with commentary based on the Narrative
Lectionary readings.  There is a Class Facilitator (not teacher) and the discussion is lively and up to date
with subjects covering widely diverse everyday concerns as well as historical settings for the covered
scripture. This quarter the study is of the gospel of Matthew, recounting Jesus life and work as the
writer recommended him to the Jews as their long awaited Messiah.
