Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

There are lots of things in our lives that are competing with God's mission. Making money, appearing successful in the world's eyes, having everything you want, staying healthy, having your kids turn out perfectly. Many of these things are great, but do they ever compete with what God's mission of resolutely walking with him no matter the cost?
Last week we learned that if you are a follower of Jesus then you are called by him. But so many of us never actually live out our calling. Just like Jesus resolutely walked towards Jerusalem even though he knew what lay ahead there, so we ought to ignore some of our own comforts and distractions when it comes to following Jesus.
 
En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks
