Celebrating our 30th Anniversary...1989-2019
|

“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters–yes, even his own life–he cannot be my disciple.” Ouch! What is the cost of following Jesus? I think Jesus is saying it’s everything and he cautions us to consider the cost before signing on. We say we’d like the benefits and none of the suffering, but in Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book, The Cost of Discipleship, he says suffering means that we are cut off from God; therefore, those who live in communion with Christ cannot really suffer. Does this sound confusing? I’ll be looking at this on Sunday and offering clarification. If you have a few minutes read Jeremiah 18.1-11 and Psalm 139.1-5, 12-17 this week.
Amen.

A good many of you were busy, so we’re going to be looking at "Jael" this week! I know some of you didn’t want to miss this chapter, so this works well. In our book, she can be found in Chapter 14, page 67.
We will meet from 12:00-1:15 and then we have a time of healing prayer.
