Listen "The Church God Wants - A Church that Takes Up its Crosses - September 3, 2023"
Episode Synopsis
Matthew 16:21-26
The third in a series of sermons in which we are asking "What kind of church does God want?" instead of "What kind of church do I want?"
Our instincts tell us that being members of God's church, connected to his glory and power should be an experience of outward glory and success as well, so what happens when we face hardship? The temptation is to avoid conflict, embarrassment, or suffering, however Jesus tells us that the church he wants is one that is willing to take up its crosses and follow him. It's well worth it. By God's grace, the outcome is glorious!
