As we continue to look at divisions between those who believe in God and those who do not, and the divisions between Christian churches, we find that when we bear the cross, as Jesus says in Luke, it means that we will end up in opposition to some of the people closest to us: parents, siblings, spouses, children, ourselves.  As we count the cost of standing firm on God's Word, it means we might lose all of those people we hold dear.  Is it worth it?  Sometimes it doesn't seem like it.  But we must remember that Jesus counted the cost and still went to the cross for us. 

Message 09/07/2025 - Count the Cost & Carry Your Cross - Text: Luke 14:25-35

As we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples who then spoke in other languages the Good News of Jesus, we remember that we are here because of the Holy Spirit at work in our own life and because of that first Pentecost.
