Take Up Your Cross
The Gospel is not a Gospel of convenience or comfort. In fact, it's quite the opposite. In Matthew 16 and Luke 9, Jesus actually spelled out the cost...and it sounds a little different than the Gospel many people believe. It's a Good News with the promise of persecution, hardship, pain, and maybe even death. Are you ready to Take Up Your Cross?

The Buck Stops With Me
It's time to stop playing to victim! We have agency to pursue God by faith and believe for His promises in our lives. Often, however, we're behaving like the Israelites did when they got a bad report about the Promised Land: "But God, there's giants in the land!" It's time to combat the spirit of fear and believe God at His Word! Let's study together.

Deadly Gossip
Gossip is not cute. In fact, it's in the same list of sins as murder, sexual immorality and stealing! It's destructive and sly. We don't often recognize it and we rarely restrain it. It's allowed in cultural acceptance, but it's demolishing relationships and churches. We've got to get a reign on it! That's why we're studying it in today's Foundation Stones!
