Mark 8:27-38 | Think about the things, people, and ideas that you “follow.” You might follow a sports team, an influencer on social media, or a news channel. So then, what does it mean when Jesus asks us to “follow him”? And even further, what does it mean that we are to deny ourselves and take up our cross as a part of what it means to “follow” Jesus? As we take in the many people and things we could choose to follow, join us for worship this weekend as we wrestle with Jesus’ call to his disciples – and to us – inviting us to the truth of God’s fullness of life.
