Matthew 16: 21-28, Romans 12:9-21 | This weekend, as we begin a four-week mini-series on the “Marks of Discipleship,” we hear challenging words from Jesus about what it means for Christ to be our Messiah, and what it means for us to follow as disciples. Christ’s grace is offered to us as a free gift. But now, we have the opportunity to respond in faith by surrendering ourselves and our lives to God and to one another. In the midst of Labor Day festivities, join us for worship as we hear Christ’s invitation to follow, and as we receive God’s hand leading us forth into life.
