JAKE STIMPSON | ISRAEL | PAUL | STEPHEN | PERSECUTION | DENY YOURSELF | TAKE UP YOUR CROSS
Follow along in this series as Jake shares some of the things that impacted him the most about his recent trip to Israel.
Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24) One of the most challenging and humbling aspects of Christianity is this demand to, on the one hand, be ready to face persecution with a smile and, on the other hand, to obey Jesus in all things. The early church understood this profoundly. What about us?
JAKE STIMSON | NEW CREATION | BORN AGAIN | GALATIANS 2:20 | 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 | KING DAVID
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17. We’re called to be new creations in Jesus, yet so many church-goers look the same as people who don’t go to church, or they reach a level of transformation and then basically plateau. What’s the deal? You’re called to be a new creation in Jesus, but you gotta fight to get there.
JAKE STIMSON | MARK 4 | JESUS CALMED THE STORM | LORD | KURIOS | MASTER | BOSS | EMPEROR NERO |
Jesus came to save you out of one kingdom and into another, out of slavery to sin and death and into service to the King of Kings. He’s the Savior, but He’s also the Lord. Have you surrendered to His Lordship, or are you hoping for His saving without surrendering to His expectations on your life?
