Take up YOUR Cross and Follow
Him…
Matt. 16.24
INTRO: Just what does He have for you and I to do?
Can we coast and do just what we have been doing for years? Is that really
enough? Is satisfying your pastor enough? Who do we need to satisfy? Who
do we need to please? Who do we need to follow?
Who does He expect to pick up their
cross and follow Him?
-
Compliantly - Do
we really want to follow Him??????
-
If a man…
-
We must want to follow
-
Completely - Are
we half hearted or only showy when we serve the Lord?
-
What do we have that we need to sell?
-
What do we put between God and ourselves
-
Correctly -
Do we seek His service in our lives?
-
Do we lack anything in our service to
the Lord?
-
Do we seek the Lord for guidance that
we might walk well?
-
Closely -
Are we satisfied with what we have?
I want to do more…DON'T YOU?
-
Can we hear His voice?
Are we familiar? Seeking? Listening?
Yearning?
-
Do we follow His voice?
Obedient? Pleasing? Begging (to
Serve)?, etc.
Who does He expect to pick up their
cross and follow Him?
