DENY SELF, TAKE UP YOUR CROSS, AND FOLLOW JESUS

<p dir="ltr">This word from Jesus gives us the foundation of what it takes to live one’s life for Jesus.  It is the other side of the coin of the Spirit filled life.  It is a life of sacrifice.  It is the key to the sanctified life which will take us deeper into a lifestyle that loves and obeys Jesus.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this consecration of our lives we learn to learn the voice of the Master and then to obey no matter the cost.  This lifestyle will take you on the greatest adventure you can ever imagine.  It will fill your life with love, joy, and how to endure the persecutions that come with following Jesus.</p> <p dir="ltr">This is the Sermon on the Mount lifestyle that can only be lived in the power of the Holy Spirit.  It deals with our new life in the Spirit and expresses our love for Jesus and our willingness to sacrifice for Him.</p> <p dir="ltr">We say no to the desires and habits of the old life and put on our new life in Christ.</p>
