Who is Jesus to you? Like many of the people in the Bible, we have expectations of who the Messiah is and how he should act. But we cannot customize Jesus to our liking and we don't get to define what it means to follow him. He gives us clear instructions in Matthew 16:24, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me". We need to let go of the Jesus we created to suit our desires, be willing to endure things we may not want to, and follow him. This journey will not be easy, but we need to keep in mind that Jesus isn't after fans, he's after our hearts. ___________________________To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Just like Thomas in John 20, our doubt can show how close we are to God; but the voice of doubt is not something to be ashamed of. You won't be belittled or judged. Let our doubts be challenged and transformed by God's truth and faithfulness.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show
