Doing Hard Things | February 16, 2025 | Pastor Jon Zondervan

This week we start a new series called "Doing Hard Things". In this first message Pastor Jon begins by laying the ground work, exploring the profound call to follow Jesus beyond mere cultural Christianity. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3 and Luke 9, the message challenges us to embrace the true essence of discipleship, which involves denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and making Jesus the Lord of our entire lives. The message emphasizes that while following Christ may not make life easier, it brings unparalleled fulfillment, joy, and purpose. As we navigate the challenges of living counter-culturally, we are reminded that salvation is a free gift, but true discipleship requires a daily commitment to surrender and transformation. Join us as we delve into what it truly means to be a follower of Jesus and how we can live out our faith with authenticity and courage.
