Take up your cross and follow me – Lent 2021
This Easter message sees Mark invite us to live, engaging in each moment of our lives, with the faith and trust of people marked by resurrection power.
On Palm Sunday, Mark explores the importance of building faith as a church so that we can release God’s purposes in the world.
As we find ourselves immersed in Jeremiah this Lent, Britt highlights the parallels of what it means to be the people of God in a time of exile, seeking the ancient paths to reform our lives.
As we journey through the disruptions of life, Ryan encourages us to wholeheartedly seek God’s direction and move to re-establish ourselves in Christ.
Britt explores the question of what it means to be marked by the cross. As we move deeper into Lent, we are begin to recognise the ways Jesus may be inviting us to not just grow in our knowledge of Him but our trust in Him.
In our time, with a world filled with the persuasive and disruptive noise of the world, Ryan unpacks how we need to operate like a people in exile, waiting on God and listening for his voice.
Mark challenges us to consider what we are actually invited to do when Jesus calls us to ‘take up our cross and follow him’. It is a life of surrender and obedient discipleship to Jesus, made possible in through the cross.
