Being a Christian

from Encounter Church Henley

Encounter Henley Welcomes Lead Pastor: Tim Littleford In a world that promises a life that's constantly 'up and to the right,' what happens when everything falls apart? In this message, lead pastor Tim Littleford shares his personal experience of a year that didn't go to plan and challenges the popular belief that following Jesus should result in a life of ease and prosperity. Drawing from Matthew 16:24-26 and the incredible story of missionary Jackie Pullinger, Tim explores what it truly means to 'disown yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus.' He argues that it's in our willingness to give up our own wants, embrace our weaknesses, and surrender our lives that we become a signpost to the world that the gospel is true. This isn't about giving up on life; it's about finding the life we most deeply desire by laying it down for Jesus.
