Being Ruled By Jesus

We live in a day and age that constantly bombards us with self-help motivational quotes, steps to reaching your destiny, or some magic recipe to improve yourself. As we work to be a people that Jesus desires in our city, we are trying to remain faithful to the Scriptures.  Jesus says anyone that wants to follow him must first deny themselves, pick up their cross and then follow up. This is the only method proven to produce a people filled with God and therefore find their destiny in Him.  There are no other means that God has ordained to get the people he desires. A people who embrace the cross. A people of character, integrity, and supernatural power. We learn to let Jesus take his rightful place as Lord and King of our lives by denying ourselves and carrying our cross.
