Lenten Journey Toward Easter: Pr. Heather Apel

Jesus calls anyone who wants to be his follower, to deny themselves, take up their cross and follow Him (Mark 8:34). This is true not just during the 40 days of Lent, but 365 days of the year. In spite of our best efforts, in spite of our regular attendance at worship and Bible study, in spite of our daily time of devotions and Scripture – we will have times when we do not succeed to live as a disciple of Jesus. There will be times when we set our mind on human things, rather than focusing on the divine.
