Lessons in Letting Go

Sundays sermon traced out the common thread in the episodes of Acts 16: the cost of the call to follow Jesus. The book of Acts is kind of like a docuseries on the continued life of Christ in the life of the Church, His body. Jesus continues pouring His life out for the life of the world through His people as we surrender our lives to God’s saving purposes for our children, our neighbors, our communities, and our world. But, just like Jesus, what we give away in service and submission to God, He returns, pressed down, shaken together, running over.
