Take Up Your Cross - Michael Coltman

This week Mike Coltman spoke on the subject ‘Take up your Cross’, based on Jesus’ words to his disciples found in Matthew 10. We live in a world where we are encouraged to do whatever makes us happy in life, that we should be concerned about ourselves, our own lives, our own interests, our own identities, our own families, our own peace and security, and of course our own possessions. Jesus however, tells us that we should choose as his followers to pick up a device of torture and follow him? This is both a challenging and difficult passage to read, I’m looking forward to getting into it this week.
