    Self-Deception is rooted in our thinking, and visible in our activities. Or, if we look at it in reverse – what we do, or how we act is in reality a product of our belief system – ie: what we believe. So, if our believing is wrong then our acting will b

    In order to follow Jesus, we must take the same road that He took. In Mark 8:27-38, we see who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him on the ``Road Less Traveled``. In this we see: 1) The Disciple's Confession (Mark 8:27-33) and 2) The Disciple's Lifestyle (Mark 8:34-38)

    Mark 8:27-33 [27] And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?" [28] And they told him, "John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets." [29] And he ...read more

    The sermon's main point is to highlight the dangers of excessive worrying and overthinking, and to emphasize the importance of trusting in God for peace and guidance.

    God wants us to experience His adventure, His miraculous provision and defense, His Word, His will, and, like Jesus, His choice of ending to the story. The story may not be like the storybooks, fairy tales, and superhero movies. It may end in martyrdom.
