Our Difficult Task in Discipleship

Even though people may not believe the Gospel we carry, and even when we are resisted to the point of persecution, we have a God-given responsibility to represent Christ no matter the consequences. This duty of ours to God does not come conflict-free.

      From part 1 of this sermon…

1. Jesus is offensive. (Mark 6:2-3)
