Pick It Up: Following Jesus Beyond Sunday

Are you Afraid or Alert?

Was Jonah fearing the Lord when he was told to ARISE? Being obedient at times can be tough, can be uncomfortable, can be scary! We tend not to want to fail, we want results and good ones! When it comes to be obedient to the Lord what can go wrong? Just as we say in our intro living a life for Christ ultimately takes commitment, sacrifice, and staying obedient to His Word!  As always thank you for you words and support for another week of the Pick it Up Podcast!  Bro. Lane, Bro. Zach, Bro. Philip, Bro. Ryan, Bro. David

Do you have a Plan?

This morning we talk about the Plan! Ultimately God has your ultimate plan already drawn up. It is up to you though to be obedient to that plan. You take Jonah, he was running, hiding and ultimately comfortable even to the point of sleeping through the storm! God WOKE him up because of his disobedience. Then again you take Noah even through the doubts, the mocking he remained faithful unto the Lord! The Lord has prayed for you, that's good!  31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” Matthew 22:31-32  Thank you as always for joining in for another week!

Most importantly knowing where they will spend eternity!  "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 Thanks for joining in for another week!

A Servant for the Lord

Do we have a deep one for you this week! Not straying far off from sufferings, but yet the servanthood side of it! Is it hard to serve Christ when you are suffering? What about just in your everyday life? Paul says, "I am not Ashamed!"  "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God..." 2 Timothy 1:8 Thanks for joining in for another week' Bro. Lane, Bro. Zach, Bro. Philip, Bro. Ryan, Bro. Duke, Bro. David

Episode 32 You Will Come Through the Fire...

We are back on trials in this episode! As a follower of Christ we should not say if we go through a fiery trial, but when we do! Just as this whole podcast is based after, Picking up Your Cross will ultimately take sacrifice and commitment! Sometimes that will lead down a trial for you to endure!  We have a Savior in whom we Love and we have never seen HIM! How is that possible? We invite you to our services on Sunday to hear more on this topic!  As always we thank you for joining us Bro. Lane, Bro. Philip, Bro. Ryan, Bro. David
