9/21/2025 Cross Carrying

This week pastor Andy Cooke is back in the pulpit reading Jesus' words from Luke 14: "Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children...cannot be my disciple." It is...interesting...to read and preach those words when your father, mother, wife, and child sit a few feet away. Some might want to skip over these words of Jesus, but I really appreciate them. And I'll preach it the same way whether or not my parents are in the pew. I hope that you'll come with an open mind on Sunday and hear what Jesus has to say to us.
