Follow Jesus - let us show you how!

Introduction and Welcome

Hello Church and welcome those who are joining us online. We are grateful to God that you are able to join with us today and for those who have travelled away and are watching, it sure is great that you can still be in church even as you vacation.

Well today, I want to start the year with the call to Follow Jesus on 2023. You and I know that this is a daily choice, and one that can be costly and dificult at times, yet it is always worth it everytime.

Jesus is worthy of it all!

We will keep todays service a bit shorter again, but let me wish you all a very Happy New Year for 2023. May God’s blessings be upon our lives as weface any and evey challenge that might come our way.

Philippians 3: 15 - 21

15 Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you. 16 But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.

17 Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. 18 For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. 20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. 21 He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.
