What things challenge you?
I tell you what challenges me - parenting, phonics, you might be challenged by finances.

Unquestionably the most challenging thing I have ever attempted is following Jesus.
Following Jesus in a world that rejected Him is difficult.
Followers of Christ struggle with apathy and indifference.
"Can we be casual in the work of God -- casual when the house is on fire, and people in danger of being burned?"
- Duncan Campbell
Followers of Christ face seduction by materialism and creature comforts.
Perhaps the saddest observation of all is that the spending habits of people in the church differ little from those of the world.
The lifestyles of most professing Christians are not substantially different from anyone else’s.
Too many in the church have adopted the world’s indulgent attitude toward money.
Almost every form of materialistic extravagance and excess has found its way into the fellowship of believers.
It is as if the church has forgotten Jesus’ mandate to invest in eternity.
These things anesthetize our spiritual fervor.
Followers of Jesus face spiritual and moral compromise.
Frank Page, the Southern Baptist Convention’s CEO of the Executive Committee, resigned from his position on March 27, 2018 over “a morally inappropriate relationship in the recent past.”
"I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church."
- Charles Spurgeon

All this makes my point - the most challenging thing.
The most difficult of all tasks is living for Jesus in a world that loathes him.
Mummy at the Louver - He just laid there.
- What impressed me was the science behind preserving this body.
It is incredibly challenging to live for Jesus in a world that doesn’t love Him.
It was challenging in the first century to live for Jesus.
People were being stoned.
Fed to the lions.
They had peaces of the skull removed and hot lead poured in - because of their commitment to Christ.
The greatness of our challenge melts at the feet of our glorious savior.
Why is John struggling?
Because He is living for Jesus in a non-Jesus world!
The greatest need in your life is to see Christ as He is.
You need to see Jesus as the real superman.
Dead men are unimpressive.
Mummy at the Louver - He just laid there.
- What impressed me was the scince behind preserving this body.
Easter reminds us that Jesus is far greater than most of us have begun to imagine.
John was so impressed with Jesus that all the blood rushes out of his brain and he passes out on his face!
“Because the face of God is so lovely, my brothers and sisters, so beautiful, once you have seen it, nothing else can give you pleasure.
It will give insatiable satisfaction of which we will never tire.”
The view of the risen Christ changes everything!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus look full in his wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.
The greatest need in your life is to hear what He says.
Jesus is not claiming to be a great man but the God man.
Jesus claims to have passed from death to life.
“
Jesus is the only one who can unlock the grave!
Christ holds the keys which means he is the singular access point for death and life.
Every hope, every confidence, every ache in our soul demands Jesus as He claims to be.

What are we going to do with Jesus in a world that either doesn’t want Him as He claims to be or wants to put its spin on Him to yield a harmless, sedate Jesus who threatens no one?

Every hope, every confidence, every ache in our soul demands Jesus as He claims to be.
