Jeremiah 26:1-16 - “Take Up Your Cross” - March 8, 2026

Is it worth it to be a Christian? Following Jesus can be hard. Some days, the devil makes it seem like it isn’t worth it. Is it? Yes! You have what everybody else is looking for. Do you realize that? You have forgiveness for every sin. You have peace with God. You have hope. You have a future. You have life—life here on earth and forever in heaven. You have what everybody else is looking for! You have value. Jesus died for you! You have an identity—the blood-bought child of God. Is it worth it to be a Christian? Yes! It’s true that Jesus asks you to give up everything. But then he gives you so much more. I hope you can listen to this sermon: “Take Up Your Cross.” Jesus loves you!
