Is following Jesus all it's cracked up to be?
Honestly, has your Christian life turned out to be what you thought it would be when you opted in? If not--if you have experienced disappointment or disillusionment as a disciple--you have probably heard the tempting whisper, "Why not opt out?"
The passage we will study together this Sunday at White Pine will explain why suffering is part of salvation, and, more importantly, it will remind us why it's still worth it to follow Jesus, painful though it may be at times. I pray that Mark 8:31 - 9:13 will give you a second wind.
