Cut The Ties

Have you ever been so sure that you were being obedient to God but had a hard time following through because of pressure from someone close to you? Family and close friends are some of the greatest gifts from God, and they generally mean well in whatever they say. Yet, they can also be the one thing that stands in your way of fully trusting and obeying God even when they don't realize it. Jesus is clear that we have to be willing to part with ANYTHING & EVERYTHING to follow him and be his disciple. This week at Friendship, we'll look more into how Jesus handled the opinions and actions of his own biological family members, as well as a prominent Old Testament figure whose biological family was holding him back from all that God had planned for him. We'll be challenged in our own lives to consider how, when, and where we need to "Cut the Ties". We don't want you to miss this opportunity to keep moving forward on the adventure of a lifetime with the Lord as your Captain!
