Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, God of All Seasons. This week Pastor Henry explores the challenge of giving up what’s holding us back in order to follow Jesus. We cannot step into the next season with our hands full of the last, as new life requires releasing the old life, pain, and controls. Remember that letting go is a strength move, not a failure, and it begins with accepting God’s love rather than relying on willpower or obligation. Even when letting go seems impossible with man, the scripture reminds us that with God, all things are possible.
And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. – Mark 10:20-22 (ESV)
