Description
Jesus had a way of turning things on their head big time. We call ourselves his followers, but are we really willing to dare to follow him when he says: 'Take up your cross' 'Love your enemies' 'I did not come to bring peace, but a sword'?
Event Details
Franconia United Methodist Church invites you to a free Bible study on “I Wish Jesus Hadn’t Said That!” Jesus had a way of turning things on their head big time. We call ourselves his followers, but are we really willing to dare to follow him when he says: 'Take up your cross' 'Love your enemies' 'I did not come to bring peace, but a sword' 'Go and make disciples of all nations' Let's face it, being a follower of Jesus can be rather inconvenient ... a pain in the neck. It cuts right across so many of our 'natural' rights and desires. Or so we think. But the paradox is that it's in the losing, rather than the loving, of our lives that we find amazing joy and deep fulfilment. Obeying God, rather than spoiling everything, enables us to live the life we were always made to live. We are located at 6037 Franconia Road, Alexandia, at the corner of Beulah and Franconia, next to the Franconia Elementary School, convenient to the Fairfax Connector routes 231, 232, and 310. Our church is handicapped accessible. Contact us at 703 971-5151 or admin@franconiaumc.org, and our website is http://www.franconiaumc.org. Two class time opportunities start on Sept 23 at 7PM or Oct 5 at 6 PM. Please sign up by Sept 10.
