The Church we've been called to walk the narrow path. We've been given the assignment of carrying our cross daily.

We've been told to be busy in the harvest fields that we have to

put to death our selfish nature and not a single one of those things is presented

to us as an option.

So if you're looking for a daily routine, you want a little checklist for spiritual growth,

for lining up in your race with the horses on a daily basis, choose the narrow path.

On a regular basis, choose to take up your cross.

You're listening to Alan Jackson Ministries. You can get the outlines for this

episode at Alan Jackson.com slash podcast. If these messages help build you up

or encourage you to be a more fully devoted Christ follower,

leave us a five star rating and review.

Hopefully that will help others find out about them as well.

Now it's on to Pastor Allen. Be blessed.

I want to continue the discussion we've been having around determined faith

because I'm absolutely convinced that if we're going to be the church in this next season it's going to take of us a determined faith.

More than church faith or polite faith or attending faith or let me just get saved faith.

We're going to have to have a determined faith to be the people of God.

And I'd like to start with a familiar character. I've tried to borrow some familiar

characters in this little series so that we don't have to spend a lot of time learning

the context. I've tried to choose people that I think you're already

familiar with and tonight I certainly believe that's true with

Jonah.
