"Following Jesus" - John 21:19-25

Pastor Wilkins in his May 6, 2007 Sermon states:

"There is a paradox to life -- we cannot live until we give up oru lives for others (Matthew 16:24-25). This is true because man is created after the image of God and thus, must live like GOd lives.

But if they are to be used in this great work, they must learn to follow Jesus themselves..."
