Bridge Burners

Greetings to all. As we reflect this weekend, let us focus on the choices we make, what to embrace, what to leave behind, and how these decisions shape our faith journey.

Every day, we face choices: Will we accept new challenges, or hold on to things and relationships that may be harmful? While it’s often wise to preserve our connections, following Jesus sometimes requires us to courageously let go of anything that could hold us back in our walk of faith. Embracing a new purpose and direction becomes our priority. In doing so, we become bridge burners, leaving the past behind for a new life!

Matthew 16:24 (KJV 1900)

24Then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Lesson: To mark a complete spiritual break from the past, people in the Bible, and today, often give up what ties them to their former lives (Acts 19:19, 1 Kings 19:21).
