Lead Minister Wes McElravy challenges believers to embrace what it truly means to follow Christ rather than simply admire Him. Using the theme “We Are Followers” he explains that following Jesus means identifying with His path. We must take up our cross, live by His example, and move beyond passive belief into active obedience.

He warns against the complacency of sitting in church while living like the world, and urges believers to let their lives be marked by service, sacrifice, and loyalty to Him above convenience or approval.

Lead Minister Wes McElravy emphasizes that true faith shows itself in the choices we make when no one’s watching, urging believers to live with integrity and courage. He points out that facing trials and making unpopular decisions isn’t a detour—it’s the road of transformation. Rather than conforming to comfort or approval, the sermon calls Christians to embrace the refining work of God, stepping into their identity as Christ’s followers and trusting that hidden faith will eventually be seen and honored.
