Preparing for Easter by Following the Path to the Cross, Part 1, “Take up Your Cross,” was given last Wednesday night, March 11, at Olde Towne Community Church in Ridgeland, Mississippi. It was intended to be the first in a four-part Lenten series. Since services at Olde Towne have been suspended due to the Corona Virus, I’ve prepared Part 2, “No Choice bu to Choose,” in this short video that can be accessed by clicking here The video begins with a brief summary of Part 1, “Take up Your Cross” (Mark 8:22–10:52). My prayer is that it will help us prepare for Easter by coming to the foot of the cross.
