It's a high bar of entry: It will require you to reorder your entire life around following Jesus as your undisputed top priority, over your job, your money, your reputation - over everything. Yet all these things will find their rightful place once integrated into a life of apprenticeship.” -- John Mark Comer, Practicing The Way The sermon today is titled "No Accidental Saints."
