Matthew 16: 21-27  "Levels of Faith - Part 3" - Jesus said to His disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow Me".  In these passages, Jesus tells us how to save our souls.
Do you have serving faith?  Do you ask yourself "What can I do to serve the Lord?"
