Paul Pedersen’s sermon on “Whoever desires to follow after Jesus” was a challenge to the church to take up 
the elements of salvation and commit, submit, and be equipped for the live of serving Christ. Some notable quotes were: ” How do we submit to Christ?”, “It’s through life transformation that God’s Will changes us inside”, and “We need to be both willing and wanting…. are you willing and wanting today?”
Paul used the following scriptures: Mark 8:31-38, 9:1, 10:28, James 4:6-7, Heb. 13:20-21, Eph. 4:11. Matt. 14:27, Acts 1:8, 1 Cor. 3:6
