Are You A Bystander or a Cross-Bearer? :: The Cross :: Alvin Brown

Life doesn’t always go as planned. 

We pack our days with schedules and expectations, yet interruptions often force us into unexpected decisions. 

In this message, we explore the powerful story of Simon of Cyrene—a man whose ordinary day was disrupted when he was compelled to carry Jesus’ cross.

Are we merely bystanders in our faith, or are we willing to bear the weight of the cross when called upon? 

Through Simon’s encounter, we uncover lessons of justice, obedience, and joy that challenge us to move beyond passive Christianity into a life of true discipleship.

🔹 What will you do when God interrupts your plans?
🔹 Will you step in, take action, or walk away?

Join us as we reflect on the call to follow Jesus—not just in word, but in action.
