Unpopular

Being right and being popular are seldom the same thing.  Follow this three-part worship series through the unpopular prayers of John Wesley.

Humility
Mortification
Resignation

These are not the traits that get you ahead in this world.  Material wealth, fame, and status does not follow the meek, the humble, or those that deny themselves.  We are told every day by our culture to indulge, to purchase, to consume, and to take care of number one.  Jesus denies this worldly wisdom.

To follow Christ, one must first be humble, deny self, and be resign themselves to the will of God.
