Embracing My Life In Christ
THE BIG IDEA:
In Christ, I’m Not Defined
by my Behavior – But by
The Father’s Character!
Matthew 16: 24 MEV
Then Jesus said to His disciples,
“If anyone will come after Me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross,
and follow Me.
You can find this well-known verse
scattered all over social media.
Everyone announcing
what we all know!
Even though we are
NEW CREATIONS IN CHRIST,
we still have some serious issues.
I’m selfish, greedy and angry,
and if I don’t deny myself
I’ll never be able to love you.
There is only one problem!
That’s not the gospel.
The gospel is not about me
DENYING MYSELF,
no the Gospel is all about me
FINDING MYSELF IN CHRIST &
EMBRACING WHO I AM IN CHRIST!
So how am I to understand
the words of Jesus to
DENY MYSELF?
This message will put
Jesus’ words into a
Gospel context.
It is a challenging message,
where we will discover
a deeper truth!
And, as Jesus said,
“You will know the truth
and the truth will set you free!”
