26-Mark: Deny Yourself: The Real Cost of Following Jesus

What does it really mean to follow Jesus?

In this powerful message, from the Gospel of Mark, we dive into Jesus’ bold call in Mark 8 and Matthew 19: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow me." But what does deny yourself truly mean in today’s world? What are you holding onto that’s keeping you from fully following Christ?

Following Peter’s rebuke to the rich young ruler’s tragic decision, this sermon reveals how Jesus lovingly confronts what we cling to—and invites us into real discipleship.

🛑 No fence-riding. No halfway faith. This message will challenge you to examine your heart and make a decision: Will you follow Him… or follow the world?

🙌 Whether you’re wrestling with money, pride, identity, or security, this sermon will help you lay it down and follow the only One who can save.
