Discipleship is not limited to attending church on Sunday but extends to being the church daily.

2. Mark 8:31-32
And he began to teach them that the Son
of Man must suffer many things and be
rejected by the elders and the chief priests
and the scribes and be killed, and after
three days rise again. And he said this
plainly. And Peter took him aside and
began to rebuke him.

3. Mark 8:33-34
But turning and seeing his disciples, he
rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me,
Satan! For you are not setting your mind
on the things of God, but on the things of
man.” And calling the crowd to him with
his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone
would come after me, let him deny himself
and take up his cross and follow me.

4. Mark 8:35-37
For whoever would save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake and
the gospel’s will save it. For what does it
profit a man to gain the whole world and
forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in
return for his soul?

5. Mark 8:38-9:1
For whoever is ashamed of me and of my
words in this adulterous and sinful
generation, of him will the Son of Man also
be ashamed when he comes in the glory of
his Father with the holy angels.” And he
said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are
some standing here who will not taste
death until they see the kingdom of God
after it has come with power.”
