True Success

This passage from Jesus Christ discusses the requirements for true success. To follow Jesus, one must deny oneself, take up their cross, and follow him. Those who try to save their own life will lose it, while those who lose their life for Jesus' sake will find it. A person gains nothing if they gain the whole world but lose their soul, as there is nothing that can be given in exchange for one's soul. When the Son of Man returns in glory, he will reward each person according to their works.

Sermon 02.05.12 - The Comfortable Cross
Jesus took Peter, James and John with him to pray in Gethsemane. He was deeply sorrowful and asked them to keep watch with him. He prayed to God that if possible, to take away the cup of suffering from him, but to do God's will. Later passages discuss how God uses weakness and foolishness to shame the wise and strong, and that through weaknesses, Christ's power is made perfect. Believers should consider trials as joy knowing that perseverance developed through testing leads to spiritual maturity.
Follow Me
1. To follow Jesus, one must deny their past self and old ways, take up their cross by sacrificing for others out of love for God and people, and follow Jesus above all else.
2. True disciples lose their old life and find new life in Christ as they are made new creations focused on becoming who God intends.
3. By following Jesus above saving ourselves, we find eternal life through losing our lives in service to Him and others.
Sermon 09.30.12- Finding Greatness
Jesus teaches that the greatest commandments are to love God with all your being and to love your neighbor as yourself. When James and John ask to sit at Jesus' right and left in glory, Jesus says they do not know what they are asking and that true greatness comes from service, not status. He reminds his disciples that he came to serve and give his life for others.

Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is important as we all have an inner voice, or "Self", that can guide or misguide us. Martin Luther recognized this and stated that he feared his own inner thoughts and impulses more than any external authority like the Pope. True understanding comes from looking within and gaining insight into our own nature, motivations and flaws.

True Success
- 1. “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” Jesus Christ True Success
