The Cost of Discipleship

April 13, 2014 ()

Bible Text: Mark 8:31-38 |

Series:

What does it mean to take up your cross and follow Jesus? What does it mean to deny yourself? This sermon examines Jesus' difficult challenge. Pastor Tim looks at what it meant practically to the first disciples, and how we are called to live it out today.



Mark

The gospel of Mark tells us of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Under the inspiration of the Spirit, Mark presents Jesus as the Son of God and the suffering Servant sent to save his people. Mark stresses the authority of Jesus, his great sacrifice, and what it means to be his disciple. This book was given to make and encourage disciples of Jesus, and this sermon series seeks to do the same by proclaiming Mark's message for today's generation.
