A Challenging Invitation Pastor James Burke
Sunday, June 6, 2022 – Today we are discussing one of those hard topics that Jesus teaches – He says that we are to “Take up your cross and follow me”. I’ll be honest with you, I struggled this week in the preparation of this message, yet I believe that the Holy Spirit brought clarity to my thinking. The concept of “taking up my cross” is a very personal command from Jesus, yet it’s really not about me at all, it’s all about Jesus and the redemption that He provides on the cross that He took up. In the day Jesus was speaking, the cross was not what we consider it to be today. We consider the cross a religious emblem, but in Jesus' time, it was an emblem of death for those that deserved to be punished. The cross that Jesus willingly hung on and died on was not about punishment, but totally and wholly about redemption. So when Jesus says that we are to take up our cross, understand that it's not about punishment for us any more than it was for Him. Rather, it’s how we can share in the redemption process of our life along with Jesus. The enemy used the cross to bring death, God used the cross the bring life, eternally. Worship along with us and let’s celebrate the way we can have abundant life as learn how we can take up our cross and follow Jesus…

"Keeping it Simple" Wednesday night services. Verse by verse teaching through the book of Mark by Assistant Pastor Darrell Logan of Calvary Queen Creek, AZ.
In week 38, we study the passage where Jesus asks the question "What does it profit if we gain the whole world, but lose our soul?"

Terms and Conditions of Discipleship Mark 8:34-38 Big Idea: Jesus invites us to follow him, but to do so requires a cost. If we are to be disciples of Jesus, we must be willing to deny ourselves and follow Him as our Lord. The Price of Discipleship • Self-Righteousness - A disciple must come to Jesus • Self-Denial - A disciple must deny oneself. • Self-Preservation - A disciple must persevere in persecution. • Self-Determinism - A disciple must follow to Jesus The Purpose Statement of Discipleship • The way to save your life is to lose it! The Penalty of Denying Discipleship
There is a cost to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. In Mark 8:34-38, Jesus turns to his disciples...and the multitudes...and lays out this simple truth: it will cost much to be a true disciple of Jesus. It takes denial of self. It requires a willingness to bear the cross of persecution. It demands obedience. Listen in as Stephen Snipes (on staff at Needhams Grove) unfolds Christ's words and challenges us to be disciples of Christ!
Sometimes when we talk about missions and reaching the world for Christ we forget about the place where missions began. It all started at the cross. This Bible message challenges us to have a cross-centred perspective of missions. You can find out more about Lakeland Baptist Church through our church website at www.lakelandbaptist.ca.

When Jesus calls people to follow Him, is that an invitation to salvation or to discipleship? Is there a difference? We’re taking a few weeks to work through Mark 8:34-38 and parallel passages in Matthew and Luke to dig deeper and find out what really is involved in following Jesus. Pastor Ron

From soul music to soul food, we use the term soul to describe cars, people and preferences. Yet what is a soul? Do we have a soul? If we have a soul, what does it need? In Mark 8:36 Jesus says, “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul?” Jesus implies we have a responsibility for our soul. What could that mean?
discover and experience the life you were meant to live!

Peter. While his name calls to mind some unfortunate mistakes, it also rings of some of the most spiritually sensitive moments in the New Testament; such as we'll see in our study today when he gets a revelation from God the Father. Thanks for joining us as we continue our series through the Gospel of Mark.

Radical Christianity? Or Normal Christianity? Jesus' call to follow Him is a call to us all... and it is a call the people didn't expect.
Want it all? Give it all...
Want it all? Give it all...
Rev. Dr. David D. Young offers his sermon titled "A Higher Desire." Scripture readings of the day are Mark 8:34-38 and John 15:12-17.
Pastor Warren finished chapter 8 of Mark, looking at the serious call to take up our cross and follow Jesus no matter the cost. Warren used stories from around the globe on the persecution of the church to encourage us and challenge us to our own level of commitment to follow Christ no matter the cost.
Have you ever noticed that Jesus says one needs to count the cost of following Him? There is the cost of self-denial and the cost of denial.

This week we are looking at another Gospel theme, one that is particularly emphasised in Mark's Gospel. Since Mark is writing to the church in Rome, which has undergone some serious persecution, Mark is interested in collecting sayings of Jesus that will help explain to his readers that suffering is part of Kingdom life. A casual reading of the Old Testament would give the impression that suffering is a sign of God's disfavour and prosperity is an indication of a holy life. This is because the covenantal relationship between God and the Children of Israel was tied to the land and since they did not have the indwelling Holy Spirit, they were told that the best indication of their faithfulness was the productivity of their land. Old Testament writers are shocked and dismayed by suffering. They conclude something must be wrong with their relationship to God if they suffer. New Testament writers have an entirely different view. They expect suffering and in fact embrace it as in sharing the suffering of Christ. They saw Jesus as their model of holiness and noted that he suffered and fulfilled God’s purposes, so therefore why would they also not suffer for the sake of the Kingdom? So Mark is helping the Roman believers make sense of their persecution. He collects the sayings of Jesus that help accomplish that end. Our text is key to that understanding. By the way, Mark is an apprentice of the Apostle Peter who also served in Rome. It is not coincidental that he would write in 1 Peter 4:12-13 that the believers should not “be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon them.” Jesus tells the disciples and the crowd that true followers will deny themselves, take up their crosses and follow him. Of course this means suffering, since the crucifixion was at the end of the Via Dolorosa. He warns the disciples that giving up one’s life is truly worthwhile. The alternative is unthinkable. Denying Christ at the time of trial is also unthinkable because to do so would mean that at the second coming Jesus would in turn be ashamed of the disloyal Christian. At the end of the text Jesus talks about seeing the Kingdom come with power. This is a reference to both the transfiguration which is the next story that Mark records, and of course the crucifixion. In Christ's suffering he brought the new age, the new Kingdom. He conquered death and established his reign. In a similar way, persecution is linked to power in Kingdom terms. The persecuted church sees and realizes this to be true. The Gospel advances powerfully when believers suffer.
