In this message based on Luke 9:23-25, we unpack what it truly means to lose your life to find it. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him—not as a burden, but as the path to real purpose and lasting freedom. While the world urges us to chase success, comfort, and self-preservation, Jesus flips the script and invites us into something greater. This sermon challenges us to surrender control, die to selfish ambition, and embrace the kind of life only found in total obedience to Christ. If you’ve ever struggled with letting go of your own plans or wondered if following Jesus is worth the cost, this word is for you. Discover how giving up your life for Him leads to finding the life you were always meant to live.
