THE GREAT GIVEAWAY: The (Not So) Secret Way to a Life Worth Living-Lose Your Life to Find Your Life

WestGate Church Teaching

In one of the most provocative (and difficult) sayings of Jesus, He invites people to “deny themselves, pick up their cross and follow me.” One of the least appealing recruitment statements ever. And yet, despite what our culture or our world screams, the way to life is not to affirm myself, assert my wants and serve my own interests - it’s to do the exact opposite (which is what Jesus says to do). And in doing so, we find that though this path will cost us, it is always, always worth it. SPEAKERS: David Tieche (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Matthew 16:21-27 NIV
