Sermon Notes
Luke 9:18-19 NASB
And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.”
Luke 9:20a NASB
And He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Luke 9:20b NASB
And Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
Luke 9:21-22 NASB
But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone, saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised on the third day.”
Luke 9:23 NASB
And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
Luke 9:24-25 NASB
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, this is the one who will save it. For what good does it do a person if he gains the whole world, but loses or forfeits himself?
Luke 9:23 NASB
And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
Luke 9:23 NASB
And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
2 Corinthians 4:7-10 NASB
But we have this treasure in earthen containers, so that the extraordinary greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying around in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Philippians 2:3-4 NASB
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:5-8 NASB
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross.
