Following Jesus comes with a price. In a world that craves blessing without sacrifice and crowns without crosses, this message calls us back to the true meaning of discipleship. The cross is not a symbol of inconvenience, but of complete surrender. In this sermon, we explore the daily call to deny ourselves, take up our unique crosses, and follow Christ into a life of death to self and power in Him. Discover what it truly means to live a crucified life, and what you may need to lay down to go deeper with God.

What does it truly mean to follow Jesus? In this message, we explore the marks that define a genuine disciple of Christ. Discipleship is not a moment—it's a lifestyle rooted in daily surrender and focused devotion. A true disciple cultivates discipline, walks in obedience, bears spiritual fruit, and lives a life of radical love—the highest mark of all. Fruitfulness reveals growth, obedience reflects commitment, and love confirms identity. Jesus isn’t calling us to admire Him, but to follow Him. Are you living as His disciple? It's time to align your life with His call: Follow Me.

This message is a heartfelt call to return to childlike faith, a faith marked by purity, wonder, dependence, and undivided love for God. Too often, like the disciples, we walk with Jesus yet remain distracted by the world. We attend church but miss His presence. We serve but forget our purpose. Rise Like a Child reminds us that true greatness in God’s Kingdom isn’t found in position or power, but in humility, surrender, and simple trust. Don’t just go through the motions, rise into intimacy. Love God deeply. Return to wonder. Live with childlike devotion.
