Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!
What does it actually cost to follow Jesus? In this Bible study from Mark 8:34-38, Pastor Robert unpacks one of the most challenging and important passages in all of Scripture — a direct call from Jesus Himself on the true terms of discipleship.
This is not a message about self-improvement or becoming a better version of yourself. Jesus is calling His followers to something far deeper: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him daily.
What You’ll Learn:
1. Why discipleship and salvation cannot be separated
2. What it means to “deny yourself” — and why it's the same word used for Peter's denial of Jesus
3. The cost of taking up your cross in a world that pressures you to fit in
4. Why the person who tries hardest to save their life is the one who loses it
5. The sobering warning of Mark 8:36 — what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
6. Why no amount of success, wealth, or worldly achievement can compensate for spiritual bankruptcy
7. The irreversibility of trading your soul — and why only God can redeem it
8. What it means to be “ashamed” of Jesus, and the eternal consequences of public silence about your faith
9. How the Second Coming of Christ will expose every hidden loyalty
Whether you are new to faith, exploring Christianity, or a long-time believer, this sermon will challenge you to examine the depth and authenticity of your walk with Jesus. True discipleship is not a one-time decision — it is a daily death. The world's best offer is still a bad trade. And what you do with Jesus in public is what He will do with you in eternity. Don't sell your soul for something that cannot last.
We pray that you are blessed by the message!
