Deny Yourself - Intention, Attention, & Drift

As we look at Jesus' command to "Deny yourself and take up your cross daily," Brock uncovers three powerful words that challenge our understanding of true discipleship: intention, attention, and drift. This passage invites us to examine the depth of our relationship with Jesus, moving beyond mere knowledge to genuine intimacy. We're called to question whether we truly know Christ or simply know about Him. The sermon challenges us to consider if we're living out our faith authentically or falling into 'cultural Christianity.' It reminds us that Jesus seeks faithful followers, not just fair-weather friends. We're encouraged to align our intentions with Christ's, give Him our full attention, and guard against spiritual drift. This message speaks directly to our hearts, urging us to deny ourselves daily, take up our cross, and follow Jesus with unwavering commitment.
