Follow Me: Part 1 | Pastor Jacob Sheriff

In this sermon Pastor Jacob explores what the "good life" truly is by contrasting cultural visions of comfort, success, and desire with Jesus' call to discipleship. Drawing from Genesis 1-3 and Matthew 16, it shows how human desires for good things become disordered when we trust our own judgment instead of God's word. The core invitation is to deny self-lordship, take up the cross, and align our deepest longings with God's desires—leading to resurrection life through death to self-centeredness. Ultimately, discipleship means betting our entire life on Jesus as Lord rather than on our own vision of the good life.
