Recreate Church, Pastor Michael Shockley—Service, June 11, 2023

I Can't Make It About Me Today, Pastor Michael is looking at Jesus returning to Galilee with his disciples.  He calls the folks at a distance to come and listen to Him.   Jesus states, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me and the gospel will save it. For what does it benefit someone to gain the whole world and yet lose his life? What can anyone give in exchange for his life? For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” This is about true freedom and connecting with something bigger than you. If you want to be free, you can’t make it about you.  Verses can be found in Mark 8: 34-38.
