SPECIAL: Who Do You Say? (Come Follow Me - Sunday Main Series)

This message dives into Mark 8:27-38, a pivotal point in the Gospel of Mark, focusing on Jesus's key question: "Who do you say I am?" The message explores the passage in three parts: restoring our sight to understand who Jesus truly is, answering the crucial question of Jesus' identity, and the call to take up our cross to truly follow Him. It challenges listeners to move beyond intellectual agreement to a personal understanding and confession of Jesus as Lord. The sermon emphasizes that salvation depends on correctly identifying Jesus and responding by releasing control of one's life to Him. It also examines the cost of discipleship, urging listeners to deny themselves and surrender everything to Christ for lasting joy and hope. The message concludes with the questions: "Who do you say Jesus is?" and "What are you going to do about it?" (Preached by Steve Coots on Sunday, Feb 16th, 2025 in regular service)
