Take Up Your Cross 2026 08 30

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 16, where Peter — who just got it right — hears Jesus name the cross ahead and answers with the hardest word the language has: never. But Peter's "never" isn't rebellion; it's a theology, a picture of God he loves too much to let change. What might it look like to bring your own never with you, and still fall in behind the One who goes first?Scripture references: Exodus 3:1-6, 13-15; Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26,45b; Matthew 16:21-28“CHRIST IS ENOUGH” -- CCLI Song # 6514035  |  Jonas Myrin | Reuben Morgan  |  © 2012 Hillsong MP Songs (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  Hillsong Music Publishing Australia (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  For use solely with theSongSelect® Terms of Use.
