Then and Now: How the Cross Impacts Us Today explores the profound significance of the cross both in biblical times and in our lives today. Pastor Lee Jenkins teaches that the cross is not just a symbol but a call to humility, suffering, and death to self. Through scripture, personal stories, and powerful illustrations, listeners are challenged to truly carry their cross and follow Christ wholeheartedly.Verses:Matthew 16:24, Matthew 16:21-24, Philippians 2:3-8, 1 Peter 5:5-6, Philippians 1:29, Galatians 2:20Key Points/Topics Covered:The Cross as a Symbol of HumilityThe Cross as a Symbol of SufferingThe Cross as a Symbol of Death to SelfUnderstanding True Discipleship Requires Denial of SelfBrokenness Often Precedes BlessingTime Stamps:00:00 - Introduction to Then and Now Series03:30 - The Logo that Changed the World10:15 - Jesus Predicts His Death and Peter's Rebuke18:00 - Pallbearers vs Dream Bearers in Your Life24:45 - The Cross as a Symbol of Humility35:00 - Personal Story: Humility Lesson at Spelman College42:30 - The Cross as a Symbol of Suffering52:00 - Brokenness Before Blessing58:30 - The Cross as a Symbol of Death01:05:00 - Invitation to Follow Jesus and Closing PrayerMain Takeaways:- The cross should humble us daily, reminding us that life is not about us but about God's will.- Suffering is a privilege and part of the Christian journey, preparing us for greater blessings.- True discipleship requires dying to our own desires and fully submitting to God's plans.Call to Action:Subscribe to the Eagles Nest Church podcast, share this message with someone who needs encouragement, and visit eaglesnestchurch.org for more resources.
