The Point of No Return | Matthew 16:21-28 | Pastor Chris Buscher

Many people today are “deconstructing” their faith.But walking away from Christ rarely happens overnight. It usually begins with small compromises, unresolved disappointment, hidden sin, or distractions that slowly pull someone away from the mission of God.In Matthew 16, Jesus confronts His disciples with a defining moment. After Peter declares Him to be the Christ, Jesus begins explaining the true cost of following Him.“Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.’”Matthew 16:24 (ESV)This message challenges believers to move beyond admiration and into full surrender.Once you see Jesus clearly, there is a point of no return.Sermon recorded at Mountain Valley Chapel in Gold Bar, Washington.
