What If You Got Everything You Wanted… and Lost Yourself? | Questions of Jesus

In this episode of the Central Church Podcast, Casey continues the Questions of Jesus series with Mark 8:34-38, exploring Jesus’ question: What does it profit us to gain the whole world but lose our soul? Casey challenges us to consider what we may be willing to trade for comfort, success, security, influence, and recognition, and asks who we are becoming in the process. He connects Jesus’ teaching to His temptation in the wilderness and reminds us that following Jesus means surrendering self-rule, taking up our cross, and choosing obedience over the shortcuts that promise fulfillment without surrender.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Announcements05:57 - Young Ministry Changes08:00 - The Cost of Discipleship15:59 - Temptation in the Wilderness22:42 - Nothing Worth Losing Your Soul27:15 - Take Up Your Cross29:41 - Grace, Not Self-Improvement33:05 - Communion and SurrenderFor more information and resources, visit centralchurch.cc or email [email protected].
