Deny Ourselves

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the biblical command to deny oneself, take up the cross daily, and follow Jesus Christ, highlighting that this self-denial is not about neglecting family or basic needs but about rejecting pride, self-righteousness, and sinful desires. It underscores that believers are the purchased possession of Christ, called to glorify God in body and spirit, and to follow Him even unto death. The preacher stresses the necessity of the Holy Spirit's work in enabling true self-denial and the hope of resurrection and eternal life with Christ. Ultimately, the sermon calls Christians to live in humble dependence on Christ, anticipating His return and striving to be purified as He is pure.
