Annual Meeting 2025: How To Save Your Life (Mat. 10:39; Mat. 16:25; Luke 17:33; John 12:25)

Summary

Elder Tim McCoo's sermon explores the paradoxical teaching of Jesus that to save one's life, one must lose it, emphasizing the spiritual truth that true life is found through self-denial and surrender to Christ. He examines four key gospel passages where Jesus speaks about losing and saving life, highlighting contexts such as the apostles' mission, Peter's misunderstanding of Jesus' purpose, the example of Lot's wife regarding attachment to worldly possessions, and the call to eternal life in John. The message challenges believers to embrace a deeper, more sacrificial faith and to reject superficial or worldly attachments to truly experience the life God intends.
