Sermon Overview: Jesus explained that he would die on the cross and then rise again, but Peter did not understand and initially rejected what Jesus said. Jesus rebuked Peter and then told his followers to take up their crosses and follow him. That message applies to us today, but if, like Peter, we don't understand the crosses in our lives, we may reject them.

Sermon Topics:

1. Jesus' cross was for your salvation
2. Your crosses are for your sinful nature
