The sermon focuses on the powerful concept of self-denial and its crucial role in deepening one's relationship with Jesus Christ. It highlights the idea that to truly follow Christ, individuals must be willing to give up certain aspects of their lives, such as time, comfort, and even relationships that might stand in the way of their full commitment to Him. The preacher emphasizes that Christ's teachings are not optional but are expectations for those seeking to live in accordance with His will.

The sermon concludes with a call to self-examination, asking whether listeners are living in line with the teaching of self-denial. A final prayer is offered, seeking God's help in setting aside selfish desires and embracing His blessings, with an encouragement to commit to spiritual growth through self-denial.
