28th December 2025 - Shelby O'ReillyScripture: Mark 8:34-9:1In this sermon from Mark 8:34 to 9:1, Jesus asks a confronting question that cuts beneath belief and straight into commitment. Through a relatable story, rich biblical reflection, and Jesus’ words about denying ourselves and taking up our cross, we are invited to examine the lenses we use to measure our lives. Comfort, security, success, or Christ.As we stand on the edge of a new year, this message challenges us to move beyond simply believing in Jesus and toward wholeheartedly living for Him. What would change if we viewed our plans, priorities, and daily rhythms through the lens of Christ rather than human concerns?This sermon is a call to honest reflection, courageous faith, and renewed commitment. A reminder that following Jesus is not just about knowing who He is, but choosing, day by day, to live for Him and Him alone.
