In this message, Guest Preacher Jacob Garcia (Church Planter) invites us to wrestle with a searching question: Why do you follow Me? As Jesus uses physical language to reveal spiritual truth, many of His disciples are confronted with a hard saying and choose to walk away. Jacob contrasts a faith shaped by convenience with a faith shaped by the cross, reminding us that we must decide whether we will embrace the life Jesus offers or pursue a version of faith that fits our own desires.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1, the sermon challenges us to consider if Jesus is still Lord when He doesn’t give us what we want, and whether His words alone are enough. True discipleship, like Peter’s confession, clings to Christ in trust—believing that He alone has the words of eternal life.
