The Paradoxical Joy of Self-Denial #1: An Overview Pastor Gary's Audio Notebooks

Human beings are not made to live for themselves. We are not designed to be the center of our own attention. We are designed to center our attention on God and others. We are designed to love God with our whole being and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Loving God and others is not ultimately about what we feel but rather how we live. But, alas, we are not the people we were designed to be. We have been broken, and so loving God and others does not come naturally to us. God saves us by pure grace. But he saves us for this life of love, and he gives us the disciplines of faithfulness to help us grow into the loving people we are meant to be. In this sermon, we’ll get an overview of these disciplines of God’s transformation in our lives.

Read Mark 8:27-34
