Devoted.

What does true devotion to Christ really look like?

In this message, Pastor Sam calls us to examine our allegiance and reminds us that devotion to Jesus is never divided. Drawing from Matthew 6:24, we’re confronted with the truth that we cannot serve two masters—our hearts must cling wholly to Christ while rejecting anything that competes for our attention.

Together, we explore three things every follower of Jesus must intentionally reject:

1. Easy – Jesus makes it clear that following Him is not the wide, comfortable road, but the narrow way that requires surrender (Matthew 19:20–23).

2. The Rearview Mirror (the idol of yesterday) – While we can honour the past and build upon it, we must not worship it or become trapped by it. Looking back can keep us from stepping fully into what God is doing now (Luke 17:28–33).

3. Our Old Identity – In Christ, we are made brand new. The labels and identities that once defined us no longer have authority over us. Jesus promises a new name to those who overcome—a name that speaks of intimacy, belonging, and friendship with Him (Revelation 2:17).

This sermon is a call to renewed devotion, wholehearted surrender, and a deeper commitment to follow Jesus alone.
