Stonebriar Men’s Retreat ‘17 - Session Three - Self-denying Discipleship

Summary

The sermon, referencing Luke 9, emphasizes that true discipleship requires self-denial, daily cross-bearing, and losing one's life for Christ, contrasting this with modern "expressive individualism" which prioritizes self-discovery and expression above all else. The practical takeaway is to reject the world's narrative of pursuing personal happiness and instead embrace Jesus' call to selflessness, even if it means being ashamed of Him and His words in this life.
