Matthew 16:24-25
Spiritually Driven

This week's message, "Spiritually Driven" (Matthew 16:24–25), challenges us to move beyond a self-focused faith and fully surrender to Christ each day. This message highlights the tension between our own desires and the leading of the Holy Spirit, reminding us that true discipleship means denying ourselves, laying down personal ambition, and actively choosing Jesus in every part of life—not just on Sundays. As believers, we are made new and guided by the Spirit, but we will still wrestle with what we want versus what God wants. Following Jesus requires ongoing commitment, humility, and a willingness to carry our cross, recognizing that a life centered on Him cannot also be centered on ourselves.
