You said yes to Jesus. But did you understand what you were saying yes to?

In the opening message of Say Yes, Pastor Stephan Kilgore teaches from Matthew 16 and the words of Jesus: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.

Jesus never hid the terms of discipleship in fine print. He made them clear.

Following Jesus is not simply adding Him to your life, praying a prayer, or asking Him to bless the plans you already made. Jesus is not only Savior. He is Lord. That means He has the authority to lead, correct, call, send, stop, and redirect every area of our lives.

In this message, you will learn:

• Why following Jesus requires more than simply believing in Him

• What it means to surrender ownership of your life to Jesus

• Why taking up your cross means putting your old life to death

• How to stop returning to the habits and identities Jesus already buried

• Why saying yes to Jesus ultimately leads to resurrection and new life

Scriptures referenced include:

Matthew 16:21-26

Romans 12:1

Romans 6:4-6

Romans 10

Matthew 7

The gospel is not self-improvement. Jesus does not renovate your old life. He calls it to the cross and gives you a new one.
