Following Jesus When It Costs You Everything | Take Up Your Cross (Mark

What do you do when you realize your script for life with Jesus isn’t the one He’s actually living? In this message from the series “The Jesus-Shaped God,” Pastor Derek Heilmann preaches from Mark 8:27–38 about what it really means to follow Jesus when it costs you everything. Peter gets the answer right — “You are the Messiah” — but his story about what “Messiah” means is completely wrong. Jesus then explains that the Son of Man must suffer, be rejected, and be killed, and calls every would-be disciple to the same path: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” — Mark 8:34 This sermon explores: How all of us carry a script for marriage, parenting, career… and even following Jesus Why Peter can go from “You are the Messiah” to “Get behind me, Satan” in a few verses The difference between a Messiah who fits my plan and the real crucified Messiah How we try to use Jesus to bless the life we already planned instead of letting Him rewrite the story The fear beneath our resistance: What if obedience ruins my plan? Costs me opportunities? Makes me look weird? Why “take up your cross” is not advanced discipleship but Christianity 101 How pretending to be more surrendered than we are leads to shame and fraud-feelings The invitation to radical honesty with Jesus: “I don’t want this… but I want to want it.” If you’ve ever thought, “I should be further along by now,” or felt like Jesus is ruining your plan instead of endorsing it, this message will help you see that His call is not to polish your life, but to come and die so He can give you real life. 🕊️ Series: The Jesus-Shaped God 📖 Text: Mark 8:27–38 (with 9:1)
