A New Thing | Pastor Jujie Rodriguez - Part II

Lead Pastor Jujie continues our January sermon series, ‘A New Thing,’ at The Great I Am with a powerful message centered on Mark 8:34–35 (NLT). This teaching explores the true cost and reward of following Christ, challenging us to evaluate our level of surrender as we step into this new season. To experience the "new thing" God has for us, we must be willing to take up our cross and align our lives with His divine standards. Preparing yourself for a new thing requires: What is your cross? This is a call to identify the specific areas of sacrifice and surrender in your life. Taking up your cross is a daily, intentional decision to put aside your own desires to follow Jesus. God's way comes with God's standards. We cannot walk in the "new thing" while holding onto our own rules. Stepping into God's promises requires an alignment with His holiness, His Word, and His expectations for our lives. You can't choose the suffering – but you choose the why. While we may not always control the trials or the "cross" we must carry, we do choose the purpose behind it. We suffer for the sake of the Gospel, knowing that our endurance has eternal significance. Lose your life, Gain Everything. True life is found only when we let go of our self-centered ambitions. By "losing" our life for Christ’s sake, we open the door to receive the fullness of everything He has prepared for us in this new season.
