Listen "The Cross in Relationship to Christ: A Call to Private Commitment and Public Surrender"
Episode Synopsis
What does it truly mean to carry your cross? In this powerful message, Pastor Lee Shaw unpacks the difference between Christ’s cross and ours. Drawing deeply from Mark 14, John 19, Matthew 16, and more, Lee reminds believers that before any public display of faith, there must be a private cry of surrender. The Christian life isn’t about comparison, comfort, or cultural convenience—it’s about death to self, daily sacrifice, and total dependence on the Holy Spirit.This is not a message of easy Christianity. It's a wake-up call to those who desire to truly follow Jesus, to count the cost, and to reflect the cross not with pride or pity, but with authentic Christlikeness.#TheCross #ChristianLiving #FaithOverComfort #DenyYourself #TakeUpYourCross #LeeShaw #ChristianDiscipleship #BiblicalTruth #GospelOfTheCross #JesusFirst #Mark14 #John19 #Matthew16 #ChurchChallenge #TrueDiscipleshipChapters00:00 The Importance of Private Commitment14:53 Understanding the Public Cross20:58 The Cross and the Christian Life23:03 The Call to Follow Jesus27:02 The Cost of Discipleship29:57 The True Gospel vs. Convenience34:05 Self-Denial and Commitment40:06 Taking Up the Cross45:08 Living in the Way of Jesus
