Matthew
Chapter 16

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
25
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

The way to life and joy is the throughdenial.
1 Jesus tells us to deny ourselves, knowing we can never satisfy ourselves
4 FOUNDATIONAL DESIRES
- POWER - desire to be respected, followed, recognized
- CONTROL - desire to have everything according to our plan
- COMFORT - desire for pleasure
- APPROVED - desire to be accepted
2 Jesus tell us to follow him to find everything we need
- Following our hearts leads to death; following Jesus leads to life and abundance
Galatians 2:20
DENY YOURSELF. YOU GET IT ALL WITH JESUS!
