GOING DEEPER IN THE WORD TOGETHER
Read: Luke 9:21–27
This is Jesus speaking to His followers about what it means to truly follow Him.
In verse 23, Jesus says to “deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow me.” What does “deny yourself” mean in practical terms?
What does your cross look like right now? (Think less about suffering in general, and more about what you’re being asked to lay down or carry.)
Why do you think Jesus connects losing our lives to truly saving them (v.24)? How does this challenge the way most people view success or fulfillment?
Jesus says to take up your cross daily. What does the “daily” part tell you about the nature of following Jesus?
How do you typically try to compartmentalize faith instead of living it daily?
What does it mean to “follow” Jesus in real, everyday terms? How is following Him different from just believing in Him?
What makes self-denial hard for you personally? Is it comfort, control, approval, success—or something else?
APPLYING SCRIPTURE TO YOUR LIFE
What’s one specific way you can practice dying to self this week for the sake of God’s mission?
