Self-Denial and the Cross
Sermon Overview:
When we give of ourselves and empty ourselves in self denial, we make room for God to pour Himself into us. It allows us to receive greater blessings from Him. This is what Jesus meant when He said that “Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
