Introduction
Getting into the gym and pumped up just to fall away after a few months

Point 1 - Deny Yourself
Unless you deny yourself you will never be able to see all the ways that God wants to love you.
The bible says we cannot serve two masters, so often we have become our own master
Social status
Athletic ability
School success
We have let these different things define us when God is calling us in a relationship with him and to deny these things for him and realize these are blessings from him
Love the giver more than the gift.
(Christmas presents)
When you deny yourself you will understand the deep love Christ has for you and truly begin to live a life for God.
Point 2 - Take Up Your Cross Daily
Taking up your cross daily is a a vital part of the Christian walk
It is sacrifice
Jesus carrying the cross to the place of his death
We are called to a life of constant sacrifice for Christ, but the benefits of following Christ outweigh the negatives
Jesus denied satan offering him the world because he was on earth for his fathers business
As a Christian we live for the things of eternity and not the worldly things
Are you sacrificing for Christ or caving into your sinful desires?
Taking up your cross daily results in living a life fully submitted to Christ
Point 3 - Follow Jesus
Whether we accept Christ or not eventually we will face eternity
Maybe today you have never made the decision to follow Christ
We decide to follow things of the world all the time:
Fashion trends
Friends
Influencers on social media
Today make the decision to follow something that really matters
God is calling us to live a life in which we deny ourselves, pick up our cross daily, and follow Christ.
