Suffering - Mark 8:31–38

 • Series: The Way to Victory

Put our faith into action: As we march towards Resurrection Sunday, how will 2023 be different than any other year? Are you willing to do something different? How will we show others the path of victory? 1. Rehearse the gospel every day. Preaching the Gospel to Yourself. It helped remind me that if it weren’t for the grace of God, my sins would consume me. I am a wretched sinner, but Christ is a glorious Savior. The gospel keeps me humble and hungry to keep growing. 2. Seek to have a gospel conversation every day. When we rehearse the gospel daily, we’ll also want to share it with others. Make it a point to pray that God would give you an opportunity to share Christ every day. Here’s an idea: pick up a copy of Anchor for the Soul, read it and give it to someone this week. 3. Don’t let your feelings run your train. Too many of us are led by our feelings and not by facts or our faith. I read a simple illustration and it bears repeating. Think of a train where the engine is FACT, the coal car is FAITH, and the caboose is our FEELINGS. We get in all sorts of trouble when our feelings run our life. 4. Live a gospel-centered, self-effacing, God-glorifying life. It’s not about you, no matter what a book may tell you. Let me share a secret with you: The secret is not inside yourself! Seek the Savior with all you have. Live for His pleasure alone as you gather, grow, give, and go.
