THE WAY 6 – CHOOSE SELF-DENIAL & OBEDIENCE, 5-17-26, Lead Pastor Jeff Aenk, New Hope Christian Church
Key Verse - John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - Jesus
JESUS WAY, IS TO CHOOSE SELF-DENIAL FROM PERSONAL WILL/DESIRE, & OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WILL.
John 14:31a - but he (the prince of the world – satan) comes so that the world may learn that I (Jesus) love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me…..
Luke 22:42 - “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
John 8:28-29 - 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man (on the Cross), then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”
Luke 9:23-26 - 23 Then he (Jesus) said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
John 14:15 - “If you love me, keep my commands.
Acts 5:29 - Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!
