Mark 8:27-38, 9:1 – Who Do You Say I Am?

At a turning point in Mark’s Gospel, Jesus asks the most important question anyone will ever face: “Who do you say I am?”

In this powerful message from Mark 8, we explore how recognising Jesus as the Messiah is only the beginning. True discipleship means embracing both the cross and the crown, surrendering our lives, denying ourselves, and following Him wholeheartedly.

This message challenges the idea of comfortable Christianity and calls us to a deeper, more costly faith, one that trusts Jesus not just for salvation, but in every area of life. As we wrestle with identity, purpose, and sacrifice, we discover that losing our lives for Christ is actually the way to find true, lasting life.

If you’re searching for clarity about who Jesus is and what it really means to follow Him, this message will both challenge and encourage you.
