The Great Irony

Message Summary: Jesus died intentionally to recover our full humanity: to enable us to live our best life. The great irony is, that this starts with letting go of my whole life. We live in a culture of panic, afraid of missing out on the best life. In Mark, Jesus called the crowd together for a moment of clarity around this pursuit. We start moving toward our best life by understanding that we must say “no” to ourselves in order to be opened up to a bigger “yes”. We stop, reflect on our lives and make changes as Jesus directs. We let go of all that we’re grasping and find more of Jesus.

Series Summary: Who doesn’t want to live their BEST life? It’s a super popular hashtag — usually attached to a photo of us lying on a beach or hanging out with people we love. The trick is, how do we really know how to live our BEST life? More commonly, we live our #prettygoodlife. Maybe our whole culture is wrong about what our #bestlife actually is and how to go about getting it! Jesus said that is exactly what is happening — so let’s take a look at how he would have us live #mybestlife.
