This Will Cost You | Luke 9

Passion City Church DC Podcast

Show Notes

What does it actually cost to follow Jesus, and what does He ask of those who claim to? How do we move past treating Him as just a fascinating spiritual figure and instead build a life fully surrendered to Him? And what does it look like to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him every single day?

In this message, Jacob Harkey teaches from Luke 9, where Jesus turns to His disciples in the middle of His most popular moment and asks the question that still confronts us today: “Who do you say that I am?” Peter’s answer changes everything because what you believe about Jesus determines how you respond to Him.

Whether you’re wrestling with who Jesus really is or what it means to actually follow Him rather than just admire Him from a distance, Luke 9 offers a clear and costly vision: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Him.
