This sermon teaches that true discipleship requires three fundamental habits: self-denial, which involves not demanding what one is owed; a deliberate rejection of worldly wisdom in favor of Christ's teachings; and the willingness to die to oneself, mirroring Jesus' sacrifice, as the only path to finding true and eternal life.

This sermon argues that the church's greatness comes from believers actively making disciples, a mission often hindered by fear. Using the example of the early church, the message encourages believers to confront their fears and pray for boldness to share the gospel, trusting that the Holy Spirit will provide the power and produce the fruit.

This sermon encourages parents to abandon worldly goals and instead focus on raising children who love and obey Jesus. It teaches that this is achieved through a gospel-centered method of parenting—shepherding the child's heart, not just correcting behavior—and by parents themselves modeling a secure identity as a child of God.

This sermon argues that effectively sharing the gospel requires three "batteries": a gospel burden, a gospel identity, and a gospel circle. The message emphasizes that by understanding our true identity in Christ's righteousness, we can be freed from shame to actively and lovingly share the precious gospel message with those in our lives who need to hear it.

This sermon celebrates Resonate's nine-year anniversary by presenting seven prayers for its future, focusing on the importance of glorifying God, prioritizing mercy over judgment, and making obedience a joyful desire rather than a burdensome chore. It ultimately argues that a true relationship with God is not about obtaining external blessings but about finding ultimate satisfaction and purpose in Jesus himself, which in turn leads to a life of authentic worship and good works.

This sermon argues that serving Jesus is a radical commitment to His mission, not an attempt to use His power for personal gain or to balance faith with other earthly priorities. It emphasizes that true service is a joyful response to God's grace, rooted in the identity of being saved, rather than a means of earning His favor.

This sermon challenges a "second generation" mindset of comfort and complacency, urging the congregation to embrace a "first generation" mindset of sacrifice and radical commitment to a new ten-year vision for the church. It uses Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem to illustrate that true discipleship involves following an unexpected king, dying to oneself, and embracing sacrifice as the path to glorification and eternal fruitfulness.
