In this sobering message, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims the uncompromising Truth of God’s Word: salvation is by grace alone through faith alone—but discipleship demands surrender. From Matthew 8 and Luke 9, Jesus, the divine Son of Man, confronts those who claim to follow Him yet cling to comfort, wealth, or divided loyalty. Scripture is clear and inerrant—no one can serve Christ on his own terms. The call to “take up your cross” means repentance, obedience, and daily identification with His suffering. Many admire Jesus, but few submit to His Lordship. This message calls believers to examine their hearts, intercede for the lost, and place everything in the hands of the Savior who alone is worthy.
