Overcoming the Temptation to Save Yourself

Apr 23, 2026    Pastor Rob Goyette

In this radio clip, Pastor Rob explores the spiritual challenge of self-preservation versus self-denial as outlined in Luke 9:23-24. Innate human desire to preserve oneself can hinder spiritual growth and impact others. Jesus, who, understanding His divine mission, chose self-denial over self-defense, as seen when He instructed Peter to sheath his sword. This message encourages Us to prioritize God's will over personal ambitions, demonstrating a faith that relies not on human strength but on leaning on Jesus.
