In this message from the Backwards Kingdom series, we explore one of the most challenging teachings of Jesus from Gospel of Matthew 16:24–28: “Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” The kingdom of God often works the opposite of what the world expects. The world tells us to chase success, protect ourselves, and build our own lives. But Jesus calls us to something radically different—deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. In this message, we look at what it truly means to lose your life in order to gain real life in Christ.
