A Sermon On Soul Care - How's Your Soul - Joey McLaughlin

Elevate City Church

We are lonely, exhausted, hurried, rushed, frantic, stressed, anxious, sad, overworked, feeling under rewarded an empty soul.

The prescription from society is to treat yourself. How's that working for you?

Will getting all of this stuff actually take care of the emptiness that you feel on the inside?

It doesn't matter how good the books are, or the music is... Jesus gives this iconic teaching on discipleship in the soul -- if anyone would come after me and deny himself, take his cross and follow me, He will gain His life. For whoever would save his life, that man will lose it.

"21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord!This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul."

Matthew 16:21-26
