Lose Your Life to Christ and His Cross
From this crucial text in the gospel of Mark, Pastor Brian Curtis asks us: 1. What does it mean to lose your life to Jesus' cross? and 2. Why is it worth the sacrifice to do so? Listen to the words of our Lord as he calls to deny our selves, take up our cross, and follow him. Listen as Christ calls us to lose our lives.

So Stupid
We look at the disciples' example again, and how easy it is to be selfish. But Jesus says to look at Him, as He is an example of giving His life away to serve others.

Expect Good Things from God
You could boil this passage down with this statement: bank your prayer life on God’s love for you. It seems that Jesus wants to encourage his disciples to keep praying, but he is not just calling them to be persistent; the call is different. Perseverance in prayer is certainly a part of the equation but it is not the end-game here. Jesus’ goal is to call his disciples to pray from a robust understanding of God’s love for them. The critical phrase for this passage is found in verse 11: “how much more.” Jesus wants for his followers to pray with the “how-much-moreness” of God in mind. He aims to motivate pray by God-centered encouragement.
