📖 Sermon Take-Home Notes

🔹 Questions Jesus Asked: What Do You Live For?
Rev. David Hockett | Davidson UMC

Key Scripture: Mark 8:36

"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?"

Main Takeaways:

🔹 What Do You Live For?

Jesus’ question challenges us to examine our priorities and what truly shapes our lives.

Are we living for temporary success, comfort, or control? Or for the life God intends for us?

🔹 The Cross Defines Our Purpose

Taking up the cross isn’t about hardship—it’s about embracing Christ’s way of love, grace, and self-giving.

True life is found not in serving ourselves but in surrendering to God’s purpose.

🔹 Letting Go to Receive More

What are we holding onto that keeps us from fully following Jesus?

To experience the life God desires for us, we must let go of what is false and embrace what is true.

🔹 A Life That Matters Requires Action

Faith isn’t just belief—it’s about transformation.

Following Jesus means aligning our actions with His call:
✅ Worship weekly
✅ Pray daily
✅ Read and experience Scripture
✅ Connect with others in faith
✅ Serve in the church and community
✅ Give generously and joyfully
