The Cross and the Crown

In Matthew 16, Jesus asks His disciples the most important question of all time: “Who do you say that I am?” Standing in the shadow of pagan temples, false gods, and the so-called “gates of hell,” Jesus reveals that true discipleship means more than admiration—it requires the cross. Pastor Adam takes us through this pivotal moment in Jesus’ ministry, showing how the suffering of the cross is inseparable from the glory of the crown. Discover why following Christ means losing your life to gain it, and how the crown of righteousness awaits those who endure.
