How the Cross Forms Us | Rev. Andrew Chappell

About this episode

Rev. Andrew Chappell discusses the transformative power of the cross in the life of a disciple.

Matthew 16:24 (NIV) Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Ephesians 5:2 (CEB) Live your life with love, following the example of Christ, who loved us and gave himself for us. He was a sacrificial offering that smelled sweet to God. Galatians 2:20 (CEB) I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.
