Jesus is Better

Mar 29, 2026    Chad Word

This Palm Sunday sermon explores Jesus's teaching about discipleship and the cost of following Him as He approaches His crucifixion. Pastor Chad emphasizes that true life is found only in losing our lives for Christ's sake and the gospel. Using Peter's confession and subsequent rebuke as a framework, the message challenges believers not to merely go through the motions of Easter traditions but to genuinely examine what they're holding onto that competes with Jesus for their devotion. The Western Christian tendency to prioritize comfort, success, and material possessions over wholehearted devotion to Christ, ultimately declaring that "Jesus is better" than anything this world offers.
