Episode description
What does it mean to follow Jesus as He truly is—not as we shape Him to fit our plans? Minister Alex Ehly explores Matthew 16:13-26 in this message, where Peter confesses Jesus as the Messiah but wrestles with surrendering fully to God's plan. Using a 3D printer as a metaphor, we examine how we can fall into the trap of "sculpting" a Savior that aligns with our preferences instead of surrendering to the real Jesus.
Jesus’ call to “deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me” challenges us to recalibrate our spiritual lives daily. Are you surrendering to Christ or shaping a version of Him that surrenders to you?
