Is Jesus Really Worth It? - Matthew S7E3

Is Jesus Really Worth It? - Matthew S7E3

October 12, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

What does it really mean to surrender your life to Jesus, and is following Him worth the cost?

As we continue through Matthew 27, Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Ryan Britt and Pastor Jonathan Vinke unpack the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, examining the choices of Pilate, Peter and Judas. Each faced a defining moment, reminding us that knowing about Jesus is not the same as surrendering to Him.

Through Peter's denial and restoration, we see that failure does not have to be final. Through Pilate's fear of losing control, we are challenged to consider what we are willing to surrender to follow Christ. And through the cross, we are reminded that Jesus took our place so that we could experience true freedom and eternal life.

The question remains: What will you do with the One called Christ?
