What if the cross wasn’t the end… but the beginning?

Pastor DawnCheré Wilkerson brings this Good Friday message and walks us through the powerful reality of the cross, not as a symbol of defeat, but as the defining mark of our identity as followers of Jesus.

In a world that avoids sacrifice and chases comfort, Jesus invites us into something deeper:
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24)

But what does that really mean?

Through scripture and reflection, we’re confronted with the question that changes everything:
Who do you say Jesus is?

Because how you answer that question will determine how you follow Him.

The truth is simple, but it will cost you everything:
To follow Jesus is to deny yourself, take up your cross, and trust Him - Come what may.

And yet, in losing your life, you find it.
