What does Jesus actually require of a disciple?

In Matthew 16:24–28, Jesus defines real Christianity in unmistakable terms:

• Deny yourself

• Take up your cross

• Follow Me

This is not cultural Christianity.

This is not comfort-based faith.

This is surrender, obedience, and allegiance to Jesus Christ as Lord.

In this Scripture-centered Bible study, Kingdom Brotherhood walks verse-by-verse through one of the most confronting passages in the New Testament. Jesus dismantles self-preservation, exposes false security, and calls men into courageous, costly discipleship.

In this episode, we cover:

• What biblical self-denial really means (not self-hatred, but surrender of self-rule)

• Why the cross comes before the crown

• The paradox of saving your life vs losing it

• Gaining the world vs losing your soul

• The reality of judgment and Christ’s return

• Why obedience matters in everyday Christian life

Kingdom Brotherhood exists for Christian men who want a reverent, Scripture-centered return to obedience under the lordship of Jesus Christ — without hype, performance, or emotional manipulation.

This Bible study is designed for men seeking:
