Trusting Yourself vs. Trusting God

“Trusting Yourself v. Trusting God”
Mark 14:26–31

In Mark 14:26–31, Jesus tells His disciples that they will soon fall away, and Peter boldly insists that he will remain faithful—even if everyone else fails. Yet Jesus reveals that Peter will deny Him three times before the rooster crows. This moment exposes the tension between relying on our own strength and truly trusting God. Self-confidence can feel strong, but it often collapses under pressure. Trusting God, however, anchors us beyond our limitations.

This passage challenges us to recognize the places where we may be depending on ourselves instead of leaning on God’s wisdom, strength, and grace.

Join guest speaker Steve Krul as he invites us to examine the foundations of our faith and discover the freedom that comes when we shift from self-reliance to wholehearted trust in God.
