Mar 1, 2026  •  Pastor Kevin Diamond

Sunday, March 1, 2026 · Rock Harbor Church

Sermon Series: A Foretold Love

Title: The Cross Chosen

Preacher · Pastor Kevin Diamond

Key Scriptures: Mark 8:31–38


Pastor Kevin Diamond begins our A Foretold Love series with The Cross Chosen from Mark 8:31–38 (NIV). In this message, we see that the cross was not a detour but the destination, and that Jesus chose it on purpose and for a purpose. We’ll walk through why the cross was necessary, why Peter’s resistance exposes the pull to protect ourselves and avoid cost, and how Jesus’ call to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him is not a moment but a lifetime of discipleship. As you worship with us and come to the Lord’s Table, let this word steady your soul and bring you to a simple, eternal question: will you follow Jesus with your whole life?


Come ready to let God search your heart, receive fresh compassion, and take a real next step of sent love this week.
