There is a Scripture reading from Matthew 16:21-26 (4:47-7:40). Pinkney begins by thanking the congregation for their care for him and speaking about Matthew 16:24-25 (7:41-10:18). Pinkney speaks on losing one’s life to gain Christ (10:19-18:20). Pinkney speaks on the world leaning on its own understanding, celebrating worldly things, rather than sacrificing for Christ (18:21-22:59). Pinkney speaks on how one gains life by a denial of self-existence (23:00-30:48). The service ends in a moment of prayer (30:49-31:36).
