Jeremy Utley - I MUST Decrease for Christ to Increase
Summary
Jeremy Utley teaches that for Christ to truly increase in our lives, we must decrease—denying our self-will, self-interest, and self-awareness in a daily, costly commitment to discipleship. Drawing from John 3:30 and 2 Corinthians 4:10, he emphasizes that bearing Christ's dying (saying no to our own initiative and will) is the prerequisite for manifesting Christ's life, and that this requires constant vigilance and passion to become nothing so that Jesus becomes everything.

Jeremy Utley - The Christian Must Live on Every Single One of God's Words
Jeremy Utley · Nov 18, 2024
Jeremy Utley teaches that exemplary Christians must pursue continuous, lifetime transfer of ownership of every aspect of their lives to God, never becoming satisfied with their current spiritual state. Drawing from 2 Thessalonians 1, he emphasizes that maturity means constantly yielding more areas to God's control and responding to His call to grow higher, modeling Jesus Christ who perfectly exemplified complete submission to the Father in all thoughts, words, and deeds.
