    If we want to see people come to Christ we need to be able to walk the talk. And that may mean SACRAFICIAL LIVING (no I didn’t saying GIVING!)

    I Thessalonians 2 :7-13 Story: In his book, The Life God Blesses, Gordon Macdonald describes his encounter with a black South African, a high-ranking member of the African National Congress.

    Costly Obedience

     | 16,175 views

    Abraham faced the greatest trial of his life when God asked him to sacrifice the child of promise. From it, we learn that God tests our faith, grows our faith, and models sacrifice as the Heavenly Father gives his only Son for us.

    Genesis 22:1-14 Costly Obedience Sometimes we go through such heavy trials in this life. And, if we’re honest, we may wonder, “God, why are you allowing this to happen to me? I’m trying to follow you best I can. Why, Lord?” Yet, perhaps the better question would be, “Lord, what do you want me to ...read more

    Equating the conditions of salvation with the conditions of discipleship is a sure path to confusion. This sermon explains Christ’s demands of costly commitment to be his disciple, experience his greatest blessings and be rewarded in heaven.

    Costly Discipleship Sermon 4 in the series, “Free Grace in Focus – A Biblical Answer to Lordship Salvation” Chuck Sligh / September 4, 2010 TEXT: John 8:31 – “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” INTRODUCTION Illus. – A ...read more

    As you think about what Jesus did for you on the cross, consider making a costly memorial, and start by giving Him yourself. Sure, people will criticize, but Jesus won’t. He’ll commend you before all your critics someday.

    In Great Britain, a butcher specified in his will that he be cremated and that at his memorial service the organ was to play Cole Porter’s song, “Every Time We Say Goodbye.” Well, he got half his wish. He was cremated, but the organist brought the wrong Cole Porter Sheet Music. Instead of playing, ...read more

    Mary's act of devotion was costly but it was worth the price because costly devotion gets recognized, it gets remembered and it gets rewarded.

    COSTLY DEVOTION John 12:1-11 1) Costly devotion is sacrificial (1-3). Weird word isn’t it-‘nard’. Doesn’t sound very expensive, does it? Sounds too close to lard. “Hey, honey, look what I bought for you; this perfume called Nard! I got you a whole pint of it!” ...read more

    Number 36 in an on-going sermon series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at true worship, and how true worship appears foolishly costly to the worldly minded, but to Christians there is no cost too high.

    Costly Worship (John Part 36) Text: John 12:1-8 Well it’s good to see you all this morning. I hope you are excited to be gathered with the Church.
