    Sermon Text: Luke 14:25-33 Count The Cost! Dog owners often post signs on their property saying, “Beware of dog.” A friend of mine had one of those signs on his fence.

    The life that Counts John 15:7-11 Introduction Native hunters in the jungles of Africa have a clever way of trapping monkeys. They slice a coconut in two, hollow it out, and in one half of the shell cut a hole just big enough for a monkey’s hand to pass through. Then they place an orange in ...read more

    The response to disruptive people demonstrates the Christian's maturity. Paul counsels the expression of the character that marks all who are mature in Christ.

    “In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.

    One of the things that we are impressed by today, is numbers.

    When we drive down the highway and see a lot of cars in the parking lot of a restaurant, we assume that it is a great place to eat. Many of us would admit that we have eaten at places where the parking lot was filled with cars, but we were not impressed with the food or the service. We make that ...read more

    To emphasize the importance of understanding and being willing to pay the full cost of completely surrendering to and following Jesus.

    Good morning, church. Today, we are going to delve deep into the question, "Are you willing to pay the price?" This involves not just being a follower of Jesus, but rather selling out to Him completely. As we navigate through this topic, I am reminded of a profound quote by Ian Thomas, a respected ...read more

    Jesus said that if we are thinking about following Him, then we should first add up the cost. If we have not considered the task ahead of time, then we may give up; and when this happens, it is a bad testimony to the world.

    This evening’s message is entitled, “Counting the Cost,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that is sometimes called, “The Cost of Discipleship.” When Jesus spoke about the cost of discipleship He incorporated two parables to illustrate His point. One parable speaks of a tower builder and ...read more
