The Cost Of Discipleship

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 24, 2021

Jesus tells the disciples He will have to suffer and Peter rebukes HIm. Jesus tells them that unless they deny themselves & take their cross, they'll be rejected. The power of God only flows into a crucified life. Have you surrendered all yet?

THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP Mk. 8:31-38 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A teacher with obvious liberal tendencies told her class of small children that she was an atheist. She asked her class, “How many of you want to be atheists too?” Not knowing what atheism is, but wanting to be like their teacher, ...read more

Love’s Response To Hate

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He forgave us and all mankind for the sins that are sins of omission. These are sins we are not aware of and so we can never confess. Jesus forgave these along with all other sins.

One of the most diabolical criminals of his day, and the first big time American gangster, was also a very impressive pulpit orator.

Matthew The Tax Collector Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021
