    Grace is free, but discipleship costs. Are we prepared to pay?

    We see adverts all over the place, promising low prices and amazing deals on all sorts of things and products. But on closer examination many of these so-called bargains are to so cheap after all because there are all sorts of hidden extras that have to be paid for. Often the quoted price is a lot ...read more

    While all believers are called to discipleship, Jesus shows that many are not willing to pay the price.

    ILLUSTRATION: Discipleship Two longstanding church members were in a boat fishing with a new Christian. Passing the time, each was talking about his fervent faith and devotion to God. As they were discussing their faith, one’s hat blew into the water. So he stood up, calmly stepped onto the ...read more

    I relied heavily on SermonCentral contributor Larry Sarver's sermon "Defining Discipleship" for this lesson. I addressed the topic of Growing Deeper through Discipleship in two sermons.

    A. The story is told of a pig and a chicken who were walking down the road one day. 1. As they passed a church, they notice that a potluck charity breakfast was under way. 2. Caught up in the spirit, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution. 3. “Great Idea!” ...read more

    The Price Of Discipleship

    We often preach on salvation given so freely, but do we take the time to look at the price we have to pay to be a disciple?

    The Price of Discipleship Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem, a journey that he knew would end with him being crucified, and yet many of those following him thought he was on his way to establish his Kingdom in the capital city. Sometimes I wonder if Jesus ever wanted to say: “What ...read more

    The Stream of God’s Promises. Our Heavenly Father has many wonderful Promises for each of us, His children. I want us to consider our promises to God as His children, as His disciples.

    Our Promise as Disciples It is at the Cross of Christ where we discover the way to our Eternal home.

    There are times in our spiritual lives when we want all the blessings of heaven, but with the least amount of sacrifice possible. There are times when we live our Christian lives in such a way that we seem to be saying, “What is the least amount that I ha

    The analysis of following Jesus in Luke 14:25-35 shows us what is involved in following Jesus.

    Scripture On his journey to Jerusalem from Galilee, Jesus often engaged in controversy with the Jewish leadership, most often the Pharisees (cf. Luke 11:37-54; 13:31-14:24). But now in Luke 14:25, Jesus returns to address the crowds. In doing so, he clarified what is involved in following him. ...read more

    Jesus does not promise us material wealth if we follow him, but he promises us a wealth beyond anything we can dream of in terms of material goods. His wealth is the wealth of the Holy Spirit and the wealth of heaven. God and Christ are willing to share.

    While salvation is a free gift, there is a cost in following Jesus.

    For over a year now we've been studying the Scriptures and looking at the 'basics' of Christianity. We went through 1 John asking the question 'Is It Real' and measuring ourselves up against the tests found throughout that book designed for the purpose of judging whether or not our faith in Christ ...read more

    We are called to be disciples of Christ and disciple-makers for Christ. Jesus challenges us to consider the cost commitment of discipleship, and not be distracted by the comfort and convenience this world offers.

    Being the first Sunday of the year, I want to take some time to revisit our ES mission – to grow as disciples of Christ and be disciple-makers for Christ. Why are we doing what we are doing? Why is this important? Can we do something else, or can we not do this at all? • We are ...read more

    The things that the Lord requires of His servants: to become disciples

    Discipleship III Text: Lk. 14: 27 & 33 Introduction:: The Bible teaches us that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

    Many initially are willing to follow the Lord, but fail to count the cost. Upon realizing the great sacrifice necessary to follow Him, many are unwilling to pay the price. We must count the cost and be willing to pay the price in service to the Lord.

    The Cost of Discipleship Luke 14: 25-33 I am certainly thankful for the free gift of salvation. Christ paid our sin debt, reconciling us to God in salvation. This gift is freely available to all who receive it by faith. Salvation is free, but our service to the Lord is costly. If we are unwilling ...read more
