    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

    How can we hate our parents, partners and children? It has to be the most offensive exhortation Jesus ever gave - telling us that we have to hate the ones we love th most...

    As soon as I noticed that our Gospel reading today was the one that begins by telling us that we’ve got to ’hate our mothers and fathers’, I decided then and there to give my sermon today on Paul’s Letter to Philemon! No, as much as I’d like to do that, I feel I have to stick with "hate your ...read more

    We examine two parables that deal with discipleship and specifically the carefully weighing the cost of following Jesus. No matter where you are spiritually, Jesus calls us to seriously consider discipleship.

    The Parables of Jesus The Tower Builder and the Warring King Luke 14:28-32 July 26, 2009 This week we are going to turn to two parables that are about discipleship.

    Once we have received Christ as our Lord and Savior, everything changes! Not only are we washed clean, but have a true Calling to serve Him! Here we examine what Christ has asked us to take into account before jumping right into this calling.

    The Cost: Have You Counted it? Luke 14:26-33 I want to thank Jordan for getting us started on series of messages every believer should take into consideration. A few weeks ago we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus, but as we learned last week, this event of salvation is truly just the starting ...read more

    Christianity isn’t a place where people can laze around until the day they die and then slink into heaven. We’re either serious now or we aren’t serious at all.

    The cost of discipleship Luke 14:25-35 God was talking with Adam and He said, “You really need a helper, don’t you?” And Adam answered, “Yeah, I really do.” So God said, “What if I make a woman? She’ll be perfect for you. She’ll be beautiful. She’ll rub your back ...read more

    These are some of the more difficult saying for believers to grasp let alone the unbeliever.

    The difficult sayings of Jesus John 6:60-71 This is an unusual chapter in John’s book. It’s one of the longest in the N.T. and I think that’s because those who determined where the chapter divisions would be took into account that everything here is connected to one main ...read more

    Too often we try to make Jesus fit our own desires. Instead of the real Jesus we want one that fits into our life neatly. That's a plastic Jesus.

    Jesus calls his followers to deny themselves and carry the cross. What does this look like? What does it mean to deny ourselves in a culture and society based on consumerism?

    Luke 14:25-33 “Carrying the Cross” INTRODUCTION Have you noticed that we appear to be buried under an avalanche of forms? When Faye had her shoulder surgery done this spring she sign enough forms to have killed two or perhaps three large trees. The paper work involved in ...read more
