    Counting The Cost

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 19, 2022
     | 2,501 views

    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

    Counting The Cost Series

    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

    A salesman was telling some folks he got a job as a salesman.

    They provided him with a kit where he could go into people’s homes with products and show them some of the products this company sold. Basically this is what the Lord Jesus has done. He has given us the gospel of Christ to take into the homes of people and show them what the Lord can do for them ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of Counting The Cost) # 5

     | 2,508 views

    Sometimes we hear folks in the church say, “What happened to ( ) who used to attend Church here?”

    Sometimes when this question is being asked, it is being implied that perhaps something is wrong with the church. Listen, there are some folks who left churches and I believe they were justified in doing so. But there are times when people will ask, “What happened to ( ),” and it has ...read more

    April 16, 2022 Have you ever asked this question, “How much is this going to cost?” Before buying a car…. Before investing in that cruise…. Before getting those Solar Panels…. Most of us don’t like to be surprised by the bottom line. We want to know UP FRONT how much that big purchase is ...read more

    Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?

    “Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?” In other words, will other Christians pay the price while we are secret disciples? Will others witness while we keep silent? Will others work in the church while we just obtain the benefits?

    SHALL YOUR BROTHERS GO TO WAR WHILE YOU SIT HERE? Numbers 32:1-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man & woman were married for many years.

    If you let God lead, He will take you on a wonderful journey ... but, if you don’t start somewhere, how can you ever make an impact? Jesus challenged those following Him to be fully committed ... so are we?

    What being a disciple REALLY means (Luke, Part 7) Luke 14:25-35 Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for believers to explore -- We see Luke’s interest in humanity (it’s genuine, rem: career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how Jesus interacts with ...read more

    A few weeks ago I did a play on words sermon titled Cross-Contamination. Today, I'm doing the same thing with the term, cross-examination. I'm using the term from the perspective of examining things through a spiritual lens. It's time for cross-examination.

    While it is natural to be a taker, God’s man is a giver. He understands that God is a generous giver who gave the ultimate sacrifice for all men.

    Well, gentlemen, we are in the second of the nine attributes of a man. This week we’re looking at willing to sacrifice. And what it means to be willing to sacrifice in our life. Here’s just a couple of key verses that I think it’s crucial for us to key in on in regards to this. Because I believe ...read more

    Many Christians believe that they are disciples of Jesus when, in fact, they are not. In this message, we see that there is a cost to being a disciple of Jesus and it’s a decision that we must make.

    Good morning. I pray that this Sunday morning finds you in good health and looking forward to this morning’s message. Let’s open with a word of prayer. I have a title on my bookshelf that is going to be pulled and read this year. The Cost of Discipleship, written in 1937 by Lutheran pastor and ...read more

    Selling Out To God Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,405 views

    Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

    Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

    The Cost Of True Discipleship. Is It Worth It? Do We Want It?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 4, 2016

     | 10,361 views

    We all know the cost of discipleship is high, but what is discipleship, and more importantly, do we, as a Christians have a choice but to be disciples? True discipleship is to embrace it, to enjoy it, and live for it because we want to.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 5th September 2010; St Oswald’s is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are: Jeremiah 18:1-11 Psalm 139:1-5, 12-17 Philemon 1-21 Luke ...read more

    Intro If church size is more important than faithfulness to Jesus, then here are 5 ways to build a mega church. 1) Promise that obedience to Jesus will improve your worldly stature. 2) Promise that people will not have to carry their own cross, because Jesus did. 3) Tell them not to use their ...read more
