    This first week of this “Having Words” series is a great time to remind ourselves of the commitment that we made to make and to be made into disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

    Counting the Cost Having Words with Jesus THIRTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR C Luke 14:25-33 The Message Figure the Cost 25-27 One day, when large groups of people were walking along with him, Jesus turned and told them, “Anyone who comes to me but refuses to let go of father, mother, spouse, ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 25, 2022
     | 965 views

    Where is the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ today? What is the cost of preaching that message?

    Where is that message today? This is a two-fold message. First, the call to preach the Gospel. Second, the cost of preaching the Gospel. Since Jesus started His earthly ministry, He has called various people to follow Him, and then told them to go out into all the world and preach the ...read more

    The final message in the series, calling us to make a decision to follow Jesus. Based on the book from Kyle Idelman, Not A Fan.

    Fan or Follower! February 12, 2023 In January of this year, Time Magazine ran a series of articles under the heading THE HAPPINESS REVIVAL GUIDE.

    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

    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

    Decide FIRST if you are willing to pay the price of discipleship BEFORE following Jesus

    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. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, “When I die, I will dig my way up & out of the ...read more

    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

    Jesus gets the people's attention by exaggerating his statements.

    Personal Illustration: I had to have a tooth removed last Thursday. It took me FOREVER to get an appointment. Once I got there and got back in the room where they were going to extract my tooth I felt like I was in an operating room not a dentist office. I remember back in the ‘80’s when I got ...read more

    Billy Graham used to say: "Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you everything." That is an accurate expression of the teachings of Jesus on the cost of discipleship. In this sermon, we explore what it means to pay the cost of discipleship.

    A. I like the old classic joke about the chicken and the pig who were talking about going into business. 1. The chicken says: “Hey Pig, we should open a restaurant.” The pig replies: “I’m not sure, what would we call it?” 2. The chicken answers: “What if we called it ‘Ham and Eggs’?” The pig ...read more

    The problems and issues that people had with Jesus in the first century are the same problems and issues we have today. Jesus is simply out of step with the times.
