    When we embrace a relationship with Jesus, we end up calculating the cost of following Him. I use a current political story to show not everything is as we think it is.

    Calculate the Cost Luke 14:25-33 February 3, 2019 I’m going to start out being a little political. Most of you will recall that there was an incident in Washington DC, in which some students from a Catholic school were chastised, and that’s being gentle for how they treated a Native American who ...read more

    Jesus did not sugarcoat it when He was pointing out that following Him would not be a bed of roses! Being a disciple could not be and cannot be taken lightly because being a disciple is to be totally committed!

    COUNTING THE COST Text: Luke 9:57 -62 Luke 9:57  As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58  And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his ...read more

    Jesus did not present a rosy, unrealistic picture of the Christian life. In Luke 9 we encounter 3 potential recruits. Jesus appraises their resolve, exposes their excuses, and urges them to consider the cost of discipleship

    It’s Career Day at the high school and a small crowd is gathered at the Army’s booth. A Recruiter tells the students about field duty in the winter, eating MRE’s, family separations, grueling physical exercise, frequent moves, and the likelihood of war…and pretty soon he’s standing alone.
