S10E11: Counting the Cost (Having Words with Jesus pt. 1)

Sermon #514

We're starting a new series in the book of Luke called "Having Words with Jesus," and the focus of the series will be on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.  Before we begin our journey, though, we first need to take stock of our lives and decide if we are willing or even able to submit ourselves to the life that Jesus calls us to.  We need to count the cost of discipleship to determine if we are able to follow through.  But Gd gives to us all we need in order to follow him; we only need to be willing to make him the primary relationship in our lives, over every earthly relationship and over every possession.  We need to be able to put to death our old nature and be raised again in Christ.  Can you do that?  Then let's begin our journey and follow hard after Christ, who gave his all for us.

Luke 14:25-33
