!! Bible Text: Matthew 16:24-28, 1 Timothy 6:10, John 10:10, Matthew 25:46, 1 John 4:10
!! Subject: Cost
!! Title: The Costs Associated With Christ
!
INTRODUCTION
!! Biblical Orientation:
!!!
In this time when we are in economic turmoil, many are eyeing their retirement account and their savings account.
We wonder if they will profit us.
It is a time of upheaval, confusion, and wonder.
*The reason so many worry about money is it represents earthly stability*
!!! Speak of the need for stability.
The disciples, who had given up everything to follow Jesus, have just been told He would die!
Yes, He also spoke of His resurrection, but they did not hear that.
They were wondering, what does this mean to me.
What will I do, where will I go and how am I going to survive
!!!
That may be how you are feeling today.
You might be worried about how you will live and survive.
These things can be a real shock.
Just like the disciples were shocked, only they had given up much more than you and I have given up.
It is at that exact moment Jesus told them that earthly riches would not profit them like heavenly riches.
There is something of far greater value than worldly riches
!! Sermon Orientation:
!!! Jesus said the cost would go on even after He died.
There would be the cost of discipleship, this is the expense incurred by being a follower of Jesus.
Things must be given up and things must be done to follow Him.
There is the cost of a soul, nothing is more important than a man’s soul; this cost determines one’s eternal destiny.
With such great costs, there is also great benefit for those that live for the Lord.
They will find themselves the recipients of the greatest rewards given to mankind
