They say our life is the sum total of our choices. Which goes to say that we would do well to choose wisely. But that doesn’t mean that we should chose ease. So I was talking to my football team the other day and I asked them why they came out and endured the heat, the sweat, the stress, the bumps and…

The kingdom of God demands our full commitment; you cannot be a half-hearted disciple.

Introduction This week and next week we are going to dive into our last two topics in our journey through the Gospel and the life of Jesus. This week we are talking about discipleship Next week we are talking about lordship. Lordship is where we began this series, and lordship is where we will end this…

Main Idea Discipleship is the collective pursuit of growth toward Christlikeness. Have you ever heard of Companion Planting? I haven’t either. According to Madison Fields (an agricultural resource center): “Planting a garden that utilizes the strengths of each plant to form a healthy plant community…

We continue in our journey through the book of Ephesians today, and our text for today comes from the Lectionary is Ephesians 5:15-20 . So lets jump in and see what God has for us in our reading from the Holy Bible. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the…

Today we will be in Luke 9:23-24 Last week we talked about “What makes a Christian?” And the Bible scripture we looked at to answer that came from Acts 11:19–26 . From the first Christians, we answered the question, “What is a Christian?” 1. Someone who has heard the Good News , the Gospel, of Jesus…

What a great day to worship Jesus Christ There are billions of people who will never know what it is like to gather with God’s people There are billions of people who will never know what it is like to know Jesus But for us WE ARE BLESSED! We have something so much greater than this world could ever…

This morning, we come to the conclusion of this series on Discipleship, and we conclude with what I think is the climax of the entire concept of Christian Discipleship: The Model! The One after Whom we pattern our lives—the Lord Jesus Christ. For several weeks, we have explored Jesus’ consistent command,…

Count the Cost 25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come…

If you would this morning, take your copy of God’s word and turn to Luke 14:25 . And when you have found that passage look up here. Years ago in Kentucky a man walked into a Dairy Queen, placed his order and then paid for it with a $200 bill. The cashier gave him $198 in change and he drove away. Some…

There are many gospels out there that could be preached. Ultimately false gospels. We probably don’t have to worry too much about the prosperity gospel. What about the forgiveness only gospel. God wants to forgive your sin and give you eternal live. The forgiveness gospel is a consumer gospel. Not really…

Introduction Being dad to Luisa, Holly, and our newest addition (Javier) has taught me much about myself and much about my Heavenly Father. For instance, in discipling my children, I’ve realize that it requires repetition, patience, and the idea of an ongoing conversation about how we should be that…

In this series on Discipleship, we have already spoken of the dangerous doctrine of “cheap grace.” Grace covers everything, so just act as you wish, as if there has been no change in your life as a result of following Jesus. Rather, we encourage every believer to understand the concept of “costly grace,”…

Identifying your god. Not a concept. He’s a Person. The question: Do I trust Him?

Luke 14:25-33 25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come…

I think if you were to put a theme on last week’s sermon, it would be this: The Enemy We Face And what we found out was that - in this world - our TRUE enemy is - NOT of flesh and blood. We saw that our TRUE enemy is - the Spiritual Forces of Evil looking to destroy us - eternally Our TRUE enemy - seeks…

Paradox defined: A statement that seems to contradict itself. The call to discipleship and the cost of discipleship SEEM a hard, heavy weight to bear, but the truth is discipleship is the one way to eternal life AND to find the highest meaning in this life. That Luke 9:23-25 “ Then He said to them all,…

Following Jesus Just to catch us up to speed, this is what we’ve looked at the last few weeks through our study of Luke. First, we read about Jesus’ baptism. There he was declared the Son of God. Then, that title was challenged by the Devil in the Temptation of Jesus. After the Temptation Jesus went…

At the market place, a seller advertises "1 salad for $3, 3 salads for $10". A customer passing by stops and speaks with the seller: He says, “that's not right!” What do you mean?” the vendor asks Well, that's not an offer: 3 salads cost $9. No, sir, it says here that 3 salads cost $10. I know, but if…
