Luke 14:25-35

A changed life affects us personally when we follow Jesus with all our hearts. It affects us corporately, as we share the Gospel message to those around us. And, it affects the world as we join with others in sharing the love of Christ.

The love of Jesus, and our love for Him is to occupy a space of absolute priority in our hearts. Jesus is building His church on love, commitment, and devotion. Delighting in His love, requires dependence on Him in total surrender.

Jesus wants total preeminence in our hearts and our lives. We are to love Him above all things, including others and ourselves. To bear the consequences of being a disciple of Christ is to count the cost of what it means for others to hate you.

Today, Pastor Jack shares with us that Jesus is about to jar the people’s view of the world. Unimpressed with the attendance of the crowd, Jesus is about the quality of the church not the quantity, numbers are not His goal. Instead, He begins to lay a foundation of love and discipleship among the people.

Becoming a disciple of Christ is not a decision that you should make lightly.  It’s a life-changing and life-long commitment.  In this message called SO YOU WANT TO BE A DISCIPLE?,  Pastor Jeff Schreve shares the real truth about what it means to whole-heartedly follow Jesus by surrendering your everything to Him each day.
