SERMON SERIES:
THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP
This Sunday (3/8):
The Payout: Count the Cost
Scripture: Luke 14: 25-35
In Luke 14, Jesus turns to the crowd and invites them to count the cost of being His disciple. Jesus draws a parallel between a person who builds a tower to one who would follow Him. He says in verse 28, " For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost. This Sunday as we close out this sermon series we will look at the payout of following Jesus. What we will discover is that when we follow Jesus, we will come to know Him on a much deeper level, we will reign with Him in His kingdom, and we will live with Him in eternity.
