Radical Discipleship

Luke 14:25-33

“When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.”

1. The cost of following Jesus (Luke 14:26-27)
   • Philippians 3:7-9
2. The cost of non-discipleship (Luke 14:28-33)

   “"To depart from righteousness is to choose a life of crushing burdens, failures and disappointments, a life caught in the toils of endless problems that are never resolved. Here is the source of that unending soap opera, that sometimes horror show known as normal human life. The cost of discipleship, though it may take all we have, is small when compared to the lot of those who don’t accept Christ’s invitation to be a part of his company in the way of life."
   (The Spirit of the Disciplines)

3. Growing towards maturity (Galatians 5:16-18)
   • What is Jesus asking you to lay down today? What are you planning to put off, ‘maybe tomorrow’?
