Subject:
Following Christ has a greater cost going forward than we often imagine
Central Theme:
You cannot stay close to Jesus and remain anonymous: Scott Duvall
The grace of God is unilateral. The life of a disciple is not.
Objective Statement:
Every person that follows Christ must pay a cost.
Rationale:
1. That cost does not buy us grace: grace is gifted by God and CANNOT BE BOUGHT
2. That cost is rather charged by the world to us.
Responses:
It will cost those who crave the approval of family and friends over the approval of Christ
It will cost those who crave the trappings of this world
It will cost those who crave the security of their lives
It will cost those who crave to call things their own
It will cost those who crave to pass through life without stinging a few and unchanged
Implementation:
1. Prayer cards:
A. One thing that you want to see happen in yourself in the coming 40 days
B. One thing that you want to see happen in this church in the coming 40 days
C. One thing that you want to see happen in your family in the coming 40 days
2. Prayer Cards: other side
A. One person that you need to be more like Christ in your relationship with
