The Costly Life (Week 3)

The Costly Life series, “The Costly Life (Week 3)”
by Allen Palermo   §   LUKE 9:57-62

To follow Jesus means that we give up our life and give it to Him to do with whatever He pleases. To many that is just too high of a price to pay. They walk away unwilling to pay the price. Others say that they will follow Jesus but later decide to go back to what is comfortable and familiar when things get tough. Both of these groups of people will miss eternity because they do not understand that a relationship with Jesus is worth more than anything they would ever have to pay. The christian walk with Jesus is not an easy road, and Jesus wants everyone of His followers to know that and to count the cost before deciding to follow Him. The cost is great but the reward is even greater. — 10:30am Sunday Worship St. Michael’s Academy

by Teaching Pastor Eric Evje   §   MATTHEW 19:16-22

The Status of the Man (v.16) – This story is in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and from these passages we know that this man was a ruler, a person of influence, rich, and possibly a Pharisee.
This man was elite, but empty. This man had status but was not satisfied.

Question: Is this us today? Are we hiding behind our riches or our religion? — 10:30am Sunday Worship St. Michael’s Academy

The Costly Life

The Costly Life series, “The Costly Life”
by Teaching Pastor Eric Evje   §   LUKE 9:23-27

“In Luke Chapter 9, Jesus commissions the disciples and prepares them for the journey. How does He prepare them? (Read vs.1-6). Secondly, we see that Herod the man responsible for death of John the Baptist is seeking Jesus. Next, we see the Feeding of the 5,000. This is followed by Jesus questioning Peter on his identity. Finally, Jesus predicts his death and resurrection. Which brings us to the passage for today. So in summary, we see that Jesus has told the disciples that they are going to be homeless, that He is being sought out by a murderer, in the middle of this chapter we see a miracle, followed by intense questioning of motives for following Jesus, and the prediction of His death and resurrection. Which brings me to this question…”

“How many of you want to and are willing to follow Jesus? This is what Jesus is asking in theses verses.” — 10:30am Sunday Worship St. Michael’s Academy
