The Cost of Following Jesus
Luke 9:57-62
- Following Jesus means prioritizing him far above our desires for the approval of others, safety, comfort, wealth, and other worldly goods.
- Following Jesus means prioritizing gospel proclamation far above even our most reasonable obligations.
- Following Jesus means being singularly focused in our discipleship.
Flourishing in Both Life and Death
Philippians 1:18b-26
Having the perspective of Christ means seeing death as a gain, not a loss
Having the purpose of Christ means prioritizing disciple-making now
Having the mind of Christ means rejoicing in all circumstances
