If everything in life has its price, time, career, success, then how much does following Jesus really cost? This sermon takes us through the eighth chapter of Mark’s Gospel (Mark 8), where Jesus, without any marketing tricks, says it plainly: whoever wants to follow him must deny himself and take up his cross. From the amusing complaints of national park tourists to the moving story of missionary Jim Elliot, we hear that the price of discipleship is high, but the price of not following turns out to be even higher. Listen and count the cost, you may discover that by giving up everything, you gain a life no one can ever take from you.
What Does Following Jesus Cost?
Who Is Jesus?
Questions are like keys. They open doors, prompt us to seek answers, and lead to important discoveries. Some of these questions are more important than others, because so much depends on them. One of the most important questions is: Who is Jesus? Was He a fraud who deceived His disciples and then millions of people around the world? A madman suffering from delusions of grandeur? Or was He who He claimed to be? Who was He? In search of the answer to this question, we embark on a journey through the Gospel of Mark, because we know that so much depends on this answer.
