What is the cost of following Christ?

Sermon by Inessa Utayev.

The fight-or-flight response (also known as the acute stress response), refers to a physiological reaction that occurs when we are in the presence of something that is mentally or physically terrifying.

There are situations that if we don’t just do what we’re supposed to do, we’ll regret it.

Revelation 21:8

When you are alone with God -- just you, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit, do you feel peace about your own life?

Let's take a look at how Jesus taught. Passages discussed: Luke 8:4 and Luke 14:25-35.

How many of us are the GOOD soil?

In Luke 14:28 Jesus tells us that following him is like building a tower. Don’t you first sit down and think if you have enough, if you want to spend enough, and if you want to give away all you have in order to build this thing? Because otherwise you’re going to build a tower halfway and realize you cant complete it. It’s foolish.

And the same way Jesus is telling us: I’m gonna tell you about the cost of following me ahead of time, because I don’t want you quitting halfway.

Are you going to fight with Jesus when the going gets tough, or are you going to take flight? Fight, or flight?

Count the cost. You will never regret being all in with Jesus.
