Something Greater Than Something Free

Pastor Paul Rivero: Matt 16:20-28

Trying to remove Godly suffering is of the flesh.

Free catches our mind.

Predictably Irrational

Buying something free than sometime of more value at a discount

Opportunity Cost

Sale of something discounted that will be discontinued.

The psychology of free.

The free sample that will guilt a person to buy a product.

Our gifts were paid for

Romans 6:8, 5:8, 3:23, Rom 6:23, Acts 2:38

A gift refused is the refuser’s lost because it cost the person nothing.

Satan tempted Jesus.

Matt 4:8-9  Tempted Jesus to take the crown, without paying the price.

We have a higher threshold of pain for self than for our children.

Our suffering will perfect us

Prov 27:6 suffering can be fruitful. Our friends that help through the suffering is better than removing the suffering.

Heb 2:10 , Phi 2:5-8, 12-15

The sufferings, the humbling is the workings of God.

Matt 16:24 a disciples have a teachable spirit. To be a disciple, there must be a price.

Being off the alter is free, but there is a price to following Jesus.

The cross was a violent event.

Taking up the cross will violate yourself.

Love not the world....
