What does it really cost to follow Jesus? In Week 4 of our “Crazy Love” series, Pastor Ryan Lutz unpacks what Jesus meant when He said, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Real, Christ-like love is not cheap. It costs us comfort, convenience, and control—but the cost is always worth it because the cross says we were worth it.

In this message, we look at the story of the Rich Young Ruler (Mark 10:17–31) and discover how Jesus calls us into a deeper life of surrender and sacrificial love. We also explore powerful historic examples—Mother Teresa, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Harriet Tubman, and Martin Luther King Jr.—who chose costly love that changed the world.

If you're longing for a deeper faith, a bolder obedience, and a love that looks more like Jesus, this message will challenge and encourage you.
