Starting Place with Elizabeth Woodson

Forgetting the Cost of the Gospel


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re exploring one of the most pervasive ways we forget the gospel. Specifically, we forget the cost, which is surrender. We often sing about surrender, but if we're honest, we tend to surrender some rather than all. But abundant life only comes through surrendering our lives fully to Jesus.
Main Takeaways:
  1. We are being formed. The culture is shaping us to prioritize ease and comfort, being driven by what feels good rather than what God says is God.
  2. We all have a master. Whether we realize it or not, we are all controlled or surrendered to something or someone. The question is whether or not it is Christ.
  3. Following Jesus means recognizing areas we haven’t fully surrendered and taking intentional steps to align our lives with His way.
Reflection Question:
What in your life do you need to surrender to God?
