Under Construction - Is It Worth It? (Alvaton - Week 1)
Luke 14:25-33 25 Now large crowds were going along with Him, and He turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. 27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who are watching it will begin to ridicule him, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build, and was not able to finish!’ 31 Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to face the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 Otherwise, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and requests terms of peace. 33 So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.
Jesus Doesn’t *Sugarcoat the *Cost
Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.’
Philippians 2:10-11 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
You Can’t *Build Right on the Wrong *Blueprint
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
What You Gain *Outweighs What You *Give *Up
Luke 14:33 “So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.”
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Luke 4:17–19 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
