Good morning Church and welcome family, friends and visitors to our worship service.
This morning I have what I call a stand-alone sermon, which just means this isn’t a series just a single sermon to close out this year and I have an important question for you this morning, “What are you willing to give up?”
To follow Christ, what are you willing to give up?
Are you willing to give up some money, some time, some traditions, some efforts, some energy, a vacation, your possessions, where you live, your job?
What are you willing to give up to follow Jesus Christ, the way He calls us to follow?
Well, what do you mean pastor?
I am glad you ask, man you guys ask the best questions, it says in : Read

(Show Video) Willing to deny one’s self, what does that mean?
How far are we willing to go?
It is a question that each Christian must answer for themselves, because Jesus said, that unless I am willing to give up my life, that means all of it, I cannot follow Him.
This statement in comes after a rebuke of Peter, where Jesus is telling people that unless we are willing to follow what the Lord has planned, we are compromising.
We have really three things we can give to God, Time, Tithe and Talent.
Those are the big three T’s of giving in the Church.
That is our cross to bear.
