Wholeheartedly follow Jesus – no holding back!

1. Count the cost of following 28-32

What does it cost if you don’t follow? (Matthew 16:26, Philippians 3:8)
At what point would you abandon Jesus?
The world will hate us! (John 15:18)
Salvation cannot be bought… but it will cost us everything!
How are you holding back even now?

2. Accept the call to die 26-27, 32

Following Jesus matters more than your life:

• Your relationships
• Your possessions
• Your preferences
• No excuses!!

Love Jesus most and choose Jesus first!

3. Beware the loss of value 34-35

We all desire for our lives to matter!
Our value is found in the one we follow.
No matter how hard life is, or what obstacles we face, Jesus can use us when we stay the course!
