SEACOAST CHURCH OUTRAGEOUS Part 5: The Outrageous Cost of Following Jesus Josh Walters Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23 IF I WANT TO FOLLOW JESUS I MUST... 1. DENY MYSELF AND 2. TAKE UP MY CROSS DAILY AND 3. FOLLOW HIM. HOW DO I DO THIS? 1. THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8 2. IN A COMMUNITY OF BELIEVERS Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:23-25 3. ONE DAY AT A TIME Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. You must warn each other every day, while it is still "today," so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. Hebrews 3:12-14
