[0.00 --> 8.10] well thank you for that prayer val that last line is very much in keeping with our sermon series |
[8.10 --> 14.40] that we can know who jesus is through the pages of scripture and in this sermon series if you've |
[14.40 --> 18.72] been tracking with us throughout the summer we're doing a whole sermon series on the hard sayings of |
[18.72 --> 24.62] jesus recognizing that there are many things jesus says that compute and they minister to us and they |
[24.62 --> 29.84] encourage us and there are other things jesus says that actually can trouble us and even confuse |
[29.84 --> 36.18] us or frustrate us and we want to especially listen even then recognizing that there is good news and |
[36.18 --> 42.56] there's a reason why jesus gives this teaching both then and now today we're looking at teaching that |
[42.56 --> 48.04] kind of represents a cluster of teaching on discipleship specifically the challenges of |
[48.04 --> 53.14] discipleship and i invite you if you have your bible turn with me to luke chapter 9 we're going to read |
[53.14 --> 55.54] verse 57 over to 62 |
[55.54 --> 64.58] this is uh the heading of this section of scriptures called the cost of following jesus |
[64.58 --> 71.92] as they were walking along the road man said to him i will follow you wherever you go |
[71.92 --> 79.82] jesus replied foxes have holes and birds have nests but the son of man has no place to rest his head |
[79.82 --> 86.62] he said to another man follow me but he replied lord first let me go and bury my father |
[86.62 --> 93.68] jesus said to him let the dead bury their own dead but you go and proclaim the kingdom of god |
[93.68 --> 100.14] still another said i will follow you lord but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family |
[100.14 --> 107.88] jesus replied no one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom |
[107.88 --> 110.42] of god this is god's word |
[110.42 --> 119.10] one of the things that can get under my skin and i have a feeling it gets under your skin too |
[119.10 --> 126.98] is false advertising and it's everywhere right billboard ads social media on the television you |
[126.98 --> 133.06] can't avoid false advertising let me give you just a few examples you will never order a burger at a |
[133.06 --> 139.06] fast food joint that looks even remotely close to the burger you see on that commercial tell me i'm wrong |
[140.18 --> 148.34] you will never apply skin cream to your face that will take 15 to 20 years off of your age even though |
[148.34 --> 155.30] you saw that so convincingly on instagram and you will never buy a new version of your phone that will |
[155.30 --> 160.98] give you even close to the joy they show whoever's on the commercial holding that new phone and the |
[160.98 --> 165.38] reality is a new phone will come out again that makes that old phone look terrible that's the world |
[165.38 --> 172.10] we live in and in each of these cases these advertisers these companies are tricking you into thinking |
[172.10 --> 176.90] you're going to get more than they actually can deliver and you always get let down right that's how |
