Preached with fire and conviction, “Whatever It Takes” challenges the laziness, compromise, and lukewarmness that infect modern Christianity.Drawing from Acts 21 and Paul's willingness to suffer and die for the Gospel, Pastor Mitchell confronts the casual believer and compels every listener to re-evaluate their priorities. Whether it's choosing God over football, holiness over entertainment, or mission over comfort, this sermon is a prophetic word to a generation in spiritual decline.

Our first love is Christ, and we must remember the costly discipline of communicating with him. Subscribe to daily devotions e-mails: https://wcm.link/ddsub

This message continues the series Life in the Kingdom: the Sermon on the Mount, "Costly Love." October 29, 2023. Pastor Joe Kappel. Auditorium.

A comparison of the Rich Young Ruler with Zacchaeus reveals the transforming power of Jesus' love over the power of money in our lives.

The relationship of parent to child is one that Paul uses in this passage and is helpful in understanding the relationship between those who proclaim the gospel and those who receive it. Children do not always appreciate their parents' sacrifices and sometimes even rebel against their parents. What motivates all that parents do for their children is love.In this passage, the Bible teaches how believers should respond to the gospel, the cost of ministry, and what motivates the preaching of the gospel.

God's costly love for us isn't simply our example to follow—it's what saves us and empowers us to show costly love to one another. Pastor Jonathan Fitzgerald preaches a sermon from 2 Corinthians 12:11-21 on the power of costly love.

This morning, I am continuing in the sermon series “The power of one life,” looking at minor Biblical characters and what we learn from them about God and our relationship with Him. Today I want to look at a woman named Gomer, who is found in the book of Hosea. Hosea was a prophet, the last prophet to prophesy to the northern kingdom of Israel before it fell to the Assyrian Empire in 722 BC. The role of a prophet was to be a covenant mediator. At Mt. Sinai, God had made a covenant with Moses and Israel – I will be your God, and this is what it means to be my people. Whenever the people of God were breaking the covenant and were in danger of bringing upon themselves the curses found in the covenant, God would raise up a prophet who would speak His words of warning to the people. Chief among God's expectations was not to have any gods before Him, and not to make or worship any idols. In Hosea's time, as was the case throughout much of Israel's history, they were guilty of worshiping foreign gods, most notably Ba'al, the Canaanite fertility god, who the Canaanites believed lived with his consort Anath. The Canaanites believed that Ba'al was responsible for giving the water and fertility to their crops. Their method of “prayer” and worship was to stimulate him to acts of fertility by having sex with the sacred shrine prostitutes. Naturally, many Israelites came to believe that they needed to honor the local god, Ba'al, in order to have a rich crop. Perhaps you can understand why God commanded them to drive the Canaanites out of the land, lest they be a stumbling block to them. So that is the setting. God's people are falling into idolatry and worshiping other gods, compromising their sexual purity in the process. They are violating their covenant with God and are in danger of bringing upon themselves the curses. And into this scene, God raises up a prophet named Hosea, and gives him a unique calling.

In this well-known and beloved parable, Jesus describes two types of people: those who flee from God in a misguided quest for personal freedom and those whose attempts to obey God result in self-righteous resentment. Between them stands a father who loves them both with reckless abandon and who joyfully welcomes them home.

What does it mean to return to first love and truly delight in Jesus, no matter the cost? In this final episode of season four, Jenna and Danielle continuing discussing how following Jesus is costly, but so worth it all.  As this duo unpacks and speaks scripture, hear about Gods great love that provokes a response in His disciples. I will go to the mountaintop with you—the mountain of suffering love and the hill of burning incense. Yes, I will be your bride. - Song of Solomon 4:6 TPT Discipleship Begins with Beholding, Samuel Whitefield

The Gospel of John pt 4John 13:31-38“Costly Love" // Dr. Gary Nebeker

God's love for us is costly. It cost Him His only Son, Jesus Christ. Tumigil ka sandali at pag-isipan ang katotohanang ito.Support the show (https://www.cbnasia.net/give)

Three parts to this encounter with Jesus: the beginning and end are illustrated with money. The middle two focus on the reality of eternal life, and the warning against those who seek earthy recognition as opposed to the rule of God in life..The spies and their craftiness to catch Jesus with an impossible situati  Jesus response is astonishing, creating a direct confrontation with  Their hypocrisy in using money while wanting the removal of a god  Their misunderstanding of the Kingdom of God  The Kingdom of God: Psalm 24: The earth is the Lord's and all it contained, the world and all who dwell in it.The bigger issue here is the understanding of what the Kingdom of God is about and why Jesus is about to fulfill all the prophecies. But the expectations of the religious leaders is vastly different.For them the Kingdom of God is linked with political aspirationsThe king is to bring secure borders, prosperity to all the Jewish peopleIt is like the Kingdom of David, and thus bringing freedom from the political oppression of a bloodthirsty nation that suppresses them.To this end, the encounter with the Sadducee is critical.  Their belief in no eternity, and no angels was from the time of Zadok the priest, who was an advisor to King David, was the more orthodox position in the philosophical gatherings of messianic understandings.  Yet their concepts blinded them to the reality of who Jesus really was and still is:The focus on the resurrection and eternal life is critical to knowing the real purposes of God! So Jesus confronts them while all the people are listening, and not only uses Exodus 3 and the burning bush with their tendency for exact interpretation of words, but also focuses on the prophecy of the son of David being greater than earthly kings!The final bit is, Jesus lifting his eyes and showing that the one who gives all for others has greater understanding of the Kingdom and more faith in the activity of the King than others do.
