THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP

Colossians 3:3 “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”

1 Cor. 15:30-31 “Why are we in danger every hour? I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day!”

THE HOPE OF DISCIPLESHIP

1 Cor. 15:57 “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Romans 6:18 “And, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.”

Matthew 16:24-25 “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.’”

THE PURPOSE OF DISCIPLESHIP

Romans 12:1 “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”

1 Cor. 1:18 “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
