Right Here, Right Now
I must say this was probably the best sermon I've ever heard at GrX. (yea its only like the 5th sermon I've heard) I always appreciate well thought out sermons that preach it out of Luke. Straight up and in your face is what Luke is. I'm curious to hear about everyone's thoughts on sermon?
Following Jesus is hard period, its costly, takes over your life, and isn't culturally acceptable, yet we continue to follow? Min Tak made a good point about how costly it is to follow God and mentioned a lot about the cost of time. I tend to think the cost is far greater than simply time and resources, but the cost rather is the desires of our heart. It's the lack of desire for Christ that make time and resources hard to give. We sing all these songs about desire, yet find ourselves still lacking in desire for God. Hows the song go? "This is my desire... to follow you..." I look forward to the day that I can sing that song and say those words with genuine integrity.
What are your thoughts on the sermon?

I like Min's sermon because I could relate to some parts of it. Probably the part that impacted me the most was when he spoke of not going back to Virginia to be with his mother. I can totally relate to how hard that is do and how it aches sometimes to be away from your parents. Depending on how close you are to your parents, the ache is not only emotional but also physical. Yeah, sometimes being a christian means making some tough decisions.
