You Want Me to Do What?!
Luke 9:57-62

John Tam opened his message with a story of an up and coming professional baseball player, who gave up the opportunity to become a superstar and make millions of dollars. He chose to follow God's call to give up baseball and enter into full-time ministry.

Just like the baseball player, God may ask us to give up things that are near and dear to us. He wants us to:

- Give up our securities. God provides us with our possessions, but we need to be good stewards and not pay homage to these things.

- Step out of our comfort zones. We may be scared of the unknown, but we need to put our trust in him.

God wants all of our focus and devotion. He wants us to fix our eyes upon Jesus. The cost of following Jesus is our obedience. We may be asked to sacrifice something. However, God had the biggest cost in that His Son had to suffer and die for us.

This week think about if God is stirring your heart to do something. Perhaps he is calling you to step out of your comfort zone. Will you answer his call? Will you obey?
