Surrendering All
In Luke 14:33 he said, “So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.” What does it take to be a disciple of Jesus?

Christians are followers of the Anointed One, Jesus, and the word “Christ” is a title, not Jesus’ last name. What an honor it is, then, to share the title “Christ” with Jesus as “Christians.” This was Peter’s point.
Have you ever heard someone say this before? It is a very hurtful thing to say and indicates deep resentment and anger.
[Marvin Weir] will be speaking on the following topics: “The Cross, The Church – God’s Eternal Purpose” (Eph. 3:10-11); “Worship And Observance Made Possible By The Cross” (John 4:24); “New Covenant A Reality Because Of The Cross” (Eph. 2:131-18); “One Cross – One Church” (Matt. 16:13-18); “Keys Of The Kingdom And Salvation Possible Only By The Cross” (Matt. 16:19); “Attend The Church Of Your Choice Denied By The Cross” (Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4).
It is of the upmost importance that we support our own gospel meeting. If we don’t support it, then who will?
In this lesson, we will look at some of Paul’s methods of evangelism. Each listener should be able to learn from Paul’s example of evangelism. I hope that we will follow Paul’s example and be more evangelistic.
Let’s remember that we are to love Him with all of our heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37). Let’s remember to bring up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Let’s remember to seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, and then everything that we need will be provided to us by Him (Matthew 6:33).
Jesus died on the cross to redeem mankind 1) with a cost, 2) from condemnation, 3) to communion, and 4) for consecration. Each hearer should understand the deeper meaning of redemption as relates to Christ’s sacrifice.
In Psalm 24:1 we have the basic principle that God owns everything and everybody: “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.” The apostle Paul quotes this Psalm in 1 Corinthians 10:26, 28 further emphasizing the truth.
This lesson will discuss how God defines the relationship of people to their labor. Each hearer should understand that labor is good, but it does not define us.
Work cannot satisfy our desire to be someone, only God can. Without Him, labor has no meaning.
A narcissist, who is also passive aggressive, will rarely ever confront someone directly because he does not want to change and take ownership of his problems; it is much easier to blame others.
Discontentment is a lack of faith. In 1 Timothy 6:17 Paul writes, “Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.” God is the greatest giver and He gives richly all things to enjoy; let’s be content with Him.
In the Old Testament, God makes provision for His people to rest. The Jews did not work on the Sabbath day; they were required by God to rest. Exodus 20:8-10 states, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…. In it you shall do no work….”
Jesus died on the cross because God loved the world enough to sacrifice His own Son for the world’s salvation. Each listener should be able to explain how God’s love motivated Him to sacrifice His Son, Jesus. Jesus died on the cross because 1) God is a God of Love, 2) The World Needed True Love, 3) The Son Demonstrated that Love. I hope that the listener would understand God’s motives in sending His Son to die on the cross.
