The Cost and Comforts of Discipleship

Harrison Campus

May 21, 2023 • Pastor Jeremy Isaak • Matthew 10:24–42

Give

Following Jesus is costly. Christians will be maligned and slandered, at times by members of their own family. But for those who place Jesus first, before anything and anyone else, there is great comfort in our heavenly Father’s loving care and the rewards of following Christ.

The Privilege of the Disciple

May 21, 2023 • Pastor Jonathan Neufeld • Matthew 10:24–42

Jesus has been explaining to his disciples that they will face persecution, but he tells them they do not need to be afraid. If God is on their side, there is nothing to be afraid of. Disciples of Jesus are to carry the gospel message being courageously fearful, uncompromisingly loving as privileged ambassadors of Christ.

A Missionary Mindset

May 21, 2023 • Matt Shantz • Matthew 10:24–42

In Matthew 10 Jesus tells His disciples what to expect as they go about proclaiming the gospel. We should expect danger, division, and God’s present and eternal care.

The Commission for the Mission

May 21, 2023 • Pastor Kurtus Niessen • Matthew 10:24–42

At the end of the Mission Discourse, Jesus recognizes that conflict, suffering, and even familial unrest lay ahead for His followers. But as He always does, He prepares us for the road ahead with instruction for His modern-day disciples. Jesus instructs us to both disciple others and be discipled ourselves until we receive our reward.
