181 // The Cost of Following Jesus // Daniel Smith
CityBridge Community Church
Teacher: Daniel Smith. This week, Daniel Smith presents us with a seemingly convicting question: is there anything we wouldn't joyfully lay down to follow Jesus? He delves into the narrative of the rich young ruler found in Mark 10:17-31—a story about a man who believed his good deeds made him "good" before God. However, Jesus didn't want his possessions or outward behavior; He wanted his heart. Daniel challenges us to fully surrender to Jesus, just as Jesus gave up all He had in heaven to become a servant on earth, fully surrendered to the Lord. Enjoyed the message? Rate us...

Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18 provide a clear path for resolving conflicts: address issues privately, involve others if needed, and seek...
