BAM - watch them every Tuesday night on our Facebook page. This Week the Jezebel Spirit… and not just women have it. 

 

August Friday and Saturday 16th 17th End times conference at HillSpring Church sponsored by The David Alliance, 

 

 

 

100 different games on the price is right… Plinko, high or low, Spin the wheel… but they all have one thing in common… all 100 deal with this one issue. How much does it cost. 

 

You know God makes the game simple. He tells us the price, the cost and he tells us the reward. 

 

Matthew 16

 

21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.

22 But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!”

23 Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. 25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds. 28 And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

 

 

The price Jesus life.

The cost our life.

The reward is not just heaven but also according to our deeds.

 

 

The price Jesus life - No way you can pay that back. The ultimate price. 

The cost our life. Yes we must now pick up our cross and lay down our life…. But in comparison to what Jesus paid, we got nothing to complain about. What an example he set for us. He never asks us to do something he didn’t also do. 

In the series “the last dance” the Michael Jordan story of his last year on the Bulls. There is a scene well into the series…. Maybe episode 7 where they are talking about how tough MJ was on his teammates… MJ gets emotional and says there is a price to pay for greatness, there is a price to pay for championships… he tears up and he says “they can say whatever they want to say about me, but They can never say that I ever asked them to do something that I didn’t do. 

 

Jesus never asks us to do something he never did… and he did it to the ultimate degree. 

 

The reward is not just heaven but also according to our deeds.

All through scripture we see salvation, rewards and job placement in heaven due to our commitment to an all in mentality lifestyle in picking up our cross.
