There are many voices calling out for our allegiance in our world today. The problem is we can only follow after 1 master. Jesus is up-front and clear about the demands of becoming a disciple, and His challenge from Luke 9 focuses us to ask the question “how committed are we” to following after Jesus?

Mr. Too Hasty: Uninformed / Impulsive

Mr. Too Hesitant: Uncommitted / Indecisive

Mr. Too Homesick: Unsure / Insecure

Conclusion & Application:
Conditions on Following Jesus
1. Recusal from Worldliness
2. Abiding Commitment
3. Undivided Loyalty

Jesus makes claim to all of you – ALL OF IT BELONGS TO HIM

Matthew 13:44-46

44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
