Message: The gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 9:49-10:1
~You think you will follow Jesus until your comfort zone is tested.
~He was concerned about caring for his father until he died. Wait.
~Wait
Every excuse is reasonable.
Have you noticed that God usually calls those who are working to work for Him, people who are busy to be busy for Him? He calls you from something to something else, to leave in order to go.
Have you noticed that Jesus asks things of people that they won’t do?
Jesus does not want part of you but all of you!
A mission board executive wrote to David Livingstone in Africa asking if there was a good road to his remote outpost. "If so," he said, "we have a couple of men who would like to come and help you." The famous missionary wrote back, "If they need a good road, don't send them. I need men who can come, road or no road."
“If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.”
