I wholeheartedly agree that discipleship is death and slavery, even if more glorious than we can yet fathom and a gracious gift beyond our merit. I also observe how infrequently the folks in the pulpit or the pews seem to bring even a tenth of the zeal of the sermon to the five minutes following the service, much less the rest of the week--I admire your "Life Group Discussion Guide" for ramifying and personalizing the insights of your message.

I would certainly not ask you to share the answers with this public audience, but I wish to glean from your example and methods in general terms. Do you ask yourself and consider your congregation's answers to these questions, work to bear fruit in keeping with any repentance that might issue forth from conviction about not meeting the standard you identify in the text, and set out long-term plans for accountability and the accomplishment of goals associated with this unwavering commitment to following Jesus above any and all else?

Thank you for sharing this sermon and may the Lord bless you and the congregation you serve!
