II. THE PRICE OF COMMITMENT
Luke 14:26
[26] If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own
father
and mother, wife and children, brothers and
sisters-yes, and even his own life-he cannot by My
disciple.
I GIVE CHRIST...
The first THOUGHTS
of each day.
Psalm 5:3
[3] At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I
plead my
case to You and watch expectantly
The first “CONSIDERATION” in
every decision.
Proverbs
3:5-6
[5]
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely
on your own understanding
[6]
Think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide
you on the right paths
The first “TEN PERCENT”
OF EVERY PAYCHECK.

the
first produce of your entire harvest.
III. TWO TRAPS THAT WEAKEN OUR
COMMITMENT
TO CHRIST.
1. We get “DISTRACTED”
Mark

but the

for other

2. We become “COMPLACENT”
Romans 12:11
[11] Do
not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the
Lord.

[33]
But seek first
the
righteousness, and all these things will
be provided.
2. Commitment to Jesus means
heaven is your FINAL
destination.
John 14:2
[2] In My

for you.

you committed to Jesus?
Romans
6:13b
[13]
...but as those who are alive from the dead, offer
yourselves to God, and

2 Chronicles 16:9
[9] For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the
