Northwest Foursquare Church Sermon Podcast

If Jesus were to say to you right now, “come and follow me,” what do you think it would cost you to say yes? Whether it’s our comfort, control, priorities or even something good that we’ve decided must come first discipleship will often require us to surrender things that we genuinely value. Through 3 different encounters in Luke 9, Jesus makes the cost of following Him unmistakable. This weekend, we’ll see what it means to surrender what we’re holding onto, put Jesus first, and follow Him even when the cost is greater than we expected. Speaker: Pastor Iziah Dawn Scripture: Luke 9:23-25, Luke 9:57-62 Connect Card - https://nwc.churchcenter.com/people/forms/118663 Northwest Church - www.nwcfoursquare.org "On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

Following God feels easy when there’s nothing challenging what we believe. But eventually we will face moments when our convictions are tested, and we have to decide what we’re really committed to. It’s one thing to say what we believe, but it’s another thing to live by those beliefs especially when there’s pressure to do something different. Our passage today gives us a powerful example where Daniel found himself in that exact situation and I think he shows us what it looks like to stay faithful to God even in Babylon. Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Daniel 1:8-21 Series: Daniel: Faithful In a Fallen World Connect Card - https://nwc.churchcenter.com/people/forms/118663 Northwest Church - www.nwcfoursquare.org "On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

The book of Daniel reveals one of the darkest moments in Israel’s history. Jerusalem is under attack, God’s people are being taken captive, and Daniel and his friends suddenly find themselves living in Babylon. Everything familiar has changed, and they must now learn what it means to live for God in a world that is very different from the one they had known. As we begin our journey through Daniel, we will step into their world, understand what they were facing, and discover why their experience in Babylon still has so much to teach us today.

Our world is going furrther into dark and confusing times. As we look around, it is easy give in to discouragement and plunge into a direction that leads us away from God. However, scripture calls us to stand firm, to not give up, and to not lose hope. The single most important thing we have is our faith in Christ and what He has done for us. Let's persevere in what God has for us!

In the life of the Christian, we face all kinds of trials. It’s guaranteed. Our natural response can be to avoid, we don’t want to go through hardships. But Jesus doesn’t promise a life devoid of hardship, he promises that He will be with us in it. He will see us through our trial and does not leave us. Let's continue to look to the Lord in the midst of what we are facing!
