Radical Courage is the first sermon in the Radical Discipleship series.

Why radical? In planning for this series of sermons, there was one sermon called radical hospitality and one called radical evangelism and we figured out that everything is radical when you follow Jesus: in fact, Jesus said you have to deny yourself and take up your cross. We connect ourselves with crosses today but in the days of Jesus, the Roman empire kept people in line with crosses. People didn’t talk about this. It’s extreme and intense; likewise, it’s these when we follow Jesus. 

Today we will talk about radical courage: most know what courage is: we want more than we have and we want to give each other more courage. I want to look at this more closely: my question to you today: what or who are you avoiding? Is that too deep of a question? Some avoid everything! We all avoid things…but how do we begin this analysis? This is a key way to begin this analysis; in fact, we should be asking this question all the time.
