This is from the 1030 service, and apparently my microphone failed. Thus, enjoy the unplugged version, featuring occasional pocket scratches and strange noises that I choose to interpret as the rustling of the Spirit... :)
When we choose anything, we also choose against other options. One of the most challenging parts of discipleship isn’t choosing those things that we like over and above the things we don’t like, but making the choices that force us to choose against things we want — sometimes things we’ve wanted our whole lives.
The disciples chose to follow Jesus, and in doing so they left behind their careers, their families, their old lives — and sometimes even their names — and engaged in a new risky venture with this new teacher who was taking on the mantle of John the Baptist’s ministry.
How do you choose when it’s hard? What’s something you might need to choose to give up in order to choose to follow the calling of God in your life?
