The Dangerous Call of Jesus

In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider the true nature of following Jesus - is it safe or risky? The answer, we learn, is both. Drawing from Matthew 10, we explore Jesus' instructions to His disciples as He sends them out to spread the Gospel. This passage reveals four profound truths about why Jesus puts us in risky positions: to advance His kingdom against the world's, to grow His kingdom in our hearts, because the lost are worth it, and because the reward is worth it. We're reminded that darkness reigns until light shines, and as followers of Christ, we're called to be that light, even when it means going against the flow of culture. This message encourages us to examine our hearts and ask ourselves: when tested, do we truly follow Jesus? It's in these moments of risk and obedience that we allow Jesus to prove His faithfulness to us.
