The Cost of Discipleship

How much does a 2-liter cost? ...$1....How about a Whale Water Fountain for your home faucet?... $2.89. How much does Scope Breath Mist cost? ...$2.39.
This past Sunday at GOkids we learned that everything and anything will cost you something. So, what is the cost of following Jesus?...the Cost of Discipleship?

Luke 9 :23 says "Anyone you comes after me must deny themself, take up their cross dailly and follow me."

1. Lay aside the things I want for the things that God wants.

2. Listen to what God wants me to do.

3. Obey Him right away...no matter how easy or difficult it may seem!!!

The reward is GREAT!
Try it and see what happens!!!
We are going to continue to follow the disciples and see what great rewards benefited them "denied themselves and took up their cross to follow Jesus"...as they paid the cost of discipleship.
Following Jesus,
Pastor Larissa

memory verse : Jesus said, "If anyone comes after me he must deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me." Luke 9:23

This weekend was the BIG campout in the backyard of COTR!

We had a blast with 27 kids and 9 adults!!!



Mr. Josh taught us how to set up and take down tents and build a campfire.

Mr. Ray and Miss Catherine taught us all about target shooting with BB guns and Bow and Arrows.

Pastor Larissa helped us make Hobo Meals and Smores around the campfire. We had campfire talks and devotions and played FIND THE GLOWSTICK in the dark.

Coach Hall rigged up an outdoor theater to watch THE HANNAH MONTANA MOVIE and coached a fine game of CAPTURE THE FLAG.

Miss Justin and Mr. Josh lead us in a campfire sing.
