Part two of the “Follow Me” series explores the cost of following Jesus: understanding our identity as created in God’s image, the power of the Spirit at work within us, and the need to challenge assumptions about cheap or transactional faith.

The message highlights three demands of true discipleship—love Christ above all, take up your cross daily, and hold possessions and comforts loosely—and warns of the spiritual loss (purpose, peace, and fruit) that comes from half-hearted following.

This sermon explores John 1:14 and explains how the Word—Jesus—was present in creation, is the source of eternal life, and is revealed in the Scriptures. The speaker shows that eternal life is a person, not just a future hope, and unpacks Old Testament prophecy pointing to Christ.

The message outlines three theological purposes of the incarnation: to become fully human and defeat death, to establish and empower the church, and to connect heaven to earth. It closes by emphasizing the gift of sonship, faith coming by hearing the Word, and an invitation to fellowship.

This message explores John 15:1–6 and related New Testament passages to explain what it means to "abide in Christ." It shows how believers receive life and identity through Christ, become a new creation, and are supported and pruned by the Father so they can bear fruit; it also highlights the Greek nuance of key words and affirms freedom from condemnation and the law of sin and death.
