The sermon is from Luke 9:23-27– “Count the Cost; Take Up the Cross; Follow Christ”.  “For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?” – Luke 9:25

All three synoptic gospels contain this question (See – Matthew 16:26; Mark 8:36). The Spirit of God intends for us to answer it. Suppose you opened a small business that became a large business. And suppose further that the large business grew and grew. It became a large corporate empire. Then, you were able over time to purchase other businesses like Amazon and Federal Express and others until you ran a world-wide monopoly. Then, you began to purchase land until you owned every square inch of the earth – even the depths of the sea. You, as Christ states, “… gained the whole world ….” What good would all your riches be if you lost your soul and perished eternally? Jesus probes and he probes us deeply with this question.
