The Cost of Discipleship - World

In this message, the focus is the cost and calling of true discipleship as seen through four areas of the Christian life: worship, the Word of God, the work of ministry, and world missions.The central emphasis is the mission of God and how it shapes every part of a believer’s life. True discipleship is not partial or compartmentalized—it touches everything.Drawing from passages like John 3:16–17, Matthew 28:19, Acts 1:8, Luke 14, and others, the message highlights four key realities of the mission of Christ: It is for WHOEVER—every person, regardless of background.  It is for WHEREVER—all nations and every place in the world.  It is for WHENEVER—present in the everyday rhythms of life.  It is for WHATEVER—pervading every detail of a believer’s activity. The sermon challenges listeners to evaluate whether they truly follow Christ by loving what He loves and embracing the cost of discipleship. It warns against building personal kingdoms and instead calls believers to participate in God’s global mission: seeing every moment, relationship, and opportunity as part of the work of the gospel.Thanks for listening to the Living Faith St. Louis podcast.
