Summary
If you're going to honor the Lord with your life, it will take the very best you have. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the intentionality required to serve and follow Jesus. In Matthew 10, Jesus presents a series of perspectives that drastically differ from what our culture and many contemporary Churches espouse. Pastor Allen walks through several of those viewpoints. The hope of the world rests in the unlikely hands of you and me, and our response will determine our future. While it's difficult to give ourselves fully to Jesus and the assignments He has for us, when we do, it leads to God's best for our lives.

| 1:05.6 | We've been working on this theme of Let's Do Difficult and I think it's legitimate, you know, the Christian faith is so we're tempted, I think, often to frame it in terms of unbelievers and people who don't know us and are apart from us and we want to |
