Bonhoeffer Sermon Series | Part Two:
The Cost of Discipleship Welcome to Part Two of our Bonhoeffer Sermon Series, The Cost of Discipleship. This message explores Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s powerful teachings on costly grace and the true meaning of following Christ. Bonhoeffer challenges us to move beyond superficial faith and embrace a life of surrender, obedience, and bold action for the Kingdom of God.
Using key scriptures such as Luke 9:23-24, Matthew 7:13-14, and Philippians 3:7-8, this sermon dives deep into the three main principles of discipleship:
Daily Denial of Self: True discipleship requires setting aside our desires and taking up our cross daily to follow Jesus.
Surrender in Obedience: Walking the narrow path of obedience, even when uncomfortable or challenging.
Living Boldly for Christ: Prioritizing Christ above all else and living out our faith with courage and conviction.
Bonhoeffer’s life was a testament to these truths. His unwavering commitment to Christ led him to resist Nazi oppression, even at the cost of his freedom and life. His story reminds us that discipleship is not easy but is transformative and worth every sacrifice.
Reflection Questions:
- Are you willing to deny yourself daily to follow Christ?
- What areas of your life need greater surrender to God’s will?
- How can you boldly live for Christ in your relationships, work, and community?
Key Takeaways:
- Discipleship is costly but leads to the fullness of life in Christ.
- Grace is not passive; it empowers us to live courageously for God’s Kingdom.
- Following Jesus requires daily, intentional action that reflects His love and truth.
