• Life gets hard when we get things out of  order .

• The Bible has a word for when God is NOT first... It is called  idolatry .

• In the scriptures idolatry is the root of all  sin .

• SIN is the first  allegiance  to secondary things.

Luke 9:51, 57-62

Main Point #1: We need to rediscover the  intensity  of  following  Jesus.

Luke 14:22-33

Main Point #2: There is a  cost  in following Jesus.

A. We have to put Christ before  personal   relationships .

B. We have to put Christ before our  ambitions .

C. We have to put Christ before  processions .

What is the  second  most important thing in your life?
