Jesus invited people to the table and then urged them to live consecrated lives. The call to follow Jesus is a call to live a life that is set apart and fully devoted to Him. This means living differently, in a way that makes room for Jesus and makes way for His mission. Consecration is about putting Jesus before ourselves.
The Call of Christ is to live a consecrated life, urging us to live set apart and fully devoted. The sermon encourages consecration over comfort, compromise, and complacency. It calls for consecration for the sake of our city and Christ's mission. Practical ways to set apart and devote oneself include a daily rhythm of Bible study, prayer, and self-examination.
