Behind Enemy Lines - Week 5

The sermon explores the theme that following Jesus is not meant to be comfortable, challenging the common misconception that salvation is primarily about personal comfort and fulfillment. It argues that a true follower of Jesus lives for the glory of Christ and the spread of the gospel, requiring a willingness to confront a real enemy, die to oneself, and accept suffering as a part of the Christian journey. The message uses the story of William Borden, who gave up a vast family fortune to become a missionary, as an example of radical abandonment. Listeners are urged to evaluate their commitment to Christ, and consider what aspects of their lives they need to surrender to fully follow Jesus.
