Can you afford not to follow Jesus?
Some of the years 12s from our youth community recently enjoyed a week of schoolies in Forster. It included chilling, time in the bible and serving the local community. You can read a little bit about our Schoolies trip in the latest issue of Sydney Anglican’s Southern Cross magazine. This is the second year of Soulies partnering with Coast Evangelical Church. It was encouraging seeing the crew getting alongside the locals, I love seeing year 12s seeking to be a blessing to the community rather than a burden like so many other schoolies trips.
I preached at the church on Luke 14:25-35. Here is the MP3:

Here is the structure:
Jumping on the bandwagon
Context (Luke 14:25,35)
1) What does it mean to truly be one of Jesus’ followers?
a) Hate your family (Luke 14:26)
b) Carry your cross (Luke 14:27)
2) Consider the cost of following Jesus:
a) Can you afford to follow Jesus? (Luke 14:28-30)
b) Can you afford NOT to follow Jesus? (Luke 14:31-33)
He is worth it!

THE PERFECTED KINGDOM // On Location
This video was shot and produced in June 2012 for SOULIES YOUTH. There were some issues with exporting and it was never shown. There are still issues with the sound and quality of output – but reading breathtaking sections of Jesus from the book of Revelation is good regardless of production quality!! It was shot on locations around Sydney.
This was part 8 in a series of talks called “GOD’S BIG PICTURE” based on Vaughan Robert’s outlines in this book. Music: The Revelation of Jesus Christ by Ghost Ship. Used by permission, marshill.com/music.

Bible Society Australia are doing some great projects. I loved their 25 Words campaign and think they did an amazing job on Jesus’ Epic Story! WILD BIBLE is a series of animated stories about Jesus for children. My 3.5 year old loves watching them and they are helping him to keep learning more about King Jesus. I have inserted all the videos below – I thought you might be interest – but I also want quick access to them when using them.
