Luke 14:10-14
What's in it for me? There was an occasion when Simon Peter and the disciples were having a conversation with Jesus, they had been following Jesus for some time, but He began to talk about going to the cross.

Many people when they come to a church, the primary thing they want to know about a church is, what's in it for me? What will this church do for my family? What will this church do for my needs?

Well, I am going to be telling you over the next several weeks, "what's in it for you?" I am going to be talking about what God has for you, what God promises you for serving Him, for living for Him, for being His disciple. ...
