Hook: Which bumps on the Christian journey frustrate believers the most?

Book: Jesus used several metaphors to drive home the cost of following Him faithfully—family relationships, personal sacrifice, building a tower, and going to war. The result of paying the price is the opportunity to permeate society like salt for the Lord.

Jesus knew that many would only want to take and not give back. If they only knew that they would get more than they pay!
