Goals and Their Cost

In this week's sermon, Paul Lee, an organizational psychologist and member at 180, invites us to reflect on our goals and aspirations in life. We set goals in life because it's human to want to accomplish a lot, but we have a finite amount of resources to do so. Our goals should be driven by our values and big enough to pull us through smaller ones. When we consider the cost of following Jesus as a goal, we learn how many failed to do so. But choosing to follow Jesus does not mean depending on our own resources to obey what he commands. Instead, it means depending on Him to enable us to do His will because without Him, we cannot do much on our own.
