In this sermon Throwing Your Life Away, we learn of some very powerful lessons on commitment. It is commitment, not talent or resources that will place you among God’s greatest. Our commitment is being watched by God even when we do not suspect it. The text states that Jesus sat over against the treasury and watched what was being given. This message is about far more than money. It's about how you must throw your life away to a cause that's greater than the soft, and very empty, American dream. Life's real satisfaction comes when you throw your life away and give in to the call of the fifth cross.
