The Cost of Discipleship
Mark 9:2-9
Sermon
by Charley Reeb

I get a kick out of bumper stickers. Whenever I see an interesting one I always take a glance at the person who is driving the car. I want to get a glimpse of the person who would drive around with a crazy bumper sticker. I’m sure I am not the only one who has ever done that!

Here are a few bumper stickers that I have seen or heard about over the years that always make me laugh:

  • What If The Hokey Pokey Is What It’s All About?
  • Driver Carries No Cash — He’s Married!
  • I’m Retired — Go Around Me!
  • Normal People Scare Me!
  • Save Our Planet — It’s The Only One With Chocolate!
  • I Get Along With God Just Fine; It’s His Fan Clubs I Can’t Stand!
  • Do You Follow Jesus This Close? (for the English teachers, it should read “closely”)

That last one is a good one. It’s funny but like all good humor…
