Scripture: Luke 9:57–62

1. How can we excercise biblical discernment concerning someone's enthusiastic profession of faith without being legalistic? Look at Christ's response to the first individual.
2. Read over the hymn, "Take My Life and Let it Be." How does this reinforce the message of Luke 9:57–62?
3. How does the gospel both empower and require complete obedience? How do we keep grace at the center of our discipleship?
