Sermon Overview
In this climactic message, Reidhead brings all the "costs" together into a single decision: the "Great Commitment" of the will to the Lordship of Christ. He argues that there is no such thing as a "partial disciple"—one is either fully under Christ’s authority or not at all. He describes this commitment as a "covenant of blood" where the believer signs over every area of life to the King, finding true freedom only in total bondage to Him.
Key Principles
Lordship Definition:Accept "Lordship" as the absolute authority of a King over His subject.
No Negotiation: Stop trying to "bargain" with God; offer Him an unconditional "Yes" before He even speaks.
Great Commitment: Make a definitive act of the will to sign your life over to Christ's control.
The Blank Check: Give God your life as a "blank check" for Him to fill in the destination and the cost.
The Blank Check: Give God your life as a "blank check," allowing Him to fill in the costs and destinations.
The Easy Yoke: Find the "rest" Jesus promised by coming under total submission to His light and easy yoke.
Commission Consequence: Accept that total commitment to Christ automatically includes a commitment to His Global Harvest.
Final Appeal: Answer the internal question: "Will you go with this Man?" with a definitive, life-long "Yes."
