This sermon explores the challenging call to follow Jesus unwaveringly, drawing on biblical passages and the notion of addiction as a metaphor for spiritual commitment. The speaker references Vernon Johnson's book 'I'll Quit Tomorrow' to highlight the importance of making a decisive and unconditional commitment to the values of Christianity. The discussion emphasizes the difficulty of embodying these values in real life and challenges the audience to examine their own levels of dedication and change their direction today towards a more radical love and service in the journey to Jerusalem.
