📖 What happens when following Jesus stops being comfortable and starts being costly? In this powerful expository sermon from John 6:60-63, discover why many of Jesus's own disciples walked away when the truth got hard.

Are you a true disciple or just a follower after the flesh? This biblical preaching from Pilgrim Baptist Church tackles the uncomfortable reality that hard truth reveals who the real disciples are. When Jesus set the terms of discipleship in John chapter 6, even His followers began to murmur and complain—not because they didn't understand, but because obedience would cost them something.

Pastor Fortunato delivers a convicting message on Christian living that exposes why most people seek an exit from hard sayings rather than an explanation. Through careful Bible teaching, you'll understand:

✓ Why the greatest opposition to biblical truth comes from within the church

✓ The difference between honest questions from humble hearts and murmuring from pride

✓ How the flesh profits nothing, but the Spirit gives life

✓ Why spiritual understanding matters more than physical sight

✓ The power of God's living, breathing Word to transform your life

This sermon on discipleship challenges comfortable Christianity and calls believers to stop serving God in the flesh and start living by the Spirit. If you've ever struggled with hard biblical truths or wondered why following Jesus feels costly, this expository preaching will speak directly to your heart.

The Word of God is quick and powerful—are you ready to receive it? This Baptist preaching doesn't soften the message but presents scriptural truth that can change your spiritual life forever.
