-- MEMORY VERSE --

“And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, `This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.’ ” Luke 14:27-30

-- BIBLE LESSON --

What are some things you’ve paid for with your own money? (Pause.) There was a cost so you could have that thing. Let’s think about “cost.”

For instance, how much would you be willing to pay from your own money for an ice cream cone? (Pause.) How about if you wanted a [toy that’s popular with your kids] and your parents said you had to spend your own money—could you pay the cost of [name estimated cost]?

Cost doesn’t always have to do with money. If you wanted to learn to play piano, you’d have to pay money to get a piano to practice on, and you’d have to give up playing with friends to go to lessons and to practice every day. Or if you wanted to play a sport, you might need to buy equipment, give up free time to go to practices, and you’d have to work hard to get good at it.
