Valuable?

I am currently preparing/reviewing my Sunday sermon/teaching for the body. The title is: "The Value of the gospel," in which I argue that --> "The supreme value of the Gospel warrants our willingness to suffer even to the point of death that God’s mission may be fulfilled." In a culture in which we know the "cost of everything and the value of nothing," we Christian Americans have become convinced that we have the "God-given" right to enjoy safety and comfort at all cost. In fact we are so convinced of such that many of us "Baptist" would rather give "our hard earned dollar" to Missions rather than face the uncomfortable, dangerous, inconvenient, and costly conditions of traveling within or without the US to proclaim the message of redemption. Giving, only as a means to preserve ones "comfort and safety" while "being involved," is inadequate and insufficient to glorify God. The mission of God, the gospel to the world, warrants our total abandonment both physically and financially. My concern here is that we value "comfort and safety" more than the gospel of Jesus Christ. We treasure Christ somewhat but not supremely. Not all can travel, but all can value or treasure the gospel leading to being abandoned to God's missionary endeavor. The supreme joy of the Christian residing in American will NOT be found in "comfort and safety," but rather in Christ, in fully participating in God's Mission to make worshipers of Himself in all nations, even our own. The Value of the Gospel warrants this.
