    One of the things that we are impressed by today, is numbers.

    When we drive down the highway and see a lot of cars in the parking lot of a restaurant, we assume that it is a great place to eat. Many of us would admit that we have eaten at places where the parking lot was filled with cars, but we were not impressed with the food or the service. We make that ...read more

    Jesus tells the disciples He will have to suffer and Peter rebukes HIm. Jesus tells them that unless they deny themselves & take their cross, they'll be rejected. The power of God only flows into a crucified life. Have you surrendered all yet?

    Jesus did not sugarcoat it when He was pointing out that following Him would not be a bed of roses! Being a disciple could not be and cannot be taken lightly because being a disciple is to be totally committed!

    COUNTING THE COST Text: Luke 9:57 -62 Luke 9:57  As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58  And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his ...read more

    When we embrace a relationship with Jesus, we end up calculating the cost of following Him. I use a current political story to show not everything is as we think it is.

Most of you will recall that there was an incident in Washington DC, in which some students from a Catholic school were chastised, and that’s being gentle for how they treated a Native American who ...read more

But now in Luke 14:25, Jesus returns to address the crowds. In doing so, he clarified what is involved in following him. ...read more

    What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and what will it cost you? In this sermon we learned that denying our selves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus, means letting go of self-preservation, self-determination, and self-identity.
