    While all believers are called to discipleship, Jesus shows that many are not willing to pay the price.

    ILLUSTRATION: Discipleship Two longstanding church members were in a boat fishing with a new Christian. Passing the time, each was talking about his fervent faith and devotion to God.

    This message speaks to us becoming givers, rather than just takers...

    This week is a big week for many families. You’ve been making plans. You’ve invited family over - or maybe you are traveling to see them. The kids will be out of school. Chances are, most of us will do pretty much the same thing. We’ll gather, cook, eat, and rest - with some football thrown in ...read more

    God’s invitation to the Great Feast (God’s kingdom) is free but it is costly as it demands that we put Jesus above all else.

    We continue this second week of our 40 day journey through Lent as we walk with Jesus to the cross. Last week I reminded us of the scripture passage from Luke 9:51 which said “When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.” Jesus, knowing full well what would ...read more

    Jesus is not interested in gathering a bunch of hangers-on... his desire is that those who follow him be totally devoted to him and willing to reconfigure their family values, self-interests and their hold on stuff.

    Title: Jesus Isn’t Looking for Groupies Text: Luke 14:25-33 Thesis: When we decide to be a follower of Christ we must reconfigure our family values, our need to look out for #1 and our hold on stuff.

    Jesus calls his followers to deny themselves and carry the cross. What does this look like? What does it mean to deny ourselves in a culture and society based on consumerism?

    Luke 14:25-33 “Carrying the Cross” INTRODUCTION Have you noticed that we appear to be buried under an avalanche of forms? When Faye had her shoulder surgery done this spring she sign enough forms to have killed two or perhaps three large trees. The paper work involved in ...read more

    Jesus says, “If anyone comes to me and doesn’t hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters--and yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26).

    Intro In the Gospel reading for today, we possibly find Jesus at the height of His success, as we measure it. Never had He enjoyed such large crowds. People flocked to Him--and the numbers just grew larger and larger as He got closer to Jerusalem. Yet, Jesus has to ruin it by preaching a bunch ...read more
