    Disciple Or Just Part Of The Crowd?

    This is a sermon on discipleship. The thesis is that discipleship demands total surrender that includes: 1.) loving Jesus above all else and 2.) carrying your cross.

    Disciple or Just Part of the Crowd?—LUKE 14:25-33 Jesus appealed to large crowds of people. Today’s text in Luke 15 declares: “Large crowds were traveling with Jesus.” Jesus appealed to the common masses of people. Time and again the Gospels make such announcements as: “A few days later, ...read more

    When it comes to discipleship Jesus reminds us that it is very costly.

    Luke 14:25-33 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple. 27 And anyone who does not carry his cross and ...read more

    Thank God Jesus Didn't Take His Own Advice

    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,418 views

    Luke 14:25-33 is usually seen as Jesus’ advice to his disciples to be committed to him above all. But Jesus didn’t follow that advice and we thank God he didn’t because he went way beyond human logic and calculation to become our Savior and Lord.

    Luke 14:25-33 Thank God Jesus Didn’t Follow His Own Advise Jesus said, “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 ...read more

    The Cost Of Discipleship Of Jesus (2 Of 3) Series

    Discipleship was not simply a program through which Jesus ran the disciples. Discipleship was life.

    Jesus clearly sets the conditions of entrance into discipleship. In Luke 14:25-33 He emphasizes the cost that disciples must pay in following Him. Anyone who wishes to be Christ’s disciples must meet Christ’s demands involving one’s family, self and possessions. Family Jesus declares; “If anyone ...read more

    Marks Of A True Disciple

    Contributed by Scott Sparks on Mar 2, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 17,213 views

    Jesus gave us the example of true discipleship - to forsake all, to follow, & to Love one another. Our world tends to work to dilute the real message. However, if we can take hold of the basic truths, we can remain faithful to Jesus’ instructions.

    Marks of A True Disciple Luke 14:26, 33 (KJV) “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple…So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be ...read more

Luke 9:62 (NKJV) – 57) Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, 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 head.” ...read more

    Grace is free, but discipleship costs. Are we prepared to pay?

    We see adverts all over the place, promising low prices and amazing deals on all sorts of things and products. But on closer examination many of these so-called bargains are to so cheap after all because there are all sorts of hidden extras that have to be paid for.

    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. As they were discussing their faith, one’s hat blew into the water. So he stood up, calmly stepped onto the ...read more
