    Demands For Dedicated Discipleship Text: Luke 9:23; 14:27 & 33 Intro: Quite often, when people think about Christ’s twelve disciples, they do so from sort of a romantic, idealistic frame of mind. They think about how wonderful it must have been to walk and talk with Jesus—to hear ...read more

    We feel stuck in responsibilities, trying to maintain something just because we’ve inherited it, and are tempted to think of leadership as image. In a relationship to Christ, responsibility is transformed into freedom.
