    When Jesus is telling us that following Him means hating everything and everyone else, He uses strong language.

    Twenty-third Sunday in Course Today’s Gospel is so unnerving, even shocking, that we might in our meditation forget about the other readings. The lessons we can learn from the wisdom books of Scripture are good foundations for our appreciation of the teachings of Jesus. I like to think of our ...read more

Lord, in these moments, may we feel your presence among us. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen. I have to ...read more

    This first week of this “Having Words” series is a great time to remind ourselves of the commitment that we made to make and to be made into disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

    Good morning, family. We're gonna be diving into Luke 14:13-26 today, where Jesus tells us about the Great Banquet, and the cost and compulsion of reaching out to the needy. This scripture is a call to action, a reminder that our faith should drive us to extend God's love to those who are hurting ...read more

    So Why Is Jesus Stopping In The Middle Of The Road And Facing Me?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 2, 2025
     | 186 views

    Here's another opportunity to put yourself in another’s position, and it is critical. You have been following Jesus, for several days or months or years. He is going to Jerusalem with this vast mob following Him, including you. He stops. He turns around.

    Twenty-third Sunday in Course 2025 Let’s suppose you have what you think is a good idea, but you wonder whether other people will agree with you. If your primary concern is to avoid public scorn or controversy or losing a valuable part of your business, you are in need of prudence. You are asking ...read more

    Twenty-Third Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: The Three Cannots Of Discipleship

     | 293 views

    Jesus must have our highest allegiance as the center of our life.

    “Great crowds were traveling with Jesus (Luke 14:25),” we hear. He’d rather they be students, or learners which is what disciple means from the Latin word discipulus. So, he teaches them three “cannots,” which is a great way to weed out the casual observers from the more serious followers because ...read more

    If you want Jesus to teach you how to change your world, rank Him first in your life, risk your life for Him, renounce all you have, and remain committed to Him.

    Everything Is Ready

    Jesus pictures the kingdom as a banquet—an invitation to joy. In Luke 14:7–24 He confronts pride, exposes excuses, and calls for a humble, wholehearted response to His invitation—today, not “someday.”

    The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for this ...read more

    Have you noticed how frequently Jesus is depicted eating? Luke mentions 19 meals, 13 unique to this gospel alone. This reveals something special about Jesus—He valued meals not just for food but as powerful opportunities for ministry, relationship-building, and extending God's kingdom.

    A Glutton If you've read the gospel of Luke - have you noticed just how often Jesus is depicted as eating? It's everywhere - there are 19 meals in Luke, 13 of which are unique to this gospel. In fact, Robert Karris, a Christian author and professor, puts it like this: “At just about ...read more

    True And False Disciples Revealed

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 20, 2026
     | 83 views

    Matthew 7 contains one of the most shocking statements from Jesus about true and false disciples. True disciples are both known by Jesus and belong to Jesus.

    Sermon – True and False Disciples Revealed Scripture Lesson: Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied ...read more

    The Church Mission

    The church is failing in its mission to preach and teach the Gospel to every nation, people, and tongue as Jesus commanded, because we are busy preaching feel-good prosperity-based messages.

    And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; ...read more

    We have our own idea of what the essence of obedience is. But, according to Jesus, just what is it?

    “Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, ’If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross ...read more
