Counting the Cost of Discipleship (Luke 14:25-33) - Rev Bosco Peters

This sermon wrestles with one of Jesus’ most challenging sayings: “Whoever does not hate father, mother, and even life itself cannot be my disciple.” Jesus shocks his hearers into attention. The message is not about despising people or possessions, but about releasing the grip of possessiveness and focusing on the journey to union with God. To follow Christ is to travel light, keeping God as our ultimate goal and measure of value.
