Summary

In Luke 14:25–33, Jesus challenges the crowds—and us—with stark words about discipleship: “Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.” What does it mean to “hate” family, give up possessions, and count the cost? In this sermon, Rev. Dr. Jason Storbakken explores the cultural context of Jesus’ radical call, the danger of finding identity in politics, possessions, or social status, and the invitation to reorder our lives through the costly yet life-giving way of the cross.
