Does Jesus Expect That Much?

Preacher: Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol, PastorScripture: Luke 14:25-33This week, the gospel writer of Luke beckons us to ponder the question "Does Jesus Expect That Much?" as Jesus tells a large crowd of people following him that they must hate their parents, spouses, siblings, children and life itself; carry their cross, and give up all their possessions. It's a high bar for discipleship—one we often struggle to meet. What, then, is actually expected from us? Can we waver a bit and still be a faithful disciple? Join us on this week as we struggle with this text and the expectations of discipleship.
