September 7, 2025 - Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost - The Cost of Discipleship

Luke 14:25-33 RSVThis message explores Jesus’ teachings on the cost of discipleship, emphasizing that following Christ requires total commitment—even above family, comfort, and personal ambition. It contrasts the religious systems of Jesus’ time with his radical message of direct access to God. Through storytelling, humor, and cultural references (like football games and commercials), the speaker illustrates how values shape our choices and how true discipleship demands sacrifice, perseverance, and loyalty.
