When Jesus sees the crowds accompanying him on his way to Jerusalem, he teaches them about the true cost of following him. True Christianity is more than a worldview, more than a moral code, more than religious traditions. Discipleship requires unreserved devotion to Christ.

Luke 14:15-24 | JD Summers
The gospel call goes out to all, inviting us to come to the great feast at God’s table. However, it is only those who respond to Christ’s message who will enter the kingdom, and enjoy the eternal blessing of this feast. In God’s grace, he seeks to fill his house not with the proud and self-righteous, but with the humble, needy, and most unlikely of guests. Those who know this generous Master are to rejoice in his benevolence, and invite all who will listen to come in.

3 John 1-8 | Brian Warne

To accomplish the final command Jesus gave on the earth, the Great Commission, both senders and the sent are essential. God appoints some to go to the ends of the earth and proclaim the good news of the gospel, but how can they go unless someone sends them? Those called to stay must also embrace God’s mission to save people through the ministry of the gospel and participate in this mission by loving, encouraging, and caring for those on the front lines. Let us rejoice in God’s good plan of salvation!

Luke 14:1-14 | JD Summers

Pride rests in the heart of every person, motivating us with the false promise of exaltation and fulfillment. Christ calls us to something better, to humble ourselves so that we will be truly exalted, not in an earthly, human way, but in an eternally beneficial and fulfilling way. Let us embrace the humility of Christ, our servant king, and humble ourselves in love to those around us.

1 Corinthians 15:58 | JD Summers

Scripture calls us to hold fast, to remain firm until the end. But how can we do this? We can only do so by first holding fast to Christ. In the gospel, Christ promises to work all things for good in us. He empowers us to do everything he calls us to do. And we follow his word in the confidence that his resurrection has secured our eternal victory!

Deuteronomy 18:14-19 | Carey Wilson

Ever since the Exodus, God promised to send a prophet like Moses to lead his people. Throughout the history of Israel, people longed for this prophet to speak on behalf of God and represent the people. God sent his true prophet in his son Jesus Christ, and now we have but one task: To listen. Let us listen to what Jesus, our good and loving prophet, has to say to us and keep in step with his message through obedient faith!
