Sermon: Serving Families is Discipling / Scripture: Luke 9:23-26
Speaker: Dr. Jason T. Atchley - January 24, 2021
Luke 9:23-26: 23 Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will save it. 25 For what does it benefit someone if he gains the whole world, and yet loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and the holy angels.
Bonhoeffer said, “Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you your life.”
