Kingdom Possibilities and Costs (Luke 9:51-62)
Description
In this episode we move into Luke 9:51-62 where we see Jesus and His disciples rejected by Samaritans, and also two interactions with others about the cost of following after Him. Together we start by exploring the importance of prioritizing people over principles. When we choose to keep relationships at the center, we leave room for the Spirit of Jesus to keep working in the lives of those who may hold different convictions. From there, we unpack some of the common barriers that can keep us from fully participating in God’s Kingdom here and now—our desire for security, our struggle to surrender control, and our divided loyalties. Jesus’ invitation to follow Him is immediate, urgent, and all-encompassing. The real question is: will we answer that call and step fully into His Kingdom here and now?
