Perpetua, The Martyrs & the Cost of Discipleship: Luke 14
Description
Jesus said, “Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” What does that mean for us today?
In this sermon, Pastor James Huenink of First Lutheran Church explores Jesus’ call to discipleship in Luke 14 and shares powerful stories of Christians who gave up everything to follow Christ:
Perpetua – a young mother in North Africa who refused to deny her faith
The Salzburg Lutherans – who left their homes, land, and livelihood rather than abandon the Gospel
The Malagasy Martyrs – believers in Madagascar who sang hymns as they faced death
And above all, Jesus Himself, who bore the cross for our salvation
Discover what it means to count the cost, carry the cross, and find life in Christ alone.
