Tom Douthit explores what those words reveal about Jesus' heart, why He calls us to wholehearted devotion, and how reme...

Following Jesus isn't just a decision. It's a daily surrender. In Luke 9:51-62, Jesus makes it clear that discipleship comes with a cost. He calls His followers to stop looking back, keep their eyes fixed on Him, and trust that what He offers is greater than anything they leave behind. This message explores what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly and why He is always worth the cost....

Jesus often works in ways we don't expect. In Luke 9:37-50, the disciples repeatedly misunderstand what Jesus is teaching, relying on their own strength, chasing status, and drawing unnecessary lines between people.

In Luke 9, the disciples experience both success and failure as they follow Jesus. But in this passage, Jesus exposes something deeper than a lack of skill or effort.

Through these moments, Jesus reshapes what it means to follow Him. Faith is...

What does it really mean to live a great life? The world tells us greatness comes through success, recognition, influence, and achievement.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In Luke 9:18-27, Jesus asks the most important question every person must answer: "Who do you say that I am?"

If Jesus is truly King, then following Him is more th...

Through the sending of the disciples, Herod’s opposition, and the feedi...
