Send us a textIn this message, Jesus challenges us to truly consider the cost of discipleship. Following Him isn’t casual—it requires surrender, sacrifice, and total commitment.Jesus reminds us that to follow Him, our love for Him must surpass all other loves.He calls us to bear our cross daily, dying to self and living fully for Christ.True discipleship means renouncing our own desires and ambitions to embrace God’s will.Just like building a tower or going to war, we must count the cost before committing—because following Jesus will cost us everything, but it is worth it.Finally, Jesus calls His followers to remain “salty”—useful and influential in His kingdom.The question for us today is: Have you counted the cost of following Jesus—and found Him to be worth it?

Send us a text27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

Send us a textThis message from Obadiah 1 reminds us of three vital truths: first, to immerse ourselves in God’s Word and let it shape our hearts and actions; second, to live with peace and confidence in the wise sovereignty of God; and third, to place our hope in the victorious Messiah, Jesus Christ, whose kingdom will endure forever.

Send us a text5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,[b] 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,[c] being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.

Send us a textIn Luke 14:1-24, Jesus reminds us that His Kingdom is not about status, pride, or paying our way in—it’s about His compassion, humility, and grace. He heals the broken, challenges prideful hearts, and makes it clear that all are welcome at His table.We are urged to:Receive His compassion and show it to others.Walk in humility rather than pride.Recognize our need for grace and be grateful for our place at the table.Accept His invitation with urgency instead of making excuses.Boldly invite others to experience the joy of the Kingdom.Through Jesus, the table is set, the invitation is open, and the seats are ready. The question is—will you take your place and invite others to join you?

Send us a textTherefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.8 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light 9 (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), 10 trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
