You Cannot Be My Disciple

You cannot be Jesus' disciple. Are those words offensive? We all live in an age where the words "no one can tell me if I am a follower of Jesus, or how to follow Jesus... who are you to judge me?" are more often used in a "church setting" than words of praise to God. But wait! Does the one to Whom those words are ascribed carry any weight? Luke 14 has excellent weight, particularly for the one who claims to be a disciple of Jesus.

Series Information

Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
