Luke 14:25-33; Deuteronomy 30:15-20 | Think of a die-hard fan of a sports team. You might think of what that fan wears – proudly reflecting their teams’ colors, and you might think about how that fan acts or spends their time. Committed fans are often recognizable, even by people who don’t know them. So when it comes to being a disciple of Jesus, how recognizable are we? As we conclude our summer focus on following the love of Jesus, join us as we hear challenging words from Jesus, and yet words that lead us to the life and blessing that only God can provide.
