Facing OppositionSeries: The Call to Discipleship: Luke 9-12 Preacher: David CourtSunday EveningDate: 29th March 2026Passage: Luke 12:4-12
“So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.” (Luke 14:33 NLT) It has been said, “There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.” This statement reminds me of the account in Matthew 19 of the rich young man who came to Jesus seeking answers. Here was a man who, of all men, should have been content and fulfilled. He had great influence and affluence. Yet despite all his accomplishments, there was something missing in his life. He asked, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” (verse 16 NLT). “‘Why ask me about what is good?’ Jesus replied. ‘There is only One who is good. But to answer your question—if you want to receive eternal life, keep the commandments’” (verse 17 NLT). Jesus was not implying that by keeping the Ten Commandments, a person would be saved. Rather, Jesus held the Ten Commandments up as a mirror to show this man his sin. “‘I’ve obeyed all these commandments,’ the young man replied. ‘What else must I do?’” (verse 20 nlt). I think Jesus probably smiled at this. He saw what this man was really all about. So, He took it up a notch and said, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me” (verse 21 NLT). Verse 22 says, “But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions” (NLT). Jesus knew the problem with this young man was that possessions had possessed his soul. But Jesus just as easily could have said something completely different to someone else. What is really holding someone back from Christ and from further spiritual progress can vary from person to person. Jesus revealed the hard truth about discipleship in Luke 14:33: “So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own” (NLT). Nothing should be more valuable, more precious, or more important to us than our relationship with Christ. Jesus drives this point home further in Luke 14:26–27. “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple” (NLT). Nothing should ever be more important to us than our walk with Christ. That’s why it’s a good idea to regularly come before Jesus and ask, “Lord, is there anything in my life that is getting in the way of my relationship with You?” We must be willing to do what the rich young man would not and sacrifice anything that gets in the way of our spiritual growth. Reflection question: What do you think Jesus would say if you asked Him to show you anything that was getting in the way of your relationship with Him?

What if the hardest parts of following Jesus are the parts we don't put in the pamphlet? In Luke 14, Jesus turns to a large crowd and delivers a message that would shrink most churches today. He doesn't promise comfort. He doesn't promise ease. Instead, He tells them to count the cost. In this sermon, Matthew Balentine walks through one of the most challenging teachings of Jesus: What does it mean to “hate” father and mother? Why does Jesus call us to carry our cross? What does counted-cost commitment look like? Why unfinished faith is more dangerous than we think How we subtly treat Jesus like an add-on instead of King Too often, we want our life… and Jesus. Our schedule… and Jesus. Our priorities… and Jesus. But Jesus doesn't accept a supporting role. He takes the throne. This message challenges us to examine whether we are worshiping the blessings more than the Blesser, whether we are following the crowd or surrendering fully, and whether Jesus truly holds first place in our lives. If you've ever wrestled with divided priorities, spiritual complacency, church hurt, or the real cost of commitment, this episode will push you toward deeper discipleship and lasting joy. Scripture: Luke 14:25–33 Speaker: Matthew Balentine Ninth Avenue Church of Christ Take inventory of your life. What are you holding on to that needs to be laid down?

Luke 6:12-16 New King James Version 12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles: 14 Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; 15 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot; 16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

Why do some believers fall away from the faith even when starting strong?In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Tiffany and Pastor Jeff walk through Luke 14:28–35, where Jesus calls His followers to stop, think, and count the cost of discipleship. Jesus makes clear that following Him is not a casual decision but a lifelong commitment.We discuss why public identification with Christ carries real responsibility, how inconsistency undermines Christian witness, and why Jesus' hard words are meant to bring clarity rather than fear. This episode challenges believers to examine whether their faith is merely a label or a lived reality and encourages listeners to choose a faith that lasts and finishes well.What We Discussed:02:10 Counting the CostJesus' command in Luke 14 is framed as a call to pause, reflect, and understand that discipleship is a serious, intentional commitment, not an emotional decision.03:45 The Danger of Starting Strong Without Finishing WellUsing the illustration of an unfinished building, the episode explains how public profession without perseverance leads to inconsistency and damages Christian witness.05:40 Discipleship Is a Life, Not a LabelFaith is described as more than identification. True discipleship reshapes priorities, obedience, and daily living, not just belief.10:50 What Jesus Meant by “Deny Yourself”Jesus' call to take up the cross is unpacked as surrendering control, ambition, and self-rule in exchange for faithful following.12:40 Understanding the Warning About Flavorless SaltJesus' illustration of salt losing its usefulness is explained as a warning about wasted spiritual influence, not the loss of salvation.14:10 Judgment for Believers and Eternal RewardWe discuss the evaluation of a believer's life at the judgment seat of Christ, where faithfulness and obedience are assessed.15:45 Don't Waste Your LifeDiscipleship is framed as living with eternal purpose, building with lasting materials rather than shallow or temporary commitments.“Discipleship isn't about momentary enthusiasm. It's about public identification and lifelong loyalty to Christ.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston

Today’s Bible Verse:“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple." - Luke 14:26 At first glance, Luke 14:26 can feel shocking and even confusing. Why would Jesus use such strong language about family and even our own lives? In this passage, Jesus is teaching that following Him requires absolute devotion—a love for Him so great that every other loyalty pales in comparison. “Want to listen without ads?

True discipleship involves understanding what Jesus meant when He said to come after Him, to deny ourselves, to take up our cross daily, and to follow Him. Coming after Jesus isn't a casual invitation but a call to immediate, decisive action—leaving behind our old way of life and pressing forward without looking back, just as the disciples dropped their nets without hesitation.

In this episode, we continue on with Luke 6:12-26. In these verses we read of Jesus' calling of the 12, healing the multitudes, and the Beatitudes. Together we discuss what can happen when we allow our focus to be Christ alone. Rather than allowing our differences to divide us, when our focus is Jesus alone, even the most diverse and different people can find unity in Him and for the sake of His upside down Kingdom. And further, as we focus on Jesus, establishing our dependence on Him alone, we find true blessing despite the circumstances of life that we may be facing because we have found what/Who is better.
Dr. Chris Campbell, Senior Pastor of Israel Missionary Baptist Church, gives a two-part sermon from Luke 9.
