The Gospel of Luke - The Kingdom; Heart Matters

The sermon dives into Luke 14:1-35, exploring Jesus' teachings on humility and discipleship. Teaching Elder, Gabriel Adeneye, examines the scene where Jesus dines with Pharisees and other prominent figures, highlighting the contrast between their self-importance and Jesus' emphasis on humility. He argues that Jesus uses this opportunity to teach about the Kingdom of God, where humility is crucial. He also examines Jesus' teachings on the cost of discipleship, emphasizing that true discipleship involves forsaking all and bearing one's own cross in order to follow Jesus. Finally, Gabriel draws connections to other biblical verses, highlighting the significance of the heart in the eyes of God, and underscores the need to count the cost of following Jesus.
