Third sermon in our series in Luke’s Gospel, On the road with Christ.

Why do we follow Jesus? As we seek to follow Jesus, we need to check our baggage, to check our motives, our desires. If our motive is simply eternity I comfort,

Bonhoeffer says, “Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ”, and also, “When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.”

We go on the road with Jesus, because we get to follow the king, even to the cross.

Humble service is a way of checking our desires.

Check our passports, our “tribal links”. What of people who are not one of us!

God’s kingdom is defined by the king. Come on the road and discover what this king is all about.

Speaker: Ron Irving.
