This sermon unpacks Luke 14:25–35 and calls listeners to understand the real cost of discipleship: preferring Christ above family and self, bearing the cross, and faithfully following Him.

It warns against entering the Christian life lightly, encourages sober self-examination, and urges a wholehearted commitment to endure trials and finish the race.

Ultimately, it reminds believers that Christ’s sufficient grace enables and sustains those who count the cost and commit to the journey.
