Consider the Cost :: PARABLES

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 4/27/25 by Pastor Steve Shields.

Listen as Pastor Steve goes through the parable found in Luke 14:28-33.

This message is for the disciples. All of Jesus followers are disciples. We are all disciples of someone or something.

Jesus wants us to do three things. Consider “Do I want to be a disciple.” Consider what it means to be a disciple. Consider again “Do I want to be a disciple.”

What does being a disciple mean? It means having a radical set of priorities. It means setting aside less than honorable desires (sin). It means embracing the cost of discipleship. It means surrendering to the King.

There is a beauty in discipleship. It is sad that humankind is marked by sin. It is sad that people refuse Jesus’ invitation. But there is a beauty in seeing the Spirit work in lives, turning our hearts to Christ and finding salvation.

Aggiornamento

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 4/6/25 by Rev. Brian Smeal.

Listen as Rev. Brian Smeal speaks on Psalm 98:1-7.

There are songs of celebration, songs of victory, songs of wonder.

Praise God for the things He has done. Praise admires the individual behind the accomplishment.

Worship God for the things He is doing. Worship is the connection of the human heart to the person of God. Worship is the response of the soul to the attributes and activities of a holy God. Worship is an experience, not an expression.

Exalt God for the things He is going to do!
