Mark 1 and Luke 14
This week our lesson is entitled “A Costly Call.” Three questions to get us started.
Why Us? Have you ever wondered why God calls human beings? Couldn’t God work better on God’s own? How do you understand God’s covenant with us?
God’s Grace is Free, But Costly. Our lesson has some harsh language about “hating” fathers, mothers, and others. Doesn’t that break some basic commandments? Why would Jesus say such disturbing things to his disciples and to us?
Counting the Cost. Jesus tells two “parables” about counting the cost: one, a builder; the other, a king. What’s your experience of counting the cost of discipleship – before, during, and after God’s call?
That should get us started, if not finished! Hope to see you Sunday.
