Ep 41 | Understanding the True Cost of Discipleship

In this episode of A Closer Look Podcast, hosted by Valley Center Community Church, Pastors Jason Smith and David Wojnicki dive deep into the teachings of Jesus recorded in Luke chapters 14 and 15.

Discussing the true cost of discipleship, Jason and David explore how Jesus challenges His followers to prioritize their relationship with Him above all others, stressing that being mesmerized by miracles is not enough. They unpack the concepts of discipleship and salvation, contrasting them with the notion of 'easy believism.'

Moving on to the parables of the lost coin, lost sheep, and the story of the two sons, they highlight God's profound desire to save the lost, illustrated through Jesus' interactions with sinners and tax collectors. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of the serious commitment required to truly follow Jesus and be part of His kingdom.
