About this episode

This episode explores the balance between Jesus' generosity and the sacrifices required in discipleship, focusing on Luke 14.

New Testament Themes E2 — Many who are intrigued by Jesus of Nazareth have a difficult time balancing his overwhelming generosity and grace with his challenging call to discipleship and making serious sacrifices. So how do these two aspects of Jesus go together? This second message in a six-part series looks at some of the very challenging things Jesus says about counting the cost of following him in Luke 14. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on October 7, 2012.
