The People of the Kingdom | Luke 9:51-62

Luke 9:51-62 - Seth Kalhagen challenges us to examine what it truly means to follow Jesus—not just in word, but in wholehearted surrender. As Jesus turns toward Jerusalem, He meets both rejection and enthusiasm, but He tests the motives of would-be followers. Each encounter highlights the cost of discipleship: giving up comfort, reordering priorities, and holding even the dearest things in life—family, reputation, financial security—with open hands. Seth invites us to reflect honestly: Are we following Jesus on our terms, or His? Do we trust His goodness enough to let go of control? The call to follow is costly, but it leads to something eternal—life with Christ.
