On November 4, 2026, a message was shared reflecting on the Gospel passage from Luke 14:25-33. In this scripture, Jesus addresses a large crowd following Him, emphasizing the need for total commitment to discipleship. He states that one must love Him more than their own family and even their own life to be His disciple.

Jesus further illustrates the cost of following Him by comparing it to a builder who must calculate the expenses before starting a construction project. He warns that failing to do so may lead to ridicule for not completing the work. Additionally, He draws a parallel with a king who must consider whether he can defeat another king in battle before going to war.

Ultimately, Jesus concludes that anyone who does not renounce all their possessions cannot be His disciple.
