Yesterday's sermon, which I turned into a blog post with accompanying audio, video, and notes:

Romans 11:22 says, “Behold the kindness and severity of God,” which is illustrated in this parable. The faithful servants experience the master’s kindness. They were commended, put in charge of cities, and will spend eternity in heaven. The unfaithful servant was rebuked, called wicked, and his mina was taken from him and given to someone else. And this is nothing compared to what the master’s enemies experienced: they were brought before him, slaughtered, and will spend eternity in hell.

Crowds followed Jesus everywhere—but crowds aren’t the same as disciples.
In the Gospels, people could be near Jesus physically while being far from Him spiritually. Jesus defines discipleship clearly: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23; 14:27).
In this message, we look at the difference between being part of the crowd and truly belonging to Christ, and how Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross behind Jesus becomes a living picture of discipleship (Luke 23:26–27).

Question: Are you in the crowd—or are you following Christ?
