A Chapter-by-Chapter Journey Through the Gospel of Luke



A Call That Changes Everything

Jesus never hid the cost of following Him. In the Gospel of Luke, discipleship is not framed as a moment, a membership, or a title... it is a daily decision. This Luke Discipleship Series is an invitation to move beyond intention into obedience, beyond belief into transformation.

Rooted in Luke 9:23 and woven throughout Luke’s Gospel, this series explores what it truly means to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus in real life. Not just in church... but in work, leadership, family, suffering, and purpose.

If you’ve ever wondered what following Jesus actually looks like on a Monday morning, this series is for you.

At the time, that yes may not seem extraordinary. You say yes to a new job, yes to a relationship, yes to a responsibility that appears manageable at first. Only later do you realize how much that decision will stretch you, reshape you, and lead you into experiences you never anticipated. The same pattern appears throughout Scripture. Many of God’s most s...
