Set sail on a great adventure and learn through faith with Jesus Christ. Our Lord never leaves us or forsakes us in the storms of life. We need to trust in Jesus through all seasons of life.

God gave everything to us when he died on the cross. He gave total surrender of His good soil to amend the thorny, rocky, and hard soil of our hearts. He gave us perfect love.

Repent, get honest and know that our partial obedience means nothing. Let us turn from our wicked ways and live by faith. Only when we humble ourselves, we may receive the righteousness of God by faith.

In today's text Jesus is revealing to His disciples and the other people that are listening that they need to be stones of faith not impressed by the stones of a religious or political system.

Faith is not passive! Faith is fight! The world, the devil, our own flesh war against us constantly. The fight is to remember to claim victory in faith through this life's battles! Many lose the battle because they are wasting their energy fighting the wrong battle. And then still others lose it because they do not recognize they are in a battle. In Luke 13 we explore how Jesus is teaching us how to win.

Letting go and trusting in Gods grace can sometimes be challenging, we like to be in control. We try to fix problems ourselves but there are problems in life that we just can’t fix ourselves. In this message we look at a man who tried to create his own Utopia without God, it looked to everyone including himself like he was doing good, but was really devastating to real life, the life God offers us in relationship to Him.

We often fall into this trap where we either consider ourselves to be utterly self-sufficient or we consider ourselves to be lacking. Either way we are setting our sights in the wrong direction, focused on either judging ourselves or others rather than turning to God for grace.

In Luke 17:11-19, Luke tells the story of 10 lepers who were healed. Nine of the lepers went away and did not thank Jesus. Only one leper came back to thank Jesus. Jesus said to this leper, "Your faith has saved you." The leper goes back to gratitude. In this message Pastor Ken asks the question, why do we need to go back to gratitude? Life can be full of disappointments. We live in a false world, and this greatly affects our attitude towards gratitude. And we have to keep reminding ourselves to repent or go back to gratitude.

The reason some cannot be a disciple is not because they are unworthy, it is because they are unwilling to pay the cost of Love. Jesus offers us free the gift of forgiveness but in our text in this message in Luke 14 Jesus makes it very clear that there is a cost to being his disciple. Jesus grace is free but it is not cheap.

Will you trust and serve Jesus no matter the cost? Or will you change your mind when friends and family choose not to do so? We must choose to have faith in our Savior even if the choice seems unpopular.
