Is Jesus Your Priority or Your Lord?

Is Jesus Your Priority or Your Lord?4 days ago32 min

<p>Is Jesus your top priority, or is He your Lord? Jesus says anyone who does not put Him above family and even their own life cannot be His disciple, and that He is asking for far more than first place.</p><p>In the fourth message of “Jesus Defines Disciple,” Pastor Allen Cason walks through Luke 14:25-35 and the hard words of Jesus about counting the cost. He explains what Jesus means when He says to “hate” father and mother, wife and children (and why the Bible sometimes uses that word as a comparison), then uses a simple jar of rocks, gravel, and sand to show why making God an “A” priority still leaves Him as one rock among many.</p><p>Jesus does not want to be the biggest rock in your life. He wants to be the jar everything else lives inside of. The message shows what that looks like on a Monday morning: how your time, your family, and even your own life change when you stop trying to fit Jesus into your life and start fitting your life into Jesus. It closes with the difference between Savior and Lord, John Wesley’s Covenant Prayer, and the question every disciple has to answer: who gets the final say?</p>
