Discipleship (Luke 9:49-62) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Amen

Amen

great preaching

Would it be alright if I posted a clip of this on Instagram? About a 3-4 minute stretch where he talks about rejecting other believers who differ with us on certain things and Martin Luther/Ulrich Zwingli at the Marburg Colloquy?

The "Lord´s Recovery" or "Local Church" erroneously teaches that God approves of only one way to establish a valid church. They claim there should be only one church per city, like there was in the 1st century: the church in Ephesus, the church in Corinth, so today - the church in Los Angeles, the church in London. Anything else is a division and not blessed by God.

That might personally be the most important sermon I've ever heard.

Roman Catholics and Lutherns make themselves cannibals. Which was a false charge made against first century Christians that they ate Christ's body and drank his blood. Jesus didn't mean "this s my body" literally any more than he meant "I am the gate" He was not a piece of wood hanging between two blanks. or "I am the good shepherd" he wasn't actually a shepherd. Its all symbolic,

"Discipleship (Luke 9:49-62)"

(Sorry for the VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be espoused)

Kind belated Sir...in your "foreword" you wrote this...

"True disciples of Christ may stumble, they may lose resolve from time to time, but their face is set in one direction: to finish the course of following Him."

Dear belated Sir, you are too light on Jesus' Disciples! IE:

First: these are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. Second...

Where are the "writings" of these disciples in the bible? Andrew, Phillip, Bartholomew, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon Cananaean and Judas. What did they ever do; that is in history? Huh?

Why just Mathew, John and his brother James? Huh?

And why did a NON disciple of Jesus named "Paul;" wrote 13 books in the NT? Huh? I'll tell you why he became the greatest "Messenger" of Jesus; there has EVER been! For even John was far less than the "wisdom" of Paul. Why?

Because Jesus' patience died out; with those 10* rascals (so-called disciples). So He took the meanest, egotistical and arrogant Jew; and made him into the most "righteous" man ever; except "Abraham" and "Moses". plus, Paul IS the most quoted writer since Creation in ANY genre' of writing! May Jesus rest his precious soul.

End of Story and I rest me case...

...In any case brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always.

* NOT even James (the brother of John) because He preached; that one MUST "work" and not just "Faith"; to be saved. Thus, not even he realized what Jesus really meant. But Paul set him straight; when he said, "NO works play a role in Salvation" OSAS! AMEN!

Believe it or not! May Jesus have mercy on James; and all the other disciples; that never understood Jesus' truth. And that satan's "template goes for 99% of the Pastors ever since. Sad, but OH so True!

Amen!...🙏.

This message is to me, what it is to catch a thief in action 🤭. The pastor of the church that I attend is back from a travel and would like to see me at church today, but I got a colleague of mine who lost her father. I have chosen to assist my colleague, I feel so convicted and guilty right now. 🤭 I repent!!!

Brilliant Sproul

Keep up the good fight, and give praise always to Jesus

NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST,………..WHY?,………. BECAUSE HE NEVER GAVE UP ON US,……..AMEN
