PRAYERS AND CONCERNS
OF THE PEOPLE
THE SCRIPTURE
READING: Luke 14:25-33
Now
large crowds were traveling with him; and he turned and said to them,
“Whoever
comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children,
brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.
Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. For
which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and
estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise,
when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it
will begin to ridicule him, saying, ‘This
fellow began to build and was not able to finish.’
Or what king, going out to wage war against another king, will not sit
down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the
one who comes against him with twenty thousand? If he cannot, then, while
the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for the terms
of peace. So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not
give up all your possessions.”

Carrying, Rev. Larry Rye
