Rev. Bill Britt preaching
Faith That Cannot Be Distracted
– In Luke 9:51-62, Jesus sets His face toward Jerusalem, fully committed to His mission, and calls His followers to a similar undivided focus. He challenges those who would follow Him to count the cost, warning that true discipleship requires leaving behind distractions, excuses, and divided loyalties. This sermon will encourage us to cultivate a faith that stays steady and clear, even when the path is difficult. We are reminded that following Christ means placing God above all else, trusting that the journey with God is worth every sacrifice.
