Navigating decisions

Luke 14.25-33

While travelling with a large crowd, Jesus tells them that following him involves difficult choices. He speaks of conflict, renouncing family ties and economic security, and of ‘carrying the cross’. He gives two brief illustrations (parables) that caution against making a hasty decision.
It’s easy to allow our faith to be an added extra to our busy lives. This week’s readings challenge us to explore whether we are willing to accept the consequences of following Jesus, even to the cross. By what standards do we live? What truly influences us? And is God’s way evident in our whole life?

This week we explore the choices and consequences of travelling with Jesus.
