Sermon Chasers Episode 3

The guys discuss the closing message in the Focus on the Family series. Working through Luke 14, Matthew 10, and Mark 3, the sermon unpacks Jesus's hard sayings that a disciple must "hate" father, mother, spouse, and children by comparison to loyalty owed to him, that following Jesus can bring conflict rather than peace into a family, and that Jesus redefines family around "whoever does the will of God." The resolution: making God the true top priority, not family, not comfort is precisely what makes someone a better spouse, parent, and family member, since God designed the family in the first place.
