"#Luke 14: #Faith, #Humility, and #Counting the #Cost with #Yahuah and #Yahusha"

Join us as we dive into Luke 14 and break down Yahusha’s teachings on faith, humility, and the cost of discipleship in a way that's relevant today.
Faith and Healing: In Luke 14:4, Yahusha heals a man and lets him go, showcasing immense faith. Imagine if we had even a small amount of that faith—like a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20)—enough to walk into hospitals and heal everyone. For those who can, we’d love to hear your stories. The rest of us are on a journey to grow our faith together. Contrast this with televangelists who have been exposed for pretending to have such powers just to get money from the vulnerable.
Humility: Yahusha tells us to take the lowest seat at a banquet so we might be honored later (Luke 14:10). This is like when Miss Colombia was mistakenly crowned Miss Universe in 2019, only to have it taken back and given to Miss Philippines link to video. It’s a reminder to stay humble to avoid public embarrassment.
Counting the Cost: Yahusha’s parable about the great banquet (Luke 14:18-20) reminds us of the excuses people make. This is similar to the parable of the weeds that choke off growth from Yahuah's "lukewarm" followers (Matthew 13:22). Yahusha calls us to invite the poor, crippled, lame, and blind (Luke 14:21), emphasizing that those shunned by society may actually be angels testing us (Hebrews 13:2).
These stories urge us to think carefully before we commit to following Yahuah. Reflect on the lessons from Judges about considering our vows seriously to ensure our commitment is genuine and deep, like seeds sown on good soil (Matthew 13:5-6).
