Opening question: What is the most costly thing you have ever purchased?
Read Luke 14:25-35 as a group, and then again by yourselves.
Word list:
disciples – followers.
cross – the way they killed criminals during the days of the Roman Empire.
tower – a tall building, or an extra-tall part of a building.
salt – for preserving meat (before refrigeration was invented), or for flavoring food.
Discussion Questions:
1. Who is Jesus talking to, and what is he talking about?
2. How can Jesus ask people to “hate” their family members?
3. What does it mean to “carry our cross”?
4. What’s the hardest thing in life to give up for Jesus?
5. What do you think is the cost of following Jesus in your culture?
6. Have you decided to follow Jesus? If so, what is, or has been, the cost for you?
