Jesus said: “those of you who do not give up
everything you have cannot be my disciples.” (Luke
14:33)

The First Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 30:v15-end.
15
See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death
and destruction. 16 For I command you today to love the
LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep
his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and
increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land
you are entering to possess.
17
But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient,
and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods
and worship them, 18 I declare to you this day that you
will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the
land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
19
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses
against you that I have set before you life and death,
blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and
your children may live 20 and that you may love the LORD
your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the
LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the
land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob.
This is the Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God

25
Large crowds were travelling with Jesus, and turning to
them he said: 26 ‘If anyone comes to me and does not hate
father and mother, wife and children, brothers and
sisters – yes, even their own life – such a person cannot be
my disciple. 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and
follow me cannot be my disciple.
28
‘Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you
first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have
enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the
foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees
it will ridicule you, 30 saying, “This person began to build
and wasn’t able to finish.”
31
‘Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another
king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is
able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming
against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he
will send a delegation while the other is still a long way
off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way,
those of you who do not give up everything you have
cannot be my disciples.
Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord All: Praise to you, O
Christ.
Sermon
A thought to consider this week: We must count the cost
of being a disciple before jumping up to follow Jesus…
You can use this space to write down any thoughts during
the sermon
The Peace
During the peace, the children will return from the crèche
and Sunday School
Offertory hymn: Be thou my vision – 51
Your offerings will be received during this
hymn. The donation bags are for the work of this
church. The baskets - are for charitable giving to
meet local and international needs. The monies
we give are more than a contribution to a church
or a charity, but it represents a thanksgiving for
all that God has given.
We turn to Eucharistic Prayer F (on page 198).
There will be music played during the serving of
communion. When communion has ended, we
will sing our post communion song.
