Discipleship (Luke 9:49-62) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

This sermon, referencing Luke 9:49-62, addresses the danger of exclusivism within the Christian community, as exemplified by John's desire to stop someone casting out demons in Jesus' name. Jesus' response, and later His teachings on the cost of discipleship, underscore the importance of recognizing God's work even outside our immediate circles and committing fully to the Kingdom of God without looking back. The practical takeaway is to avoid judging others based on their affiliation and to embrace the radical demands of following Christ.
