On this Kickoff Sunday, Father Geoff challenges us to take a hard look at what it means to truly follow Jesus. Preaching on Luke 14:25–33, he explores one of the most difficult teachings in the Gospels—where Jesus tells the crowds they must “hate” their families and even their own lives to be his disciples. What do we do with such hard words?Through stories of cross-country skiing, Bonhoeffer’s legacy, and even a Bill Murray cameo from Stripes, this sermon asks us to consider: What are we holding onto that keeps us from fully following Christ? What comforts, excuses, or easy paths might we need to leave behind?Discipleship isn’t casual. It’s costly. But in letting go, we make room—for grace, for mission, for love. This message marks a new beginning for our parish, and maybe for you, too.✅ New episodes every Sunday by 5PM.🎧 Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform to stay connected—wherever you are.“I appeal to you in love.”
