The sermon is from Luke 14:25-35– “Crowd Control”.  “Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, ….” – Luke 14:25

Jesus, on several occasions, practiced “crowd control.” We see a record of this in Luke 14:25-35. We can also see that he does the same thing in John Chapter 6, verses 60-71. Church growth experts probably would not have him on their board of directors. But Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He “shoots straight” with his early disciples and he does the same with us. He knows that, “Fierce may be the conflict, strong may be the foe ….” He prepares us for the reality of Christian difficulty and persecution. But the hymn quoted above goes on to say, “… round his standard ranging, victory is secure; for his truth unchanging makes the triumph sure.”
