Summary
Luke 9 presents Jesus calling and equipping the twelve disciples to preach the gospel and heal the sick, demonstrating that God qualifies the called rather than calling the qualified. Through teachings on the transfiguration, demon possession, and the cost of discipleship, the sermon emphasizes that following Jesus requires radical commitment, humble service, and willingness to lose one's life for Christ's sake.
Highlights
God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called. God chooses the most unqualified people oftentimes to do a miraculous work.
If it's not costing you comfortability, resources, loss of friendships to follow Jesus, you might not be following the right Jesus, because it costs something to follow him.
There's no competition in the kingdom of God. We're all on the same team. Why are we jealous of other people doing work for God, big or small?
