Welcome to GracePoint Church! Our purpose is to connect real people to the real God, and we believe studying the Bible is one of the best ways to do that. We are working this summer through chapters 9-10 in our study through the Gospel of Luke. In this sermon from Luke 9:51-62, we focus on four mistaken beliefs that many people have when it comes to following Jesus. If these wrong-headed notions go uncorrected for long, they undermine our faith and sabotage our commitment to the Lord.
