From the Pulpit of Gospel Light

Homebodies, Undertakers & Plowmen | Pastor Justin Cooper

What does it actually mean to follow Jesus? Not claim him. Not carry a Bible. Not put "Christ follower" in your bio. Actually follow — the way you follow a GPS, a speed limit, or a set of rules. Total obedience. Total submission. Total surrender. In this message, Pastor Justin Cooper walks through Luke 9:57–62 and identifies three types of would-be disciples: the Homebody who won't follow unless it's comfortable, the Undertaker who puts carnal things first, and the Plowman who starts strong but gets distracted and looks back.

One Last Walk Together | Pastor Justin Cooper

There's going to be a final conversation. A final hug. A final drive home from church with the people you love. Most of us know that, but we don't live like we know it.
