Luke: The COST of Discipleship

Luke: Cost of Discipleship

April 26, 2026

Luke 16:19-31

19“There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house— 28for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

WHAT'S HAPPENING

Mission Lunch with Trevor & Tanya Kravick

Sunday, May 3 | 11:45 AM | Sprecher Road Campus

Join us for a light lunch and a time of sharing with Trevor & Tanya Kravick, one of our DCC-supported missionaries. They will share about their work and then there will be a time of Q&A. The lunch will begin after the 10:30 AM service in the Activity Center. Please RSVP to help us plan for food!

Bruised Camels Lunch

Sunday, May 3 | 12-1:30 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

There are not a lot of places where you can have open and honest conversations about some of the challenges and opportunities to steward God’s wealth for God’s purposes. Whether you have wealth or are building wealth, this is a lunch designed for people who are interested in learning how to be “rich toward God” (Luke 12:21). It’s not a fundraising lunch or a give-to-the-church lunch. It’s a place for constructive conversation among people who want to honor the Lord with their possessions.

A Night of Prayer

Thursday, May 7 | 6:30-7:30 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

One of our values is PERSISTENT PRAYER—devoting ourselves to praying continually, and we have an exciting opportunity for all three campuses to practice that together. Come together with us for an evening of prayer, coinciding with the National Day of Prayer.

Love This City!

May 13-16 | Various Locations

At Door Creek Church, we have a long history of serving our community. Join us for Love This City, where we’ll share the love of Christ by serving together in our very own neighborhoods! There will be many opportunities to extend compassion, justice and mercy with organizations that are doing great work in our city. Let's get out there and serve! Then on Sunday, May 17, join us at your campus to celebrate our week of serving!

Senior Adults 55+ Talk with Pastor Chad

Wednesday, May 13 | 10 AM-12 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

NEXT STEPS

Baptism

If God has saved you, we invite you to be baptized to publicly acknowledge what God has done in your life.

Door Creek on Mission Grants

We have a long history of serving our community, and we believe that one of the ways we grow as disciples of Jesus Christ is to actively love God and love our neighbors. There are many opportunities to live missionally right where you are, by engaging in acts of love and service toward your neighbors and those in need around you. And so, we are offering “Door Creek on Mission” grants—funds (up to $200) available to help you, help others.

Resources

Check out the resources we have to connect you to ministries, to care for physical and spiritual needs, spiritual growth resources and more—all in one place.

Join a Group

Connect with others, and grow closer to God. Groups are key to building meaningful relationships and growing closer to God. Most of our groups are sermon-based, discussing and digging deeper into the previous weekend’s message. We have groups that meet online or in-person.

Serve

We believe that one of the ways to become more like Jesus is to serve. We also believe that one of the ways to grow deeper in your relationship with others involves not only serving others but serving others together. There are many opportunities to put your gifts and passions into action by serving others at DCC.
