Luke: The COST of Discipleship

Luke: Cost of Discipleship

March 22, 2026

Luke 15:1-10

1Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”
3So he told them this parable: 4“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
8“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 10Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

WHAT'S HAPPENING

Easter

Sunday, April 5 | All Campuses

Join us for a Good Friday service, as we reflect on the price that Jesus paid on our behalf and then again for Easter, as we celebrate the gift of new life that we have because of Him! Easter weekend is a great time to invite friends and family members. There will also be a Sunrise Breakfast at the Sprecher Road and DeForest Campus on Sunday at 6:45 am.

Mission Lunch & Mission Trip Info Session

Sunday, March 22 | 11:45 AM | Sprecher Road Campus

Join us for a light lunch and a time of sharing with the Dominican Republic Mission Trip Team. They will share about their work and then there will be a time of Q&A. In addition to DR Mission Trip Team sharing, Tammy Wood will spend the second half of the lunch hosting a Mission Trip Informational Session about the trip opportunities in 2027. Please RSVP to help us plan for food!

Prayers for Healing

Thursday, March 26 | 6:30-7:30 PM | Northside Madison Campus

James 5:14 encourages us to gather to pray for those who desire to be healed. Join us for an evening of prayer as we come together to seek God's healing in every area of our lives—spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. All are welcome.

Family Service

Sunday, March 29 | All Campuses

We're excited to have a family service where our elementary kids, ages kindergarten through grade 5, get to be part of the adult services across all campuses. It’s a great way for kids to see what church is like for the grown-ups, connect with the whole church family and be part of something bigger together. We also want our kids to know that they are a vital part of the Door Creek Church family, and, more importantly, the body of Christ. We hope you can join us! NOTE: Our regular kids programming is happening for birth-4k.

Young Professionals Easter Heritage Potluck

Tuesday, March 31 | 6:30-8:30 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

Join us to celebrate the Easter season! This isn't just any potluck—we invite you to bring a dish that tells a story. Such as a cherished recipe from your family's cultural heritage (e.g. German, Polish, Mexican) or a classic, meaningful dish from your childhood. This is a chance to share not just food, but the unique traditions that shaped you. Please sign up in advance so we know how many dishes to expect. After our meal, we'll have a fun and silly Easter egg hunt that will have us exploring the Sprecher Road Campus.

Senior Adults 55+ Fellowship & Games

Wednesday, April 8 | 10 AM-12 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

Come together in warm fellowship to laugh, connect and enjoy your favorite games. Barb Van Zante will lead a time of prayer for DCC-supported missionaries from 9:30-10 AM, prior to the monthly Wednesday gatherings, in Room 200 for anyone who would like to attend.

Senior Adults 55+ Book Study

Wednesdays, April 15 & 29, May 6, June 3, 17 & 24 | 10-11:30 AM | Sprecher Road Campus

The Parables: Understanding What Jesus Meant by Gary Inrig examines several of Jesus’ most well-known parables from the Gospels. The author guides readers in understanding what Jesus was teaching through these stories. Join us—and invite a friend—as we explore several of Jesus’ parables together.

POP-UP: Thinking Biblically about AI

Thursday, April 16 | 6:30-7:30 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

Artificial intelligence is reshaping daily life faster than most of us can keep up with. For many Christians, the real struggle is knowing how to think about AI in light of Scripture. To help you engage this moment with wisdom, we’ll introduce key biblical principles for understanding and using AI. You’ll leave with a clearer grasp of how Scripture guides our use of emerging technologies and practical insight for living faithfully as AI becomes a defining part of modern life.

Check out the full calendar for all of our upcoming events and group opportunities.

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.

We believe that one of the ways to become more like Jesus is to serve.
