Luke: The COST of Discipleship

Luke: Cost of Discipleship

March 15, 2026

Luke 14:25-35

25Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
34“Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? 35It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

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.

Upward Soccer

All kids, ages 4K–grade 6, are invited to be part of Upward Soccer! No soccer experience is required. One practice/game per week. Practice starts the week of April 6. All games are on Saturday mornings at Door Creek Church from April 25 to June 6.

YP+ Life, Love and Faith, From the Rearview Mirror

Thursday, March 19 | 6:30-8:30 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

Join us at this edition of YP+, where we will meet with Pastor Bob and Libby Goodsell for a time of teaching and questions on Biblical singleness, dating and marriage.

POP-UP: Thinking Biblically about Heaven & Hell

Saturday, March 21 | 9 AM-1 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

Few questions carry more urgency or confusion than those about heaven and hell. Outside the church, these doctrines are often minimized; inside the church, many struggle with misunderstanding, doubt or pressure to cave into cultural pressure. Our eternal destiny is too important to ignore. To equip you, we’ll watch curated presentations from this year’s EFCA Theology Conference. This is not just for scholars because we’re all theologians! You’ll walk away with clarity on what the Bible actually teaches about heaven and hell and a new awareness of the hope we have in Jesus.

InBetweeners Cornhole Tournament

Saturday, March 21 | 5-8:30 PM | Sprecher Road Campus

Join us for a fun-filled spring evening featuring a delicious potato bar and some friendly competition! We’ll begin eating at 5 PM—baked potatoes provided—so come hungry. Then get ready to test your skills in our indoor cornhole tournament for a chance to win it all! If you plan to play in the tournament, please arrive by 5:30 PM so we can organize teams and begin on time. Not feeling competitive? You’re welcome to play on the non-tournament boards just for fun.

Disability Awareness at DCC Class

Sunday, March 22 | 9-10:15 AM | Sprecher Road Campus

We believe every person is wonderfully made in the image of God—created with gifts and stories that reflect His love. The AdaptAbility Team is working to help DCC become a church where everyone belongs, participates and flourishes. This is about more than a program—it’s about building a culture of inclusion that reflects God’s Heart. If you live with a disability, love someone who does or want to help our church grow in love and accessibility, please join us for this meeting. We’ll learn practical ways to remove barriers and become a church where everyone is vital and valued.

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.

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

NEXT STEPS

Baptism

SERVICE: Sunday, March 15 | All Campuses

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.
