Luke: The COST of Discipleship

Luke: Cost of Discipleship

February 22, 2026

Luke 13:22-35

22He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, 24“Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ 26Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ 28In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. 29And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. 30And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
31At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” 32And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. 33Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ 34O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! 35Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

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.

Disability Awareness & Inclusion at DCC

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

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.

Door Creek Youth Volunteers

Want to help shape young lives, make a difference and have fun doing it? We’re seeking leaders for our Door Creek Youth ministry! Just fill out the quick form to get started.

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.
