The High Cost of Following Jesus

Ross Neir’s homily for the 17th Sunday after Pentecost, 09/15/2024, Calvary Episcopal Church, Batavia, IL–Fr Michael Rasicci, Rector.

Jesus told His disciples to “pick up your cross and follow me.” He did not mince words. His disciples would face challenges and death and receive life everlasting.
