The Cost of Discipleship is Agape - Fr. Michael Flowers - 5th Sunday After Easter 05.15.22.

St. Aidan's Anglican Church, Kansas City - weekly talks

We explore the power of grace in the challenge to love. The world knows the difference between believers and disciples. Reciprocal, costly love is the mark of discipleship: John 13:34... A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Peter's robust failure in three denials becomes a paradigm for the Church and her journey of discipleship. Rev 19:1-9 John 13:31-35 Almighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
