Loyal Without Excuse | Pastor John Eaton | Loyalty - A Quality God Loves | 5/25/2025

In today’s powerful and challenging message, we explore the difference between manipulated service and true, loving commitment to God and His Kingdom. This sermon invites you to ask the hard questions:

- What are you really committed to?
- Are your commitments driven by love—or by guilt, pressure, or habit?
- Are you carrying the cross that Jesus personally assigned to you?

Drawing from Luke 14:16–27, we hear the parable of the Great Banquet, where Jesus exposes the excuses people make to avoid responding to God’s invitation. Whether it’s relationships, success, or past failures, many of us have placed our priorities above the call of Christ.

This message isn’t about religion—it’s about loyalty born out of love, and the God-given responsibility placed on each of our lives. We also reflect on the words of Peter in 1 Peter 1:18–25, reminding us that this life is a journey to be traveled with a deep consciousness of God, not shallow distractions.

"You cannot be My disciple unless you love Me more than your own life." – Jesus

It's time to count the cost. Choose love. Choose commitment. Choose to carry your cross.
