"Get Rid Of Your Crutch"

Jun 8, 2025    Dr. Lorraine Brown

In this powerful message, we're challenged to confront our excuses and 'crutches' that hinder our spiritual growth. The parable of the Great Supper from Luke 14:15-24 serves as a backdrop, illustrating how easily we can prioritize worldly concerns over God's invitation. Just as the invited guests made excuses - buying land, testing oxen, or getting married - we often allow work, possessions, or relationships to supersede our commitment to God. This parable reminds us that God's invitation is urgent and requires our immediate response. We're called to examine our lives, identifying areas where we've been leaning on excuses rather than stepping out in faith. The message emphasizes that true transformation comes when we let go of these crutches and fully embrace God's call, allowing Him to use us in ways we might not expect. It's a stirring reminder that our mission on earth isn't complete until we're fully available to God, ready to serve in both grand and humble capacities.
