Nov. 17, 2019 - Let These Words Sink Into Your Ears (Luke 9:37-50)

In the mist of a crowd marveling at his majesty, Jesus pulls his disciples close and gives them painful words they did not understand but to which they had to hold fast. Though we are tempted toward a “theology of glory” where we assume our need is small and grace is helpful, Jesus gives another picture. Jesus tells us of a “theology of the cross” where our need is incomprehensible and his grace is absolute rescue.

Oct. 27, 2019 - You Give Them Something to Eat (Luke 9:10-17)

Jesus brings his people into the experience and expression of his Kingdom. In this passage we find three dynamics of this participation with Jesus in his kingdom. Namely:
1.) The end of our ability is the beginning of Jesus’ activity (vs 10-12)
2.) We act, Jesus provides (vs 13-15)
3.) We give everything, Jesus gives more (vs 16-17)

Sept. 29, 2019 - Where is Your Faith? (Luke 8:22-25)

Faith is received as a gift and then strengthened by the grace fueled effort of leaning on Jesus. In this text we see that this happens through hearing and leaning on the sovereign plan of Jesus, the surprising power of Jesus, and the willingness of Jesus toward us.
