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.

3.) We give everything, Jesus gives more (vs 16-17)

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