The parables on the banquet warn against false Humility, false Hospitality, and false Security. The secret to genuineness is to humble yourself, help others, and honor God always.

Dr. Mark Rutland speaks about grace, taken from the last verse in the Bible. God is looking for people who will build up others by the way they show grace, not tear them down.

This week we discover 3 things about the character of Jesus: He doesn't need our help (only our obedience), and he doesn't stand for manipulation or mistreating people. Jesus knew his destiny, but still had time for compassion on those around Him. He healed the sick even when it was a setup from the Pharisees to trap Him.

After repentance, Jesus teaches that to enter the kingdom of heaven we should do good and live the narrow way.

In the beginning of Luke 13, Jesus teaches us punishment for sin is not better or worse depending on the transgression - we will all equally perish unless we repent! The parable of the fig tree shows God's grace to us but that judgement will eventually come if we do not repent.

Jesus' teaching in this portion of Luke warns us to be ready and prepared. We should wait, watch, and work until he returns. We must beware of being careless and spiritually dull.

Jesus teaches us to beware of worry. Worry and Anxiety reveal where our focus and our heart truly is. The remedy for worry: put your trust in Jesus and love others!

In Luke 12, Jesus begins to warn the disciples to beware of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. We also must make sure we live our lives with integrity and as we really are, owning our sin to allow Jesus to redeem us and restore us.

Guest Speaker Pastor Buddy Denton shares what living under the influence of the Spirit looks like and what results we should expect.

Jesus' words to the pharisees are a warning to us as well. Don't ignore the conviction of these passages, but allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you about any areas of your life that you have held onto.
