Scripture speaks to the concept of repentance quite a bit. But what does it actually mean? Forrest Brown preaches on the topic, addressing many of the misconceptions about repentance and also reveals God's heart for people in the process.
We're finding in Luke chapter 12 that Jesus has some harsh and direct words for his listeners. And this week's passage is no different. Why did Jesus bring fire to the earthy? Why did he say that he came to divide families? For a culture that primarily sees Jesus as a soft, gentle man, these words can seem startling. Yet, when we unpack them, we realize how good Jesus is and how his words are for our good.
Earlier in Luke 12, we observe Jesus addressing the issue of money, and now he furthers his emphasis--not simply on money but on the entire orientation of one's life. Jesus is calling his followers to stay alert, ready and pursuing the mission at all times until the end of our lives.
One of the topics that Jesus speaks about the most is money, and his words are difficult to accept and apply. Because his kingdom is not about amassing personal wealth but rather himself and his glory. And when we make our lives about him, we trade in our earthly currency for real, eternal wealth. Listen in as Pastor Forrest Brown preaches on one of Jesus' most difficult texts.
