In part 5 of the series Sheep Among Wolves Tony reveals why the American church is so anemic these days and why Christians are not, generally speaking, devoted to the mission of Christ. And then he walks us through the instructions that Jesus gave the 72 men He sent out on mission

The Apostle Paul asks four questions at the end of Romans chapter eight that will cause the people of God to experience true change, unshakable confidence, and a satisfaction in Christ to renounce all things.

This is the fourth part of a series Tony is doing in Luke 10. Today, though, he takes us to Matthew 10 where Matthew gives greater detail to what Jesus meant by sending His people out as sheep among wolves.

The focus of this sermon is Luke 10:3 - “I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.” How can I get serious about proclaiming the gospel? Why are there wolves? How do we see wolves being wolves around the world and in America right now? What does the American church need to know about wolves? These are some of the questions Tony answers in this sermon.

In the second part of this miniseries on Luke, Tony starts to walk us thru Jesus’ instructions He gave the 72 He was sending on mission. And I think you will see that they are seamlessly transferrable to us today.

In this sermon Tony introduces Jesus’ instructions to the 72 He sent out on mission. He “appointed” and “sent” them to proclaim the Kingdom of God. And He still does that - appoints and sends His people, where they are, to proclaim the kingdom of God

Are you a follower of Christ? It means much more than what we typically think. In this text Jesus says, what appears to be, the most outlandish, unreasonable things as to what it takes to follow Him. We find three necessary ingredients to being a follower of Christ.

In this passage Luke writes 4 vignettes from the life of Jesus. Though they are different stories seemingly unrelated, we actually see God’s explicit, specific sovereignty and man’s ugly, evil pride.

People don't ask how the first half of our race went. They want to know how we finish. The same is true of our lives. We want to run with endurance, until the end, as we follow Jesus in a life of faith. Knowing and focusing on Him is how we finish well.

Our faith is in God. When He calls us to go to a place we've never been it is scary and our faith is tested. How do we respond in faith? Take the next step and trust He will guide us, just like Abraham.
