As Jesus walked toward the cross, He called His followers to a radical journey of shrinking in self-importance. In Luke 17–19, Jesus tackles three critical heart issues that affect our ability to approach the cross and live in Christian community. It is only with childlike faith that we can embrace His teaching to release offense, pride, and self-sufficiency. In today’s sermon, our third childlike trait is “unashamed response” as Jesus addresses repentance. In Luke 19:1-10, we learn from Zaccheus that if we grow smaller, then God appears bigger, and we are freer to make things right.

Jesus uses a seed, yeast, and a narrow door to reveal the significance and urgency of the Kingdom of God. He is building a Kingdom that is expanding everywhere, but entering it demands an individual step right now.

In Luke 11 and 12, Jesus pulls back the curtain on the subtle heart-traps that sabotage our faith, divide our communities, and drain our spiritual momentum. It’s easy to point fingers at the historical "villains" of scripture, but Jesus shows us how those same destructive traits can quietly creep into our own lives. In today’s sermon, we expose the fourth of our four villains, The Sleepwalker, from Luke 12:35-48 and his plan for apathy and unfaithfulness. The Sleepwalker entices us to be distracted and depleted. Jesus calls us to be alert and ready. One has urgency to receive the Kingdom; the other misses it entirely.

Jesus calls us to live authentically. One opens the Kingdom; the other closes it.
