Celebrating new life in Jesus.

This sermon reflects on the weight of sin and Jesus death for us.

As Jesus approaches the climax of His ministry, He shows himself himself humbly as the servant King. Though the crowds celebrate Him they do not truly see Him for who He is nor what is needed to win their salvation.

This passage shows us the heart of God to seek us out and the life transformation that happens when we encounter the Lord Jesus.

Following Jesus calls for a whole hearted, whole of life response that demonstrates a commitment to the mission and priorities of Jesus.

As Jesus continues on his way to Jerusalem we see an episode where he encounters Samaritan lepers and heals them so that they will be clean to approach God. Jesus is for all people and heals us of our greatest need (sin) so that we can approach God.

Jesus calls us to be faithful in the little things.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost.

The kingdom of God is like a glorious banquet that we’re invited to. God’s grace compels us to open our lives to all in the hope that they too will find grace. How tragic it is to ignore the invite!

In teaching us to pray, Jesus reveals that prayer is essentially relational, the way we respond to a loving and generous Father God.
