Wake Before the Day

We're discussing Luke 9 today, talk about a jam packed chapter! We're to walk in the authority of Jesus that he has given us in order to continue his mission. While words like "power" and "authority" are exciting to talk about it is also humbling when you realize what following Jesus costs the believer, which is everything. In the midst of this Jesus feeds 5,000+ people with the little they have to offer. But isn't that beautiful? God takes the little we have to offer and when we entrust it to him he does more than we could have ever imagined!

Let's discuss the importance of parables, the "soil" of our hearts and the demons that were sent into pigs in Luke 8!

Chapter 6 is Luke's version of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus addresses many of the Old Testament laws but takes it a step further and gets to our heart. He ends the chapter with a powerful question, "Why do you say to me Lord Lord but not do what I say?" A powerful and convicting question we need to answer as well. Let's dive in!

Confession of sin and grasping our inability to save becomes our resume for service to the Lord. Humility is the elevator to growth.

Like Jesus, our life should be filled with more than "gracious words" but with the very power of God!

There's a saying that goes, "identity determines destiny". We see Luke making that point here with the genealogy of Jesus and as John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus. It's important to note the Holy Spirit and his role in this stage of God's saving work.

Today we're talking about Jesus humanity - something that often goes overlooked and not discussed. Jesus humanity + his relationship with the Holy Spirit has huge implications for us today as we too are led by the Holy Spirit.

Ask God to give you the awe and wonder needed to fully embrace the coming of Jesus!

There's a huge difference between resuscitation and resurrection! Let's also discuss the fact that disciples are made not instantly created!

We talk about the small details intentionally included in the Gospels and we invite you to step into the shoes of Judas - yes, you read that right. Judas. What do we have to learn from him? Let's talk Matthew 27!
