Walk with me and Depend on me
luke 10:1-16
We can take 9 principles for following Jesus, in our day-to-day lives, from this story of Him sending out 72 of His disciples on a mission trip 2000 years ago. Which of these 9 areas might the Lord be inviting you to readdress today?
Following Jesus
luke 9:46-62
Up until now in Luke 9 we’ve learnt a lot about who Jesus is. This week we turn to the question that follows, who am I to be in light of who Jesus is?
Why and How Should we Pray?
2 chronicles 7:1-3,12-18
God’s famous “If my people” promise, at the dedication of Solomon’s Temple remains as relevant and powerful for us today as it was to Ancient Israel then, and has much to teach us about the why and the how of prayer.
A Psalm for the End of the Day
psalm 4
The Psalms show us life lived before God. Psalm 4 is a Psalm for the end of the day, giving us a pattern for taking the difficulties and disappointments of the day, landing them not in distraction but devotion and resting in sleep.
Jesus' Power, Authority, and Followers' Faith
Luke 9:37-45
Jesus is exasperated by the disciples "unbelief" as they try to deliver a boy from demonic oppression. Jesus has given us his power and authority, and looks for faith in his followers to "do the stuff" of the Kingdom of God.
The Glory Returns
luke 9:28-36
Jesus climbs up a mountain, prays, and gets all shiny. It's a weird story. But it turns out to be an important key to understanding Luke's gospel, the whole Bible, and what God wants for humanity
“Who do you say I am?”
Luke 9:20-27
Jesus offers a vision of following him that is deeply challenging. Whether it is worth taking on or not depends entirely on one question: who do you say he is?
Community, Compassion, and Connection
Luke 9:10-20
In the well-known story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, once we look beyond the obvious, we can see clear evidence of His leadership, His values, and His power-source. Each speaks strongly of the kind of church we aim to be.
Training to Proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom
Luke 9:1-9
Luke's Gospel moves into its third phase, with Jesus' mission now growing exponentially with the gathering, equipping, and sending out of his discipleship group.
