Pastor Brian Crawford opened with a striking quote from Denzel Washington on the 2016 red carpet: "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read it, you're misinformed." That quote, delivered to journalists who had just spread a false story, captured the problem Pastor Brian Crawford set out to address in this message from Genesis 3:1-6. We are living in an age of disinformation unlike anything history has seen before, and the church, rather than standing as a bulwark against it, is too often one of its most eager distributors. The Origins of Disinformation: The enemy has always spoken in lies. The first word Scripture ever uses to describe Satan is not "evil" or "powerful." It is "crafty." Pastor Brian Crawford unpacked that Hebrew word as meaning shrewd, cunning, and, in plain terms, slick. The serpent did not approach Eve with absurd, obviously false claims. He approached her with truish ones, statements slightly off center, close enough to make her question what God had actually said. That strategy has not changed. It fills our news feeds, our social media timelines, and our radio airwaves every hour of every day. Significantly, the Bible ends the same way it begins: Revelation 22:15 casts out those who love and practice falsehood. Jesus will have the final word over our slick enemy. The Heart of Disinformation: The problem is not your phone, it is your heart. Pastor Brian Crawford identified two desires that make us vulnerable: pride and payoff. Drawing on a landmark 2020 study in the journal Science, he described a condition researchers called "political sectarianism," in which people no longer simply disagree with the other side but moralize against them, quietly appointing themselves judges of good and evil. That is Genesis 3:5 in real time. When someone from our own camp shares a lie and someone corrects it, accepting the correction no longer feels like a neutral update. It feels like betrayal of the group, so we go silent rather than say we were wrong. The payoff works alongside pride. False and outrage-provoking content goes viral because the algorithm rewards engagement, not truth. Sharing novel information gives the sharer a status feeling, and in a growing number of cases, a financial one as well. Research has found that 30% of disinformation on social media comes from just 0.0003% of users who are financially incentivized to keep people inflamed. Ancient wisdom calls this the desire of the eyes. Our generation has simply figured out how to monetize it. The Escape from Disinformation: Be tethered to Christ, not to the digital. The answer Pastor Brian Crawford offered was not a better media diet, though he did call the church to find credible news sources and resist clickbait. The deeper answer was John 8:31-32: "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." When our greatest desire is to be like Jesus, when we sit at His feet rather than the feet of cable news, we are protected from the truish lies that target our pride and our passions. The two practical applications were direct: keep watch on your desire, filtering information through truth rather than through what you already want to believe, and keep watch on your ego, refusing to let in-group pride blind you to truth that comes from outside your camp. Guard your heart, and before you share anything, ask not "do I like it?" but "is it true?"

Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete." 2 John v. 12 This verse is an easy on to skim over, but its implications are important. The Apostle John emphasizes the importance of having an in person interaction as opposed to just writing his audience a letter. This verse cuts to the theme of today's sermon: We are being deeply changed by our digital age, as is the church. We have the consider how our life of constant connection to devices is changing us. A major emphasis about Jesus in scripture was his bodily presence--John emphasizes this when calls Jesus the Word made flesh. After Jesus's ascension, some naysayers were claiming that Jesus was never really on earth in bodily form, but all the gospels put enormous emphasis on Jesus's physical, human presence. One major way this is done is by how often the text mentions Jesus having a meal with others. This was such a major part of Jesus's ministry that the religious elite speculated that he was a glutton and a drunkard. Obviously this wasn't the case--there is also the story of his forty day fast in the wilderness--but it reveals just how often physical presence and fellowship over a meal meant to Jesus. In today's little passage, John ends his letter saying he'd rather not spend his time writing, but that he would rather speak in person and be present with the church to whom he was writing. John realized he shouldn't let the technology of his day--letter writing--replace physical presence. For many of us, screens and tech have taken over and our relationship with worship in community has been replaced by voyuerism. When we are so changed and conditioned that we are unable to be present or connect, it affects our relationships with others as well as our relationship with God. OUr attention to God has been reduced and has shifted. We often focus on supernatural signs and wonders in the early church, which we see at the beginning of the book of Acts, but the end of the book of Acts puts emphasis on what the early church looked like--believers attending temple and services TOGETHER, connected, and in community. A product of the Holy Spirit being with us is connectedness. God moves amongst us as a body, so we have to embrace the means by which he has given us to receive him and each other. Here are five applications of today's message for your day-to-day life: Application 1: Be more suspicious of our digital connectedness. What is it doing to us? To our connection with others? Application 2: Treat the absence of screen time like a discipline to be practiced, rather than an inconvenience to get through. Schedule time away from our screens. Application 3: Practice running to Christ instead of running to our phones. Application 4: Leave room in our lives for presence with others. Christ spent so much time eating with others, the elite insulted Him about it! Application 5: Resist the urge to trade physical connection for digital connection. Jesus showed up in a body, and He left with a body! "I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete." 2 John v. 12 This verse is an easy on to skim over, but its implications are important.

He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”Luke 21: 1-9 God is watching how you give-what you are trusting in- rather than what you give. . When we give in full view of others, we receive our reward - the admiration of others. But while human eyes and human ears would overlook this widow's gift, God sees, and declares that the small coins the widow offers are a much greater sacrifice than the giving of others around her. Like the widow, we should trust God to take what we give and make much of it. When we give with the proper spirit, God can and does do this even out of scarcity. The temple being admired in this text was sturdy and full of splendor, but as he did with the widow's sacrifice, Jesus sees the temple's true substance. The white marble stones of the temple couldn’t hide the predatory nature of those within it. And Jesus saw to the heart of the matter when he told the crowds that not one stone of the temple would be left standing on another. The people here saw the temple's incredible appearance, but Christ could see its coming destruction due to the wickedness within it. The temple was destroyed, but now the temple is being built with living stone--those whom God saves--as a holy nation of people for God’s possession and a kingdom of priests. The crowds ask Jesus when the foretold destruction will happen and he reveals that it won't happen all at once, but it will happen slowly, after rumors and wars and tumults. He reminds his people they are not alone and calls them to faithfulness. As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.

He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”Luke 21: 1-9 God is watching how you give-what you are trusting in- rather than what you give. . When we give in full view of others, we receive our reward - the admiration of others. But while human eyes and human ears would overlook this widow's gift, God sees, and declares that the small coins the widow offers are a much greater sacrifice than the giving of others around her. Like the widow, we should trust God to take what we give and make much of it. When we give with the proper spirit, God can and does do this even out of scarcity. The temple being admired in this text was sturdy and full of splendor, but as he did with the widow's sacrifice, Jesus sees the temple's true substance. The white marble stones of the temple couldn’t hide the predatory nature of those within it.

For David himself says in the Book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.’ David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?" And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” Luke 20: 41-47 Throughout this section of the Book of Luke there are repeated attempts to trip Jesus up: to debate him and get him in trouble with the elite. Jesus repeatedly turns the tables on these attempts. This exchange is an example of that. In Jesus's Day, as in ours, the purpose of great power was often misunderstood, which led to a multitude of opportunities to abuse that power. In this passage, Jesus challenges the crowd with questions about understanding and abuse of power. In the verse that Jesus quotes, there are two individuals mentioned: "The Lord" (which translates Yahweh) and "My Lord" (which translates Adonai). The crowd would have agreed that the passage was referring to the messiah and the Son of David. Jesus here urges the crowd to follow the passage to a higher understanding of these concepts: David's referring to his Son, the Messiah, as "Lord" doesn't make sense unless he is more than simply the Messiah. This points toward Jesus's divine identity. It is Jesus whose enemies will be made his footstool. The crowd's constant debates with Jesus show their complete misunderstanding of who he is. After He makes this point, Jesus turns to a discussion of misunderstood power, issuing a warning about the scribes to His disciples. Note that, in Jesus's day, where most people were illiterate, the Scribes wielded enormous power--as the resident legal experts, they functioned as both lawyers and judges, with the general populace having essentially no ability to question what they decreed. Jesus's warning to his disciples, coupled with his earlier question about scripture, reveals that the scribes themselves are misunderstanding the proper use of their power. They do not even understand the text they've spent their whole lives copying and studying, but they are filled with so much pride that they lord over people and exploit the poor and vulnerable. When power is misunderstood, it becomes corrupted by pride and misused. Jesus's warning begs the question: What does true power, properly used, look like? It looks like Jesus's example: Sacrifice for the sake of others. We don't often thing of extending grace, mercy, and love as acts of power, but this is where God is magnified: by having one's worship terminate on God, rather than one's self. We, as followers of Jesus, must be aware of what we communicate with the ways in which we use our own power. But he said to them, “How can they say that the Christ is David's son?

Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. And the second and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. Afterward the woman also died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.” And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.” For they no longer dared to ask him any question. Luke: 20: 27-40 This passage slightly lifts the veil on the life and eternity to come. Here we have a conservative Jewish sect, the Sadducees, take their turn at trying to trip up Jesus. They don’t even believe in the resurrection, yet they ask Jesus about it. The type of marriage referenced here was done for 3 reasons - to preserve the name of the family, to preserve the land in that family, and to protect the woman, so she is not widowed. For a man to refuse the preservation and protection this marriage provided would have caused enormous dishonor. So, while this scenario sounds unrealistic, it’s not impossible for someone in this culture. The underlying takeaway from this odd fact pattern is that, in this life, relationships in this life are messy and hard. Jesus shows us how Heaven untangles the messy relationships we get in down here on earth, and in the process reveals that the Sadducees don’t have a strong enough understanding of the afterlife. The relationships we have on this earth are not “fixed,” in the resurrection. They are instead “transformed.” In Heaven, marriages are no longer needed because we are no longer “Son of this age” but are rather “Sons of God.” In heaven, families don't have the kind of name that needs preserving - because they are of the Name above every Name. We shall all be given the family name of Jesus! Thus, we can cease worrying about our possessions too! God owns everything! The need for securing the family will be no more. We will be given a totally new nature, and no longer need to marry to secure our family land. And we will be transformed! We no longer will be able to die, being like the angels! So we will no longer have a need to worry about our lives or death! Our relationships will be completely and totally transformed because everyone will be completely different! So whatever relationship you enjoy the most, that is only a small foretaste of what all our relationships will be like when we reach the resurrection! We will be so deeply known! The Sadducees thought they had Jesus trapped. But Jesus shows them that they are selling themselves short, because Jesus shows us that our understanding of the covenant we are a part of will be completely transformed. The Sadducees come quoting Moses to Jesus to trip them up, and Jesus shows them what Moses says about resurrection - God introduces Himself to Moses as the (present tense) God of those who died!

They are instead “transformed.” In Heaven, marriages are no longer needed because we are no longer “Son of this age” but are rather “Sons of God.” In heaven, families don't have the kind of name that needs preserving - because they are of the Name above every Name. We shall all be given the family name of Jesus! Thus, we can cease worrying about our possessions too! God owns everything! The need for securing the family will be no more. We will be given a totally new nature, and no longer need to marry to secure our family land. And we will be transformed! We no longer will be able to die, being like the angels! So we will no longer have a need to worry about our lives or death! Our relationships will be completely and totally transformed because everyone will be completely different! So whatever relationship you enjoy the most, that is only a small foretaste of what all our relationships will be like when we reach the resurrection! We will be so deeply known! The Sadducees thought they had Jesus trapped. But Jesus shows them that they are selling themselves short, because Jesus shows us that our understanding of the covenant we are a part of will be completely transformed. The Sadducees come quoting Moses to Jesus to trip them up, and Jesus shows them what Moses says about resurrection - God introduces Himself to Moses as the (present tense) God of those who died! Jesus has not come just to adjust messy relationships. The resurrection transforms them! There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up off… Brian Crawford 2597 https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/citylightchurchvburg.sermon.net/22540874/controller/link/action/podcast/type/audio_thegospeloflukewhenweliveforev/id/4360865.mp3 https://citylightchurchvburg.sermon.net/22540874 Scripture: Luke 20:27-20:40, Series: Luke Part#76 Sun, 05 Jul 2026 15:41:28 +0000 Brian Crawford Main Point: Every believer carries two citizenships, and how you order them reveals whose image you truly bear. On July 5th, 2026, Pastor Brian Crawford preached from Luke 20:20-26, where a group of religious elites sent flattering spies to trap Jesus with a question about paying Roman taxes. The passage fell one day after Independence Day, and Pastor Brian Crawford noted that God had a way of aligning texts to moments without any planning required. The sermon walked through four movements in the passage: the setup, the question, the answer, and the response of the crowd. Flattery is a spiritual trap, not just a social one. The spies approached Jesus with excessive praise, calling him a teacher who speaks truthfully and shows no partiality. Pastor Brian Crawford used this to warn that some of the most dangerous threats to our purpose in God arrive not as opposition but as affirmation, ease, and flattery. Because we naturally love to hear "yes," we lower our discernment when someone scratches that itch, making us vulnerable to being led away from God's will by those who only appear to be on our side. The question about the tributum capitis was a trap with no safe human exit. The Roman poll tax was deeply painful to Jewish people. Paying it felt like endorsing Caesar's worship. Refusing it could brand someone a revolutionary. Pastor Brian Crawford showed that the question was designed to force Jesus into one of two politically explosive positions. This mirrors the civic traps believers still face today, where passion-driven issues are used to force people to one political side or the other, demanding absolute loyalty where none should be given. Rendering to Caesar means actively blessing the systems God placed you in. Jesus asked to see the coin, noted whose image it bore, and answered simply: give Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Pastor Brian Crawford showed that Paul in Romans 13, Peter in 1 Peter 2, and Jeremiah in Jeremiah 29 all echo this same call. Believers are to pay taxes, honor authorities, pray for leaders, and seek the welfare of their city because God has placed them there. Even the exiles in Babylon were told to build houses, plant gardens, and pray for the city's welfare because in its flourishing they would find their own. You bear God's image, and that image belongs entirely to him. The Greek word for "image" on Caesar's coin is the same word used in Genesis 1:27. Pastor Brian Crawford drew this parallel to show that just as the coin belongs to Caesar because it bears his image, every believer belongs completely to God because they bear his image. Caesar can have the coin, the tax, and the honor owed to him. But he cannot have your worship, your heart, or your allegiance. Misplaced political worship silently replaces God's image with Caesar's. Drawing on C.S. Lewis's "Meditations on the Third Commandment," Pastor Brian Crawford warned that Christians who align themselves completely to any political philosophy will not change that philosophy. It will change them. Every political system ultimately wants the worship and collective allegiance of God's people. The calling of the believer is to render honor, respect, and civic responsibility to governing authorities while ensuring that fear, love, and ultimate allegiance remain with God alone, so that the world sees clearly whose image they bear. Main Point: Every believer carries two citizenships, and how you order them reveals whose image you truly bear.

Now tell me, was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?” And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.” So they answered that they did not know where it came from. And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while. When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out. Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’ And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” But he looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’? Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”” . Luke 20: 1-18 Our desire to circumvent authority, is an example of our own prideful hearts. Authority questioned: in our text, Jesus is questioned of His authority. The Pharisees question His authority, and ask Him “who gives you the right” to throw out the money changers of the temple, and various other things that have been reported of Him. His actions don’t line up with their desire for power and their own authority, so they want a way around His authority. So, Jesus asks them a question in return to expose their hearts. If John was baptized from Heaven? The people believe John was a prophet, and if they disagree, the people will kill the Pharisees. But, if they say yes, then they are arguing with the very one John said was the lamb of God. The Pharisees answer “I don’t know.” To avoid answering their question and to maintain their own power. And that’s the issue - they wanted to keep their own power. Because if they believed that John was from God, they have no way to deny Jesus was the Christ whose Authority they should submit to. Just as Christ claims authority here, He claims total authority over your life. Authority rejected: Jesus tells a parable about Israel’s history - the Pharisees would have noticed it. The vineyard was taken over by the tenants, rebelling against the owner. Over and over, God sends messengers (prophets) to Israel, and over and over they kill them. Jesus makes the connection to the fact that He is the Son in the parable, and His imending death. This passage is about the long suffering of God. One day, we will all have to stand before the owner of the vineyard. God’s love for us is paitent, and gives us many many chances for us to respect Him and love Him. But, just as the servants plot to kill Him for His inheritance, the Pharisees known who Jesus is. They are staring directly in the face of Gods Begotten Son, and yet, they want the inheritance (Jesus’s Authority) having forgotten that they are just tenants (servants) in this vineyard (the world). There’s no ambiguity in this story. Jesus is King of Kings, and the Pharisees know who exactly who he is, and Jesus challenges their own authority, and they don’t like that. Authority declared: But this is the Good News - Jesus shows them what the Pharisees will do with the Son. But Jesus shows what God shall do with the Son. Eventually, God’s righteous judgement. God destroys the tenants and gives the vineyard to others. This disturbs the Pharisees so much they say “Surely not!” This rejection opens eternity to everyone on earth. Jesus is the cornerstone that the builders rejected. Far too many people are happy with Jesus as a prophet, but not as a king. Jesus cannot and will not be an accent in our lives. He will require us to build upon Him. Everything must line up with Him, or our lives will be like a house built on sinking sand. Jesus gives one final warning - anyone who falls on the stone will break, and anyone under the stone will be crushed. You will either be broken before him, or destroyed under him. Broken is not destroyed - that is where God fixes our mess, as a broken and contrite mess. Don’t harden your heart, fall on the stone and break before Him today. Don’t reject Him. His promise here is that this destruction is promised to all who do not make Jesus the cornerstone. But His invitation is for everyone. The vineyard has been offered to you! All that takes to grasp it, is to accept and align your life with the Cornerstone! “One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.” He answered them, “I also will ask you a question.

When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out. Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’ And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” But he looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’? Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”” . Luke 20: 1-18 Our desire to circumvent authority, is an example of our own prideful hearts. Authority questioned: in our text, Jesus is questioned of His authority. The Pharisees question His authority, and ask Him “who gives you the right” to throw out the money changers of the temple, and various other things that have been reported of Him. His actions don’t line up with their desire for power and their own authority, so they want a way around His authority. So, Jesus asks them a question in return to expose their hearts. If John was baptized from Heaven? The people believe John was a prophet, and if they disagree, the people will kill the Pharisees. But, if they say yes, then they are arguing with the very one John said was the lamb of God. The Pharisees answer “I don’t know.” To avoid answering their question and to maintain their own power. And that’s the issue - they wanted to keep their own power. Because if they believed that John was from God, they have no way to deny Jesus was the Christ whose Authority they should submit to. Just as Christ claims authority here, He claims total authority over your life. Authority rejected: Jesus tells a parable about Israel’s history - the Pharisees would have noticed it. The vineyard was taken over by the tenants, rebelling against the owner. Over and over, God sends messengers (prophets) to Israel, and over and over they kill them. Jesus makes the connection to the fact that He is the Son in the parable, and His imending death. This passage is about the long suffering of God. One day, we will all have to stand before the owner of the vineyard. God’s love for us is paitent, and gives us many many chances for us to respect Him and love Him. But, just as the servants plot to kill Him for His inheritance, the Pharisees known who Jesus is. They are staring directly in the face of Gods Begotten Son, and yet, they want the inheritance (Jesus’s Authority) having forgotten that they are just tenants (servants) in this vineyard (the world). There’s no ambiguity in this story. Jesus is King of Kings, and the Pharisees know who exactly who he is, and Jesus challenges their own authority, and they don’t like that. Authority declared: But this is the Good News - Jesus shows them what the Pharisees will do with the Son. But Jesus shows what God shall do with the Son. Eventually, God’s righteous judgement. God destroys the tenants and gives the vineyard to others. This disturbs the Pharisees so much they say “Surely not!” This rejection opens eternity to everyone on earth. Jesus is the cornerstone that the builders rejected. Far too many people are happy with Jesus as a prophet, but not as a king. Jesus cannot and will not be an accent in our lives. He will require us to build upon Him. Everything must line up with Him, or our lives will be like a house built on sinking sand. Jesus gives one final warning - anyone who falls on the stone will break, and anyone under the stone will be crushed. You will either be broken before him, or destroyed under him. Broken is not destroyed - that is where God fixes our mess, as a broken and contrite mess. Don’t harden your heart, fall on the stone and break before Him today. Don’t reject Him. His promise here is that this destruction is promised to all who do not make Jesus the cornerstone. But His invitation is for everyone. The vineyard has been offered to you! All that takes to grasp it, is to accept and align your life with the Cornerstone! “One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.” He… Corey Deyamport 2334 https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/citylightchurchvburg.sermon.net/22536680/controller/link/action/podcast/type/audio_thegospeloflukethisistheheirau/id/4356780.mp3 https://citylightchurchvburg.sermon.net/22536680 Scripture: Luke 20:1-20:18, Series: Luke Part#74 Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:42:57 +0000 Brian Crawford And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace!

The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words. Luke 19:41-48 Notice how in this passage Jesus, the anointed king and the most perfect example there has ever been of masculinity, experiences the full range of emotions: He experiences sorrow as Jerusalem, the city of peace, was being prepared for destruction. He experienced anger as the temple, the house of peace, was being desecrated. He experiences passion as He, the Prince of Peace, is preparing for His death. This is immediately after his triumphal entry, when worshippers cried out his name. One verse later, he gets a beautiful view of the temple, and he proceeds to weep deeply over Jerusalem's coming destruction. He knows that in 40 years God will permit Rome to destroy the temple because God's people missed the peace that was among them and killed the King of Peace. He weeps over humanity's desperate search for peace in something other than himself. Jesus then enters the house of peace and displays great anger at the sight of those desecrating the temple. Historical context shows that the money-changers and those who sold pigeons (which, in other gospels, we are told were particular targets of Jesus's righteous anger) were exploiting the vulnerable: the poor and the outsider.

Pastor Brian Crawford opened the June 14 message at City Light Church in Vicksburg with a vivid picture of Jalen Brunson winning the NBA Finals, a six-foot player dominating a sport built for giants, simply because he used every ounce of what he was given. That image set the foundation for the parable of the minas in Luke 19, a story Jesus told on the road to Jerusalem to correct a widespread and dangerous misunderstanding among those who followed him. The kingdom is here now, but not yet fully arrived. The crowd in Jericho had just heard Jesus speak salvation over Zacchaeus, and they were convinced that the kingdom of God was about to break fully into history right there in Jerusalem. Pastor Brian Crawford walked through why their excitement made sense and why it was still off. The crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension were not the end of the story. They were the beginning of a long and purposeful wait. Getting that timeline wrong, he said, disrupts everything about how a believer lives and shows up in the world. Kingdom living means actively attending to the King's business in his absence. Jesus gives each servant one mina and a simple command: engage in business until I come. Pastor Brian Crawford made clear that waiting for the King is never meant to be passive. The absence of Jesus is not permission to sit idle. It is a call to invest what has been entrusted to you for the purposes of the one who gave it. Faithful use of what you have produces fruitfulness, regardless of the amount. Two servants returned with more than they started with, one making ten minas and one making five. Both were rewarded generously, not because of the size of their return, but because they were faithful. Pointing to 1 Corinthians 15, Pastor Brian Crawford held up the Apostle Paul as someone who used every ounce of grace he was given, while still insisting it was not him but God working through him. He also lifted up Harriet Tubman and Fanny Crosby as women who refused to waste their minas, no matter the cost or the limitation. Fear frustrates fruitfulness and is rooted in a false view of God. The third servant buried his mina in a cloth and blamed his inaction on fear of a harsh master. Pastor Brian Crawford called this a false fear, built on bad information and exposed by bad motives. The master in the story is generous, not cruel. When we distort who God is, we create excuses that feel valid but are ultimately empty. He warned that the Lord may one day replay our own words back to us. Grace is free but priceless, and unused grace will be redirected. The mina taken from the fearful servant and given to the one with ten is not punishment without reason. It reflects the preciousness of grace. What God freely gives is not meant to be buried. Pastor Brian Crawford closed with a simple, urgent prayer: whatever measure of grace you have been given, use it fully, faithfully, and for his glory, because the King is coming back.

On June 7, 2026, Pastor Corey Deyamport opened Luke 19:1-10 and walked City Light Church through the story of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector who climbed a sycamore tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus passing through Jericho. The sermon's central claim is that this story is not primarily about a man who searched hard enough to find Jesus. It is about a Savior who was already moving toward a man before that man ever left the ground. A Desire Greater Than Dignity Pastor Corey Deyamport opened by painting a picture of who Zacchaeus was: wealthy, powerful, and deeply despised. As a chief tax collector, he managed a system designed to exploit his own people, and he was good at it. Yet something inside him that his money and position could never satisfy was stirring. When he arrived at the crowd and found no one making room for him, he did something undignified for a man of his standing. He ran. He climbed a tree. Pastor Corey Deyamport paused here to challenge the congregation, noting that sometimes the people closest to religious activity become the very ones who block broken people from seeing Jesus, not always with bad intentions, but by forgetting what it felt like to need mercy. The first evidence of grace, he noted, is when the hunger of your soul grows louder than the opinions of the crowd. A Savior Greater Than His Seeking Everything turns on verse five. Jesus arrives at the tree, looks up, and calls Zacchaeus by name, telling him to come down quickly because he must stay at his house that day. Pastor Corey Deyamport zeroed in on the word "must," drawn from the Greek word meaning divine necessity, a purpose established by the counsel and will of God for the salvation of people through Christ. Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus. Jesus stopped under the tree to save Zacchaeus. That distinction, Pastor Corey Deyamport argued, is the difference between a self-help message and the gospel. Our seeking is always a response to a grace already moving toward us. He reinforced this with John 15:16, Romans 5:8, and the imagery of Luke 15's seeking shepherd, woman, and father. A Salvation Greater Than Sin When Zacchaeus came down from the tree, something had already changed. He stood before Jesus, called him Lord, and announced that he would give half his goods to the poor and restore fourfold anything he had taken dishonestly. The law required only a fifth above what was taken. Grace moved him far beyond the law's floor. Pastor Corey Deyamport connected this to the rich young ruler in Luke 18, noting the contrast: one man walked away sad, unable to release his wealth. Zacchaeus gave it away joyfully, because what had found him was worth infinitely more. Jesus then declared salvation over his house and named him a son of Abraham, restoring what the crowd had tried to permanently revoke. Pastor Corey Deyamport closed by pointing from the sycamore tree to the cross, reminding the congregation that the same Jesus who stopped for Zacchaeus in Jericho would soon hang on a tree outside Jerusalem, bearing shame to purchase the salvation he freely gave. The invitation was simple: come down from whatever tree you are in, not polished, not put together, but as you are, to the Savior who is still seeking and still saving the lost.

As a chief tax collector, he managed a system designed to exploit his own people, and he was good at it. Yet something inside him that his money and position could never satisfy was stirring. When he arrived at the crowd and found no one making room for him, he did something undignified for a man of his standing. He ran. He climbed a tree. Pastor Corey Deyamport paused here to challenge the congregation, noting that sometimes the people closest to religious activity become the very ones who block broken people from seeing Jesus, not always with bad intentions, but by forgetting what it felt like to need mercy. The first evidence of grace, he noted, is when the hunger of your soul grows louder than the opinions of the crowd. A Savior Greater Than His Seeking Everything turns on verse five. Jesus arrives at the tree, looks up, and calls Zacchaeus by name, telling him to come down quickly because he must stay at his house that day. Pastor Corey Deyamport zeroed in on the word "must," drawn from the Greek word meaning divine necessity, a purpose established by the counsel and will of God for the salvation of people through Christ. Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus. Jesus stopped under the tree to save Zacchaeus. That distinction, Pastor Corey Deyamport argued, is the difference between a self-help message and the gospel. Our seeking is always a response to a grace already moving toward us. He reinforced this with John 15:16, Romans 5:8, and the imagery of Luke 15's seeking shepherd, woman, and father. A Salvation Greater Than Sin When Zacchaeus came down from the tree, something had already changed. He stood before Jesus, called him Lord, and announced that he would give half his goods to the poor and restore fourfold anything he had taken dishonestly. The law required only a fifth above what was taken. Grace moved him far beyond the law's floor. Pastor Corey Deyamport connected this to the rich young ruler in Luke 18, noting the contrast: one man walked away sad, unable to release his wealth. Zacchaeus gave it away joyfully, because what had found him was worth infinitely more. Jesus then declared salvation over his house and named him a son of Abraham, restoring what the crowd had tried to permanently revoke. Pastor Corey Deyamport closed by pointing from the sycamore tree to the cross, reminding the congregation that the same Jesus who stopped for Zacchaeus in Jericho would soon hang on a tree outside Jerusalem, bearing shame to purchase the salvation he freely gave. The invitation was simple: come down from whatever tree you are in, not polished, not put together, but as you are, to the Savior who is still seeking and still saving the lost.

On May 31, 2026, Pastor Brian Crawford preached from Luke 18:31-43, a passage Luke intentionally placed two stories side by side: disciples who can see but cannot see, and a blind man who cannot see but sees everything that matters. The central question running through the whole sermon is simple and searching: what does it actually mean to have eyes for Jesus? The disciples were physically present but spiritually veiled. Jesus tells the Twelve exactly what is about to happen in Jerusalem, with remarkable detail. He describes betrayal, mockery, flogging, death, and resurrection. And yet Luke records three separate phrases to describe their response: they understood nothing, the saying was hidden, and they did not grasp it. Pastor Brian Crawford argues this is not casual confusion. It is a complete veiling of the eyes, one that only God can lift. The disciples had every advantage and still could not see. Seeing Jesus is never the reward for proximity or religious effort. The cross was God's deliberate plan, not a tragedy he allowed. Pastor Brian Crawford draws on Peter's sermon in Acts 2:23 to show that every person involved in the crucifixion, from the Jewish leaders to Judas to the Gentiles to the crowds, bore real guilt. And yet all of it unfolded according to God's foreknowledge and predetermined plan. Human responsibility and divine sovereignty both stand. The suffering was unbearable and real, but the resurrection on the third day makes this moment one of unspeakable joy held inside unbearable pain. Bartimaeus saw Jesus because grace was given to the humble, not the privileged. The blind beggar had no theological training, no eyewitness experience of miracles, and no social standing. Blindness in the first century meant economic ruin, social rejection, and religious shame. And yet when the crowd told him Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he called out "Son of David," a title packed with messianic weight drawn from 2 Samuel 7. Pastor Brian Crawford points out the stunning irony: the man with no eyes sees what the disciples with every advantage could not. Grace, he argues, lives in humility. God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble, and that includes the grace to see. Jesus stopping for Bartimaeus is a picture of how grace restores dignity. The crowd tried to silence the beggar. Jesus stopped. In stopping, he publicly honored a man everyone else dismissed. Pastor Brian Crawford makes the point directly: it does not matter how many people look past you. If Jesus sees you, you are seen. Faith is grace given to see Jesus rightly and ourselves honestly. Pastor Brian Crawford closes by defining faith not as willpower or religious striving but as a grace-given ability to see Jesus as the Son of David and Savior, and to see ourselves as people who have nothing to bring and everything to receive. Bartimaeus did not hide his need when Jesus asked what he wanted. He said it plainly. That kind of honest, humble confession is exactly what Jesus invites every person into, believer and seeker alike, every single day.

And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭ If we come to Jesus holding nothing, we will receive everything. If we seek to hold something to qualify us, we will receive nothing. In this passage, Luke uses a word that is reserved for infants and toddlers, rather than just “children" to characterize these that were being brought to Jesus. These children cannot hold anything, they can only be held. Their fate is in the one who is holding them. Children were seen as liabilities in this time, so it makes sense that the disciples would have rebuked parents. But the disciples were wrong, and they didn’t see the value in the children that Jesus did. Jesus was even angered that the disciples were rebuking the parents. Children are shown as our models of kingdom citizenship. They are needy, feeble and weak, and require constant attention, feeding, changing, etc. to keep them alive. And if we don’t come to the kingdom of God in the same way, we will not gain entry. We need to be children with no accolades, no riches, no protection, no accomplishments. It is not what we are holding onto that will save us, but Who is holding us! The Rich Ruler in Jesus's parable that follows represents the anti-thesis of inheriting eternal life. The ruler is wealthy, respected, important, and a keeper of the law. He shows up asking the right question, and to the right person. But his posture before Christ is wrong. Even the ruler’s address is correct - he calls Jesus “Good.” This wouldn’t have been a normal introduction during this time. So even saying “good teacher” the Ruler is attributing to Jesus the attributes that would have been reserved for God. But the ruler doesn’t understand - none of us can get there and achieve righteousness, except through God Himself! So Jesus asks him to obey one more thing -- Jesus asks him to give up the thing that makes him who he is. Money and possessions are a powerful source of delusion and identity. But this is not just about Greed. Our own identities are idols for us. The rich young ruler's actions show that he’s breaking the first commandment - worshiping his identity via his wealth as his god. The people around Jesus then ask “if this guy cannot be saved, then who?!?!” And Jesus answers, “with God, all things are possible.” When we loosen the grip on our lives, and give up our own strength, we allow God to dictate our lives.

Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭ If we come to Jesus holding nothing, we will receive everything. If we seek to hold something to qualify us, we will receive nothing. In this passage, Luke uses a word that is reserved for infants and toddlers, rather than just “children" to characterize these that were being brought to Jesus. These children cannot hold anything, they can only be held. Their fate is in the one who is holding them. Children were seen as liabilities in this time, so it makes sense that the disciples would have rebuked parents. But the disciples were wrong, and they didn’t see the value in the children that Jesus did. Jesus was even angered that the disciples were rebuking the parents. Children are shown as our models of kingdom citizenship. They are needy, feeble and weak, and require constant attention, feeding, changing, etc. to keep them alive. And if we don’t come to the kingdom of God in the same way, we will not gain entry. We need to be children with no accolades, no riches, no protection, no accomplishments. It is not what we are holding onto that will save us, but Who is holding us! The Rich Ruler in Jesus's parable that follows represents the anti-thesis of inheriting eternal life. The ruler is wealthy, respected, important, and a keeper of the law. He shows up asking the right question, and to the right person. But his posture before Christ is wrong. Even the ruler’s address is correct - he calls Jesus “Good.” This wouldn’t have been a normal introduction during this time. So even saying “good teacher” the Ruler is attributing to Jesus the attributes that would have been reserved for God. But the ruler doesn’t understand - none of us can get there and achieve righteousness, except through God Himself! So Jesus asks him to obey one more thing -- Jesus asks him to give up the thing that makes him who he is. Money and possessions are a powerful source of delusion and identity. But this is not just about Greed. Our own identities are idols for us. The rich young ruler's actions show that he’s breaking the first commandment - worshiping his identity via his wealth as his god. The people around Jesus then ask “if this guy cannot be saved, then who?!?!” And Jesus answers, “with God, all things are possible.” When we loosen the grip on our lives, and give up our own strength, we allow God to dictate our lives. What is holding you from being held? What do we hold onto to find worth before God? “Now they were bringing even infants to him so that he might touch them.

He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Widows in Jesus's day would have been particularly isolated, and context indicates the widow in this story had no male family to offer her support- no husband, but also no brothers, no father, nor grandfather. Jesus uses this parable to instruct His church to handle troublesome days: to keep praying without losing heart. Luke gives us a bleak picture for the widow. She had no choice but to appear before a judge on her own behalf: she has no family to advocate for her. But to make matters worse - this judge is wholly unrighteous. But this widow is able to break this judge and get the mercy and justice she needed. Her persistence alone causes the unrighteous judge to relent. Jesus directs the church to exercise this same persistence. And how much more will the righteous judge care for His children? Persistence in God is all we will ever need - the unrighteous judge's phrase “beat down” in the Greek is an image of someone punching an opponet over and over until the opponent gives up. The widow with no real power wins just because she just keeps showing up. If her persistence makes the unrighteous judge give in, how much more will our persistence work with a righteous judge who also longs to bring us justice and mercy and grace and salvation? Persistence in God is all we will have when it is all said and done - this is a warning to keep praying, keep persisting and not lose heart. When we experience the terrible things in the world, it can be heavy. And Jesus asks “can I find any faith in all the earth?” He has unbelievers in mind, of course, but He’s speaking to His disciples. It’s easy for believers to fall into a series of functional unbelief. Going to service, but never going to meet God there. The lord wants the unbelievers to turn to him, but also the persistent believers to have faith through His physical absence. This woman is alone, and without power. And yet she showed up, each day delivering a single punch to the judge. She didn’t quit on the first attempt, nor the 100th. But eventually… she did win. Jesus is coming back, and He’s coming back for those who are still praying, still loving our neighbors, still blessing our enemies, and not losing heart. ““And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.

One will be taken and the other left. 35 There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[j] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse[k] is, there the vultures[l] will gather.” Luke: 17: 20-37 We, innately, have a longing for a king and powerful leader and the influence that brings to us individually. . In this verse, Jesus starts with addressing those on the outside first - the Pharisees - telling them the kingdom is not a physical place, or one of worldly influence. Jesus says that his kingdom does not display what we assume kingdoms should. If we go looking for the kingdom of God in the places we expect a kingdom to be. Any kingdom we find that promises everything we want, and claims to have Jesus, is nothing more than a house of cards. Instead, the kingdom of God is in the “midst of you.” The Pharisees are told, point blank, that the Kingdom is not within themselves, but rather standing physically among them at that very moment! It is Christ Jesus! The kingdom of God is not locked up in political power, or a location, but in a “Who.” To see the kingdom of God, look to Jesus and not take our eyes off of Him. . Then Jesus turns his attention to the disciples. He uses this as a moment to warn us. Hardship has a tendency to make us desperate. Struggle will increase, and in your longing, false prophets will tell us “the end of your struggle is over there.” But Jesus tells us, DON’T GET DISTRACTED! Many of us define God’s will by the path of least resistance. That’s why we’re so easily distracted and lead astray. In our desperation and longing for Christ, we are easily distracted by counterfeit christs who offer us ease, and require nothing of us. Stay. On. The. Path. Don’t turn to deception in our exhaustion, because that’s when deception is at its strongest. Christ gives us several descriptions to protect us! He tells us when He comes back, everyone will know. It will be undebatable. There will be NO room for skepticism. None will foresee it, but everyone will see it at once. He also tells us that His return will come with suffering and persecution. Jesus tells us His kingdom will come through suffering. So, the return of Christ will NOT come with ease and everything we want. So we should not lose focus on Christ in our own suffering. When you suffer for Jesus, it doesn’t mean you are outside of God. It means that you are most likely, right where you need to be. And we should remain undistracted by the normal good of life. The pursuit of the normal good life can be incredibly distracting. When Christ comes back, life will be normal. We’re living, working, playing, eating and drinking, and we’re in relationships. It’s SUPER easy to build a life without Christ. People think that there’s going to be a lead up to the return of Christ - things changing, stuff start shutting down. But it’s going to be abrupt. That’s what Christ is telling us here. The normal good life carries the ability to mask our pursuit of Christ. Jesus will one day show up, and the life we live with is the life we will be judge by. The normal good life doesn’t sound too evil. But if we’re hypnotized by it, and we have no energy placed in the pursuit of Jesus when He shows up, then we’ll lose our life and the life we hoped to live. Lastly, the arrival of the Kingdom will cause separation. Many, in the end, will cling to the life behind us. We shouldn’t. In order to say hello to the kingdom of God, we must say goodbye to the kingdom of men. And not be surprised when we must cut ties with people who love us and things we love. The king you were made to long for is not any person who exists in your time. You were made to long for Christ. Keep your eyes fixed on Him through the distractions. Sermon Notes 5/3/26 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.” 22 And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.[i] 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”[j] 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse[k] is, there the vultures[l] will gather.” Luke: 17: 20-37 We, innately, have a longing for a king and powerful leader and the influence that brings to us individually. . In this verse, Jesus starts with addressing those on the outside first - the Pharisees - telling them the kingdom is not a physical place, or one of worldly influence. Jesus says that his kingdom does not display what we assume kingdoms should. If we go looking for the kingdom of God in the places we expect a kingdom to be. Any kingdom we find that promises everything we want, and claims to have Jesus, is nothing more than a house of cards. Instead, the kingdom of God is in the “midst of you.” The Pharisees are told, point blank, that the Kingdom is not within themselves, but rather standing physically among them at that very moment! It is Christ Jesus! The kingdom of God is not locked up in political power, or a location, but in a “Who.” To see the kingdom of God, look to Jesus and not take our eyes off of Him. . Then Jesus turns his attention to the disciples. He uses this as a moment to warn us. Hardship has a tendency to make us desperate. Struggle will increase, and in your longing, false prophets will tell us “the end of your struggle is over there.” But Jesus tells us, DON’T GET DISTRACTED! Many of us define God’s will by the path of least resistance. That’s why we’re so easily distracted and lead astray. In our desperation and longing for Christ, we are easily distracted by counterfeit christs who offer us ease, and require nothing of us. Stay. On. The. Path. Don’t turn to deception in our exhaustion, because that’s when deception is at its strongest. Christ gives us several descriptions to protect us! He tells us when He comes back, everyone will know. It will be undebatable. There will be NO room for skepticism. None will foresee it, but everyone will see it at once. He also tells us that His return will come with suffering and persecution. Jesus tells us His kingdom will come through suffering. So, the return of Christ will NOT come with ease and everything we want. So we should not lose focus on Christ in our own suffering. When you suffer for Jesus, it doesn’t mean you are outside of God. It means that you are most likely, right where you need to be. And we should remain undistracted by the normal good of life. The pursuit of the normal good life can be incredibly distracting. When Christ comes back, life will be normal. We’re living, working, playing, eating and drinking, and we’re in relationships. It’s SUPER easy to build a life without Christ. People think that there’s going to be a lead up to the return of Christ - things changing, stuff start shutting down. But it’s going to be abrupt. That’s what Christ is telling us here. The normal good life carries the ability to mask our pursuit of Christ. Jesus will one day show up, and the life we live with is the life we will be judge by. The normal good life doesn’t sound too evil. But if we’re hypnotized by it, and we have no energy placed in the pursuit of Jesus when He shows up, then we’ll lose our life and the life we hoped to live. Lastly, the arrival of the Kingdom will cause separation. Many, in the end, will cling to the life behind us. We shouldn’t.

And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:11-19 . We all have something in our lives that makes us feel like we’re on the outside looking in. That's what these lepers are experiencing prior to this story. Leprosy meant complete exclusion in Jewish culture. This is a picture of all of us: because of sin, we are all on the outside, and all have a need we can't fulfill ourselves. The lepers in this story understood that. They refer to Jesus as "Master"--using a word that meant "one who has authority over all else." Even what they ask for specifically--not just "healing," but "mercy," shows their understanding of their complete and utter dependency on Jesus. Jesus doesn't touch them or heal them as an immediate response--instead he commands them to go to the priests, and they respond to that by submitting to his command, understanding that because of his authority the command superseded all other circumstances. The miracle met them along the way--"as they went." By having obedience and faith, they moved before understanding. This is true of our lives--Jesus often asks us to do something before it makes sense. And we must go, and we meet God along the way. Once they were healed, only the Samaritan--the one most on the outside of Jewish culture--who came back. Oftentimes, it is those who are most on the "outside" who are most receptive to mercy. And this Samaritan fully gives himself over to the praise he offered God--"praising with a loud voice" and "falling on his face." This is the posture we should adopt in our own heart when we express thanks to God for his mercy and blessings. Like this Samaritan leper, we should not separate the gifts we receive from the ones who gives it. We should not be like the nine who never returned to offer thanks. It is easy, when we ask something of God and receive it, to get caught up in living our own lives and forget the one who gave it to us. Don't forget God's mercy and be lulled into a life of forgetful comfort without taking a moment to say thank you to the Master for his Mercy. Jesus tells the thankful Samaritan his faith has made him "well," using the same word the Bible uses for salvation--all ten of the men received healing in their body, but the Samaritan received healing and deliverance for something deeper than his skin. His soul was touched. Sermon Notes: April 26, 2026 On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. “Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’” Luke 17:1-10 In this text, Jesus is no longer speaking to the Pharisees, but is speaking to the disciples, such that they might conduct themselves in a way that would not allow sin the air to breathe. Sin is a trap: when we indulge in it, it hurts us. Jesus notes that this life will have plenty of these traps, but he also pronounces "Woe" on the one who sets the trap. He pronounces "woe" on those who would twist scripture to imply it gives the freedom to sin: to indulge in hate, lust, greed, etc. Those with power and influence who twist scripture in this way can shatter the faith of their victim, and Jesus says that it would be better if their physical body were destroyed than if they face the consequences of hurting people in this way. Jesus also notes that the family of God corrects one another AND restores one another, via forgiveness. We are called to correct our brothers and sisters, but not in a way that defeats or humiliates. We must perpetually correct and forgive. It is an indictment of the family of God when we serve a God who forgives but don't extend that forgiveness to others ourselves. When the apostles are told they must perpetually forgive they understand the implications and realize they can only do so via God's direct help. There's no way a person can live this way without God's help. Jesus says that it's only possible through faith... even faith the size of a tiny mustard seed. The passage ends with a parable of a servant given responsibilities. You do not celebrate a servant who does only what he is commanded. We are commanded to forgive and to have faith. We get no special gift or celebration for fulfilling our duty. God has done so much for us already. He owes us nothing more. Sermon Notes: 4/19/26 And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. “Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded?

And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”Luke 16: 19-31 Jesus tells this parable to the Pharisees who use their position to justify their greed and love of money. Note the contrast between Lazarus and the rich man.. The rich man lives sumptuously. Lazarus lives in poverty, wishing only to quell his hunger with scraps from the rich man’s table.Lazarus is denied food every day. At death, the rich man is in hell and torment, but Lazarus is in heaven and finally at peace. Notice the role that the dogs play in the story: their care for Lazarus contrasts with the rich man's denial of Lazarus's worth. Also note that Jesus gives the poor man a name: “Lazarus.” It means “the one who God helps.” That is the only thing we need to know about this man. The rich man instead is known only for his money and his status and security. We must ask ourselves what name we have written on our heart. When the characters die, Lazarus “who God helps” is now helped by God into heaven. But the rich man has no one to help him. None of His possessions and wealth and status can save him when he leaves this world. The rich man asks for two things: 1)Mercy from his suffering, which is denied. Hell is what happens when the provider of life is no longer there to sustain it. This man is not in hell because he was rich, but because he trusted in his riches to keep him safe. The man even says “send Lazarus” to provide me relief. He knows the man’s name. He knew him and still ignored him. And we are shown the audacity of his pride, to ask Abraham to order Lazarus to help him. He still sees Lazarus as a servant. His heart is still prideful, even in his suffering. Make no mistake that in life, Lazarus was at the rich man’s gate - a barrier between them. And now, there is still a gate between them. 2)The second thing the rich man asks for is a warning for his family. But he’s still asking Abraham to order Lazarus! And Abraham’s answer is striking! If your family won’t believe what the forefathers said to do, they wouldn’t believe someone coming back from the dead either! We get examples of that in Jesus's ministry and even via Jesus himself. The Pharisees still reject the sign Jesus shows them, when he resurrected Lazarus during His time. And their fate is the same of everyone in our time who rejects Jesus’s own resurrection. We should identify ourselves with Lazarus - the “one who God helps.” Recognize the help you need today is not with what is in your bank account. But your greatest need is Christ Jesus, in whom we have everything we need. Don’t wait until you are on the other side, to see those around you as God sees them. By then, it’s too late.

And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her. On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:11-31 In most any documentary, the filmmaker will pull in many different people to have many different perspectives so that we get a better story. That is what is happening in our text with the story of the resurrection of Jesus. Each encounter with Jesus tells us something about living the Christian life. In the first story, Mary has an encounter with the resurrected savior as she is weeping over someone seemingly having taken the body of her Lord. Mary had been delivered and discipled throughout Jesus’s ministry. In a culture where women were second class citizens, Jesus raises their dignity and honor. Jesus calls her name, “Mary” and she recognizes His voice. And from that moment, everything immediately changes. Her posture shifts from a woman grieving to a woman who is given a message! And He tells her to give the message to “His brothers.” The resurrection of Jesus makes us all family. This is the only time that Jesus uses the word “brother” to talk about His disciples. Note that even when we, like Mary, lose sight of his plan, He still knows our name. The disciples encounter Jesus as well. Afraid for their lives, they had locked themselves inside a room. There are only ten people there. But then ten people become eleven. Jesus appears and says “peace be with you.” And Jesus shows them His wounds. Note the interesting different aspects of Jesus's resurrected body. He remains recognizable and retains His wounds, eventually he will eat with them, but he’s also moving into and out of rooms without opening the door! The emotion in the room shifts immediately! From sadness and fear to peace. And again, we see Jesus's audience transition from followers to apostles and missionaries, as He gives them a mission. Last, we have Thomas’s encounter. Thomas makes a bold statement. He is doubtful of the disciples' claim that Jesus is back alive. Thomas was grieving not only his master, but the hopes of his future. His hopes have been so damaged, that he doesn't believe the 10 men he’d spent the last 3 years of his life with when they say “Jesus is alive!” And with one incredible gesture, Jesus shows up right in the middle of His doubt, and shows Thomas mercy. Jesus doesn’t abandon the doubting. He comes after them! And Thomas calls Jesus “My Master and my Creator!” His posture moves from doubt to awe! And that’s why John closes the way He closes. “I wrote this book so that you might read and believe.” Like any good documentary, John pulls together several points of view, so we get a full picture of the story! Sermon notes April 5, 2026 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her. On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’” The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” Matthew 21:1-11 “Who is this?” Is the question before us in the text today. The response from the crowd is very different depending on the identity they perceive. Prophecy shows us who this is - This is the first time that Jesus presents Himself as king. He fulfills the prophecy regarding the coming king of Jerusalem. Jesus enters Jerusalem, not as a random man, but a king that was centuries in the making. He knows everything about this moment! It demonstrates that he is not just a man. He is making his announcement as “the ancient of days.” If he knows everything at this moment, then it means he knows everything that is about to happen to Him. And it highlights that His love for us is not accidental. He is the King of Promise. Matthew even gives us the genealogy of Jesus, showing that he is in the line of succession of David and of Abraham. But note how He comes - not as a conquering king like Rome or Caesar. He comes on a colt, and he doesn’t even have a saddle. The cloaks on the donkey is a mark of disgraceful poverty. The kingdom of God is different than the kingdoms of this world. It is not diminished by humility. Before the city even gets to ask “who is this” prophecy has already answered. Praise shows us who this is - They laid out cloaks on the ground for Him to enter and Palm branches and are shouting “Hosana.” This is a royal welcome! A welcome for a king. Hosanna is a Hebrew plea “I beg you to save (us deliver) us.” The crowd is even singing scripture aloud in reaction to what they are seeing. Yet even upon entering, he is prepared to be the “stone rejected by the builders” and in response to this, the lord tells us “if we were to keep silent, creation itself, the stones, would cry out to praise.” For all the shouting and all the branches and cloaks, the question is still asked - “who is this.” The answer that comes is "the prophet Jesus". They’re not wrong. But they’re not right either. The tragedy of this moment is that you can be near all the praise and worship, and still miss the point of it. Jesus is the king. He is worthy of praise. Lastly, Jesus shows us who He is through propitiation. The truth of his actions are loaded with meaning. The crowd crying Hosanna (which means save us) is answered by Jesus’s action. Scripture affirms itself over and over, Jesus’s mission was to save the world from sin. The king comes, but he comes to die. The triumphal entry is triumphant, but it also comes through sacrifice. Jesus is the sacrifice, the propitiation, for our sins. So the crowds cry “save us” and the Gospel answers, “I will.” If Jesus is only a prophet, we still have no peace with God. If Jesus is King and Lord and God, and sacrifices Himself as a perfect blood sacrifice for all sin - the world’s cry “Hosanna” - save us. Your answer of “who is this” changes everything. If he is king, submit to Him, and If he is Savior, trust Him.

If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’” The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” Matthew 21:1-11 “Who is this?” Is the question before us in the text today. The response from the crowd is very different depending on the identity they perceive. Prophecy shows us who this is - This is the first time that Jesus presents Himself as king. He fulfills the prophecy regarding the coming king of Jerusalem. Jesus enters Jerusalem, not as a random man, but a king that was centuries in the making. He knows everything about this moment! It demonstrates that he is not just a man. He is making his announcement as “the ancient of days.” If he knows everything at this moment, then it means he knows everything that is about to happen to Him. And it highlights that His love for us is not accidental. He is the King of Promise. Matthew even gives us the genealogy of Jesus, showing that he is in the line of succession of David and of Abraham. But note how He comes - not as a conquering king like Rome or Caesar. He comes on a colt, and he doesn’t even have a saddle. The cloaks on the donkey is a mark of disgraceful poverty. The kingdom of God is different than the kingdoms of this world. It is not diminished by humility. Before the city even gets to ask “who is this” prophecy has already answered. Praise shows us who this is - They laid out cloaks on the ground for Him to enter and Palm branches and are shouting “Hosana.” This is a royal welcome! A welcome for a king. Hosanna is a Hebrew plea “I beg you to save (us deliver) us.” The crowd is even singing scripture aloud in reaction to what they are seeing. Yet even upon entering, he is prepared to be the “stone rejected by the builders” and in response to this, the lord tells us “if we were to keep silent, creation itself, the stones, would cry out to praise.” For all the shouting and all the branches and cloaks, the question is still asked - “who is this.” The answer that comes is "the prophet Jesus". They’re not wrong. But they’re not right either. The tragedy of this moment is that you can be near all the praise and worship, and still miss the point of it. Jesus is the king. He is worthy of praise. Lastly, Jesus shows us who He is through propitiation. The truth of his actions are loaded with meaning. The crowd crying Hosanna (which means save us) is answered by Jesus’s action. Scripture affirms itself over and over, Jesus’s mission was to save the world from sin. The king comes, but he comes to die. The triumphal entry is triumphant, but it also comes through sacrifice. Jesus is the sacrifice, the propitiation, for our sins. So the crowds cry “save us” and the Gospel answers, “I will.” If Jesus is only a prophet, we still have no peace with God. If Jesus is King and Lord and God, and sacrifices Himself as a perfect blood sacrifice for all sin - the world’s cry “Hosanna” - save us. Your answer of “who is this” changes everything. If he is king, submit to Him, and If he is Savior, trust Him.

And he said to them, 'You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void. Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.'" Sermon Notes: 3/22/26 God never confronts without the intent to comfort. At first glance, this passage can feel like Jesus is just offering a handful of sayings without much cohesion, but there is a thread running thoughout. He’s exposing the unrighteousness of those who bend the Word of God to their own desires. These are a unified rebuke to the Pharisees. But this text is not just about them… it can be about us. This rebuke is to people who look the part, but their hearts cling to unrighteousness. Jesus isn’t just addressing pagans: he’s addressing those who consider themselves righteous. The text doesn’t allow us to hide. It exposes us, and allows us to openly run to Jesus as the comforter. There’s nothing wrong with having stuff.... but God weighs the heart. The righteousness of man collides with the kingdom of God. The things that are exalted before men are an abomination before God. The text, with its rebuke of the Pharisees as "lovers of money," offers a moment for us to take inventory of how we are living in our private lives. We must remember we are justified only by our reliance on Christ. And our standing before God isn’t related to our own strength, or ability, or possessions, but just Christ alone. Remember the Pharisees thought Jesus wasn’t the one that was prophesied by the law. Jesus isn’t anti-law; he is the obedient son the law required. God’s law remains the same. But that law was not just for the Pharisees, it was for us too. We often want holiness without change in who we are. The word of God stands forever. The last verse about marriage seems random and abrupt. In that day, many treated divorce with scandalous indifference. The Pharisees wanted a religious appearance without the focus required. They wanted a loophole to God's law. How close can I get to sin without calling it sin? If we have to ask these questions, we have already sinned. Kingdom righteousness says “Lord, search me.” This verse was not meant to be used as a way to harm the people of God. This verse is to confront those who treat God’s laws lightly, or those who would reshape God’s word to protect our idols. We’re doing the same thing for which God confronts the hard-hearted Pharisees. God does not let the covenant breakers hide behind technicalities. And that’s why this text is mercy - as it is better to be exposed and offer our hearts to God, than to be exposed later, never having offered Him what He’s owed.

And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’ And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.’ So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ He said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” Sermon Notes: 3/15/2026 This is one of Jesus's more complicated parables, but it is ultimately about stewardship. In Jesus's time, it was normal for a slave to act as a household manager for his master. In this parable, the manager is removed from office, but on his way out the door he becomes very productive. We can tell from the large amounts that the debtors in this story are businessmen operating at a large scale. The manager makes deals with these businessmen and thus gains favor in the community even as his favor with his mater deteriorates. So even as he is kicked out, he is making arrangements to be welcomed into a new home. So regardless of his reasons, we must note that the manager is crafty and shrewd. In the end even the master tells the manager he is done well. So what are we to take from the parable? The manager, a sinner, has his eyes set on his destiny. He is operating with more shrewdness regarding temporal circumstances than Christians often operate regarding eternal circumstances. We must be more committed to making investments in the next life than the world is in making investments in this life. If we believe eternity is real, it should change our urgency and change how we operate with our resources--time, talent, and treasure! This is a diagnostic of our character. After the parable, Jesus moves from a story about stewardship to a diagnostic about how we handle money. Jesus's point is that money just unmasks who we really are. What we do with what we have reveals the state of our heart. Jesus explains that what we have in our possession is not even really ours. Even we ourselves belong to God. Jesus paid a heavy price for us. If we truly understand what we have received in Christ, it frees us to give of what we have. We realize that we are already infinitely wealthy, and thus can give generously of our time, talent, and treasure. Luke 16: 1-13 He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions.

We realize that we are already infinitely wealthy, and thus can give generously of our time, talent, and treasure. Luke 16: 1-13 He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions.

And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” ' . Two questions: 1) Who does God seek after? 2) How does he pursue those He seeks after? . Through the previous verses, we see Jesus bouncing back and forth over people who God doesn’t seek after. And He ends those parables, saying “Those who have ears, let them hear.” And this chapter starts with “the tax collectors and sinners (habitualy crooked people - rule benders, and rule abandoners) have decided to follow Christ - to “hear.” But pharisees and scribes who were in the crowd who heard Jesus’ jarring message about discipleship, and were not happy about this message. They saw the sinners and tax collectors as reprehensible, but also viewed themselves above. They don’t see themselves as equals in sin as the sinners. Jesus seeks after everyone, but those who can’t see their own lost-ness and aren’t humble about their condition will miss the glory of God. Jesus invites everyone to be restored at His table. . God goes after us “diligently” and “relentlessly,” and God is not content to let us stay lost. The lost often find themselves in many situations - lostness is equated with darkness. We’re not just IN the darkness. We WERE the darkness. If Jesus doesn’t come for us, our situation is hopeless. A lost sheep’s situation is hopeless without the shepherd coming for them. Thank God we serve a God who is a good shepherd! And when He finds us, He is joyful! This parable says that He carries the sheep back to the herd on His shoulders. This is the image of a sheep that is too weak, injured, or empty. Our lord carries the burden that we are too weak to carry ourselves. . The Pharisees and Scribes in this verse think that they are strong enough to carry their own burdens. None of us can carry the burdens of our sin. When God brings us home, there is a celebration in heaven over the return of a soul. And thank God that the Lord spends more on the party than the cost of the sheep or coin that is returned. . The joy of the Lord carries no price tag. Now look at the other souls the way God looks at us. We are all precious in his sight. Let this joy inform the way we look at those around us!

Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” This story has a lot in common with the parable before it. As the parable, the story involves a lot of people who are presumptuous and prideful. Jesus tells them that if they are not careful, and if they remain so presumptuous that they will always be accepted, that they might miss the biggest party ever. The story reveals that, while everyone is invited to Jesus's party, we don't necessarily have the right to do whatever we want there. Crowds form around Jesus for a great number of reasons, but disciples are only formed when we believe what Jesus says and believe he deserves our life which he desires. Why does Jesus tell people to hate our mother and father in this passage? Elsewhere, Jesus tells us to love our friends and family. The hatred he speaks of is not a venomous hatred: it is about priority: family should be put at such a distant second to the things of God that the difference could feel like hatred. A disciple of Jesus will live their life based on the words and ways of Jesus regardless of what friends and family say is best. The crowd may follow Jesus up to the point where people are inconvenienced, but true disciples know that when Jesus asks us to do something we must obey even if it literally strips us of everything. Crowds run from discomfort, but true disciples follow Jesus through discomfort. "Pick up your cross and follow me" is an instruction Christians cannot ignore. To get to the resurrected life, Jesus doesn't avoid suffering: he goes through it. And if we are following him, we should follow him through that suffering all the way to death itself. We are instructed to rejoice in our sufferings, as they create character and strengthen us for the life ahead of us. The Bible never promises prosperity in this life, but in fact promises suffering. We are required to carry a cross. A disciple will pick it up and carry it. But we know that Jesus will never abandon us in suffering. Crowds don't count cost; disciples do. Crowds are more interested in spectacle and energy. They never ask what it means to follow Jesus all their days. They tell themselves if it gets too hard, they can always bail out. Disciples realize that following Christ will cost everything up to and including their lives. And they still follow. Crowd's can't bring the change the world needs. Disciples are empowered by God to do just that. We can only be useful if we follow Jesus's instructions. We may stumble and recover, but those that are only half hearted are not useful.

The people there were all watching him very closely. A man with a bad disease was there in front of him. Jesus said to the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it right or wrong to heal on the Sabbath day?” But they would not answer his question. So he took the man and healed him. Then he sent the man away. Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, “If your son or work animal falls into a well on the Sabbath day, you know you would pull him out immediately.” The Pharisees and teachers of the law could say nothing against what he said. Then Jesus noticed that some of the guests were choosing the best places to sit. So he told this story: “When someone invites you to a wedding, don’t sit in the most important seat. They may have invited someone more important than you. And if you are sitting in the most important seat, they will come to you and say, ‘Give this man your seat!’ Then you will have to move down to the last place and be embarrassed. “So when someone invites you, go sit in the seat that is not important. Then they will come to you and say, ‘Friend, move up here to this better place!’ What an honor this will be for you in front of all the other guests. Everyone who makes themselves important will be made humble. But everyone who makes themselves humble will be made important.” Then Jesus said to the Pharisee who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don’t invite only your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. At another time they will pay you back by inviting you to eat with them. Instead, when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, and the blind. Then you will have great blessings, because these people cannot pay you back. They have nothing. But God will reward you at the time when all godly people rise from death.” One of the men sitting at the table with Jesus heard these things. The man said to him, “It will be a great blessing for anyone to eat a meal in God’s kingdom!” Jesus said to him, “A man gave a big dinner. He invited many people. When it was time to eat, he sent his servant to tell the guests, ‘Come. The food is ready.’ But all the guests said they could not come. Each one made an excuse. The first one said, ‘I have just bought a field, so I must go look at it. Please excuse me.’ Another man said, ‘I have just bought five pairs of work animals; I must go and try them out. Please excuse me.’ A third man said, ‘I just got married; I can’t come.’ “So the servant returned and told his master what happened. The master was angry. He said, ‘Hurry! Go into the streets and alleys of the town. Bring me the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’ “Later, the servant said to him, ‘Master, I did what you told me to do, but we still have places for more people.’ The master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and country roads. Tell the people there to come. I want my house to be full! I tell you, not one of those people I invited first will eat any of this food I prepared." Luke 14: 1-24 In these verses, we see Jesus at a party, but the point of the event is not just to have dinner. Rabbis and preachers were invited to this meal. What’s important to know is that invitations to a party like this would be selected very specifically. Usually, care would be taken to make sure none of those invited would be unclean or risk making other guests unclean. Given that the man with dropsy was present, it’s likely the religious elite has cooked up this scene to see if Jesus would heal the man in defiance of the religious elite’s ideas of law and order. And Jesus is about to turn the tables upside down. Jesus disregards their “passivity toward the broken.” Contrary to what they perceive, Jesus knows why he was invited. So when he heals that man, he asks them a question: “What is the point of God’s law.” The lack of response to Jesus's question shows their lack of understanding, and it uncovers that they are violating the spirit of God’s law by weaponizing the letter of God’s law. We should beware of any desire to use God’s law to justify harming the broken. Jesus disregards the Pharisees' emphasis on pride. Most dinner events like this would have utilized a U-shaped table. The host would be at the center, and the least important people would have been at the tips of the U. In healing this man Jesus shows the Pharisees that they are wrong for believing they are the most important people at this dinner. It's so telling that the Pharisees were fighting for position still EVEN AFTER seeing a miracle! This miracle did not change their hearts. Jesus's parable tells us that we should remain humble in all scenarios, because we will overestimate our importance, and God will show us how lowly we are. Pride doesn’t always look like arrogance; sometimes it’s insecurity. But the most important person in the world already sees us in full. Jesus disregards misdefined priority as he turns his attention from the guests to the host. The host set up this party so that those around Him would be able to show favor toward the host. But Jesus tells the host that when we give honor by inviting guests to a party we should invite the poor, because the poor cannot repay and instead we will be repaid by heaven. The real return of any investment will be the returns we receive in heaven. Finally, Jesus disregards their “presumption.” It seems like this last person is completely oblivious that the sermon is about him directly. So Jesus tells another story - another parable - telling him, “I’m talking to you!” At this dinner party in the parable, the religious elite believe that they can reject the invitation because they’ll always be invited. And to that, the master rejects them, and invites the others, the poor the lame and sick. And tells the religious elite, that their presumption that they deserve to be at the party, is completely wrong. No one deserves to be before the Lord. It is at His mercy that we are invited, and should all consider ourselves to be the poor and sick and lame. May we all approach the Lord’s throne with humility and delight and ask Him where we should be seated! "On a Sabbath day, Jesus went to the home of a leading Pharisee to eat with him. The people there were all watching him very closely. A man with a bad disease was there in front of him. Jesus said to the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it right or wrong to heal on the Sabbath day?” But they would not answer his question. So he took the man and healed him. Then he sent the man away. Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, “If your son or work animal falls into a well on the Sabbath day, you know you would pull him out immediately.” The Pharisees and teachers of the law could say nothing against what he said. Then Jesus noticed that some of the guests were choosing the best places to sit. So he told this story: “When someone invites you to a wedding, don’t sit in the most important seat. They may have invited someone more important than you. And if you are sitting in the most important seat, they will come to you and say, ‘Give this man your seat!’ Then you will have to move down to the last place and be embarrassed. “So when someone invites you, go sit in the seat that is not important.

To illustrate this Jesus uses an image of a hen using her wings to cover her chicks. This is the divine protection that Jesus offers us from the dangers of sin. . Jesus also declares divine justice in the passage. There’s both curse and blessing in this utterance. Jerusalem sought to operate by its own rules, thus the curse. But the blessing is that there is a divine promise of restoration. Jesus will come back! How do we receive His divine restoration? By repenting of the sins we have done and turning to Jesus.

God is calling to us right now. . Jesus is relentless in His pursuit of you and me. He’s willing to give up His life to see ours saved. At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'" Luke 13:31-35 . Sermon notes: Feb 15, 2026 Luke 13: 31-35 . The tone and tenor of this passage conveys that Jesus is relentless in his efforts to pursue those who are unwilling to come to Him. Pay particular attention to three things: 1) Jesus's determination, 2) Jesus's devotion, 3)Jesus's declaration . In the passage, the Pharisees were trying to deter or discourage Jesus from going to Jerusalem. They tell him that Herod wants to kill Him, but Jesus knows that God is sovereign over the life and death of his people. God is in control and Jesus knows there are some things that He still has to accomplish before His death, and thus he would not be deterred. Jesus has insight into the way God enacts His plans. Jesus's path is through a narrow way. He expects us to be willing to go through a narrow way as well. Jesus endured the cross intentionally holding on to and trusting the Father. . Jesus displays a relentless devotion to His people. People in Jerusalem have gotten so caught up in their own self righteousness, that they had no clue that their hearts had become cold and callous. But we serve a God who is married to the weak, and who still who pursues us relentlessly despite our failure. It is a divine obligation that Jesus goes forward to Jerusalem, to die for us sinners. To illustrate this Jesus uses an image of a hen using her wings to cover her chicks. This is the divine protection that Jesus offers us from the dangers of sin. . Jesus also declares divine justice in the passage. There’s both curse and blessing in this utterance. Jerusalem sought to operate by its own rules, thus the curse. But the blessing is that there is a divine promise of restoration. Jesus will come back! How do we receive His divine restoration? By repenting of the sins we have done and turning to Jesus.

And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.” And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.” He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” Luke 13: 18-30 Sermon Notes: 2/8/26 . Just prior to this passage, we saw that Jesus had no problem bucking standards and traditions when he healed on the sabbath. As he healed a woman, Christ brought forward two parables as rebuke to the religious elites: the parable of the mustard seed and the parable of leaven. In the parable of the mustard seed, a small seed grows into a large plant. The seed perseveres and grows into a huge tree. The tiny amount of leaven spreads throughout the large amount of flour. Jesus explains that the hypocrites cannot see the small, wonderful, impactful thing happening right before their eyes: His kingdom is not like what the world expects. His kingdom is anti-self. Because of the fall, all men carry self centeredness. And if we are to access the kingdom of God, it is through an act of denial of self. The kingdom of God is small to the eye, even though it is great in its effects. Jesus is moving from town to town teaching about the kingdom of God. Someone brings a question to Jesus: “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” and the answer he gives is difficult to hear. . It's not a direct answer. Instead, it's an admonition that we should concern ourselves with self examination. Instead of answering the question “will those who enter be few?” Jesus answers, “will of those who enter be YOU?” He implores people to "strive," which implies a fight and struggle. As it relates to salvation, he says the way in is narrow. It is hard to achieve the kingdom. You must struggle and fight and kill your flesh. Die to self! Make yourself the right shape and size to fit through that narrow doorway. This does not contradict other texts where it is made clear that salvation is not based on our own efforts. It is an anti-self message. . These words from Christ tell us that there will be a time when the narrow doorway is closed! Many of those who knew Christ who didn’t fit through the doorway will be turned away from the door. This is purposefully uncomfortable. The Church, and the teaching of Christ is anti-self. If it makes us comfortable, and it seems easy… then it is most likely the wide door, rather than the narrow. . If you lose everything for Jesus, you will win. But if you win much for self, you will lose. Our way must be denied, and His way, we must strive and struggle and fight for access through the narrow doorway! He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.” And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

Luke 13: 10-17 "Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people,'There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?' As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him." Many of us suffer through pain that never goes away. Chronic suffering can completely change the way you’re thinking. This text shows us someone with chronic suffering. But your condition does not speak to your value, and Jesus sees your value despite your suffering. The text takes place in a synagogue on the sabbath. This is an ordinary woman who has suffered through this illness for 18 years, to the point her condition feels like her normal life. But Luke calls us to see her as someone deserving of attention, telling us to "behold" her. She isn't given a name, but rather she is known as a list of her conditions. Keep in mind that 18 years is long enough for people to stop asking how she is doing, because she would always be the same. She, of course, would have suffered isolation from this as well, as a condition would become seen as inability, and inability eventually becomes invisibility. But Jesus saw her, so we should see her. Jesus calls her over and heals her. He sees her, points her out, and in this moment, Jesus doesn’t just heal her, but he restores her. In that one moment, Jesus frees her in both body and mind and in society. We have a real enemy in this world, but God is sovereign and can restore everything within our suffering. Jesus restored her from a nameless, faceless list of infirmities, to a “daughter of Abraham,” which is covenant language. This name signifies her belonging to God as one of His chosen people. For 18 years she probably didn’t feel like she was a part of that. But now, she is restored in full - not just in body! The ruler of the synagogue gets mad because he feels his control and social power threatened by Jesus. So, he confronts the people rather than Jesus directly and complains that his order and control are falling apart. His indignation reveals that he prefers order over mercy and tradition over tenderness. Jesus confronts him, and everyone else like him, as hypocrites. He speaks about those who say they follow God while being empty of mercy. Mercy is meant to be a regular rhythm of our lives! So when Jesus healed this woman, He wasn’t breaking the sabbath, but rather fulfilling it, as the Sabbath is a day of reminder of man’s freedom from oppression. These hypocrites would loosen the bonds of their own livestock on the sabbath, but wouldn’t loosen the bonds of the people around them. Jesus doesn’t name us by our diagnosis, but calls us by love. Remember that Jesus didn’t shun the woman with the disabling spirit, but called her a daughter of Abraham and freed her. Sermon notes: Feb 2, 2026.

Chronic suffering can completely change the way you’re thinking. This text shows us someone with chronic suffering. But your condition does not speak to your value, and Jesus sees your value despite your suffering. The text takes place in a synagogue on the sabbath. This is an ordinary woman who has suffered through this illness for 18 years, to the point her condition feels like her normal life. But Luke calls us to see her as someone deserving of attention, telling us to "behold" her. She isn't given a name, but rather she is known as a list of her conditions. Keep in mind that 18 years is long enough for people to stop asking how she is doing, because she would always be the same. She, of course, would have suffered isolation from this as well, as a condition would become seen as inability, and inability eventually becomes invisibility. But Jesus saw her, so we should see her. Jesus calls her over and heals her. He sees her, points her out, and in this moment, Jesus doesn’t just heal her, but he restores her. In that one moment, Jesus frees her in both body and mind and in society. We have a real enemy in this world, but God is sovereign and can restore everything within our suffering. Jesus restored her from a nameless, faceless list of infirmities, to a “daughter of Abraham,” which is covenant language. This name signifies her belonging to God as one of His chosen people. For 18 years she probably didn’t feel like she was a part of that. But now, she is restored in full - not just in body! The ruler of the synagogue gets mad because he feels his control and social power threatened by Jesus. So, he confronts the people rather than Jesus directly and complains that his order and control are falling apart. His indignation reveals that he prefers order over mercy and tradition over tenderness. Jesus confronts him, and everyone else like him, as hypocrites. He speaks about those who say they follow God while being empty of mercy. Mercy is meant to be a regular rhythm of our lives! So when Jesus healed this woman, He wasn’t breaking the sabbath, but rather fulfilling it, as the Sabbath is a day of reminder of man’s freedom from oppression. These hypocrites would loosen the bonds of their own livestock on the sabbath, but wouldn’t loosen the bonds of the people around them. Jesus doesn’t name us by our diagnosis, but calls us by love. Remember that Jesus didn’t shun the woman with the disabling spirit, but called her a daughter of Abraham and freed her. Sermon notes: Feb 2, 2026.

And he answered them “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. 9 Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’” Luke 13:1-9 With our repentance, our lives should change in a way that iimpacts the world around us. Repentance is required to follow Christ. At the very beginning of Jesus's ministry the Bible records Jesus saying “Repent!” This is not something that is up for negotiation in the life of a Christian. God calls every man and every woman to repent. Jesus’s entrance into our life brings division - it should be a shift in our allegiance away from the things we hold dear, with our topmost allegiance given to Jesus. And that will cause disruption. Repentance means “radical change of heart and mind.” The Greek word translated as repentence, "metanoia," denotes a fundamental change within the self: of mind and heart. There is no entrance into the kingdom of Jesus without a change of heart and mind. In this text, Jesus sets conditions for repentance. There is urgency in all of Jesus’s commands to repent. In the height of theological thinking of Jesus's day wasthe belief that sin can bring about your demise; that God strikes people down for their errors. We, too, are prone to this type of thinking. It helps us make sense of the world that doesn’t always make a lot of sense. But truthfully some suffering won't be neatly understood on this side of the grave. So all we can say is “His grace is sufficient.” We can’t make sense of all the suffering in the world. Nevertheless, Jesus calls us to change. He shows us that ultimately ALL suffering is because of ALL sin. And greater suffering awaits those who don’t turn from their own sinful ways. Jesus forces us away from thinking that the outcomes people encounter are equivalent to their sin. Everyone suffers. And all sin leads to all death. Without repentance, we all will face death. Without Christ, we are all 1 minute away from the worst possible eternal outcome. It is the sin in the world that ensures there will be suffering in this life. But it is sin in your life that ensures your suffering in the next life. It is with urgency that we must turn to Christ and away from our sin. Believe and repent. Unless shift away from the gods of this world towards the savior Jesus Christ, we will actually truly suffer. All of us begin life by rejecting the savior - by being a fruitless fig tree. But true repentance always comes with fruit. Repentance without fruit is self deception. Your life cannot express metanoia on the inside, without showing metanoia on the outside. The way we live our lives with those around us changes. What does it look like: Selfish people becoming more generous. Scheming people becoming more genuine. Savage people become more gentle. When our heart and mind have changed, it doesn’t just happen on the inside. It happens on the outside. In the last parable, Jesus offers us a comfort and a caution. If we lay claim to a lord, but bear no fruit as though we are not connected to that lord, then one day we will be cut off. We can say “I’ve been in church all my life” but if our life doesn’t reflect that, then one day we shall be removed. But the comfort is that we have the chance to reorient ourselves and point our lives toward Christ. He is still giving us grace through His grace, His time and His nurturing. If you do not know Christ, this is an invitation. He is so merciful and so caring. Come to know Him. Turn from your sin and repent.

I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.'” Luke 12:49-59 In this text, what does Jesus mean when he says he came to cast fire on the earth and what does he mean when he says “He has a baptism that He must be baptized with?” Jesus is heading to the cross, and the whole world is heading toward the dividing line of the cross: The gospel message is a fire that will purify some and consume others. The cross must be embraced and the one who hung on the cross must be embraced to avoid being consumed by that fire. Jesus will be fully immersed in the act of absorbing all the sins of the world. This is the baptism he speaks of. He carried an amazing weight for me and for you and for the world. This act on the cross will always lead to division: father against son, mother against daughter, families against family. . Now, typically, we hear of Jesus bringing peace! The best way for us to understand this challenging passage is to see Matthew chapter 10, verse 34-37, where Jesus says He has not come to bring peace, but a sword, and that whoever loves father and mother more than Him, is not worthy of Him. That’s the kind of division Christ is bringing - a shift in our allegiance. By declaring that nothing in life comes before Him, He creates division.. Christ has called us to total allegiance. He has called us to accept the lowly and the poor, to reject sexual immorality and lies. And these divisions occur when we reject the gods of cruelty and hypocrisy who are posing as Jesus Himself. . We don’t come to know God by knowing people who seem smart and socially acceptable. We come to know Jesus by looking past those playing roles the world ranks highly. The only way to come to know God is by fixing our eyes upon Him. Don’t wait until you are before the judge to accept the reality of Jesus’ work. It is urgent that you respond to the cross. Sermon Notes Jan 11 'I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished!

Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?” And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more. Luke: 12: 35-48 The people of God are the Family of God. The word to focus on in this passage is “Awake.” The enemy is active in our lives in many ways that can cause us to be lulled to sleep, believing that he is not there. The enemy has devices and schemes he applies to God’s people. We are to stay awake for the eventual return of Christ. “Stay dressed for action” or “Gird up your loins” is the phrase used here - meaning there is action to be completed. Jesus describes the people who are in this parable as eagerly preparing for His return. They are so ready that when there is a knock on the door, they immediately open the door because they’ve been waiting. The knock on our door doesn’t wait for our old age. We cannot afford to be unprepared. Jesus called those who are awake “Blessed.” Those who are awaiting the knock and are in an alert posture for the master's return are actually served by the master! He will return that blessing of service back to those who are ready. We serve a God who delights to attend to us! The caution here is that we should be following Christ because we love Him. Not just when it’s convenient, or because everyone else is. Lastly, we should stay awake in our “assigned lane.” Peter has to ask: “Jesus, is this parable for the crowd or for us?” And Jesus answers “whatever lane you are in, just be ready!” Whatever task or lane He has appointed us to walk, we are to do our job and be ready. For those who misuse their authority or who don’t do what they’re supposed to do, there will be consequences. There are two ways this plays out. 1) Debauchery - the master isn’t here and he ain’t coming back, so I have to get my own comfort. And 2) injustice - the master isn’t here to protect you, so give me what you have. But here is what this posture forgets - the master is coming back! And there will be accountability!

While Isaiah’s original audience lived in a state of anticipation for a Messiah they had not yet seen, we celebrate His first arrival while waiting with certainty for His second. . The People in Darkness have seen a Great Light. The world is described as a place of chaos, sin, and deep darkness. Often, we try to escape this darkness by turning to "flickering candles" like politics, systems, or self-help, which only lead to further disorder. Isaiah reminds us that the only true solution to the coldness of the world and the soul is Jesus, the Great Light whose words and work on the cross illuminate our paths and provide salvation. . A Great Deliverer brings Joy and Freedom. Christ’s arrival brings a "past tense certainty" of victory, moving us from a "scarcity soul" that fights for worldly scraps to a life of abundance. He is a deliverer who breaks the yoke of oppression and the rod of sin. This deliverance does not come through human ingenuity or strength—illustrated by the story of Gideon’s 300 men—but exclusively through the power of God. . A Great King and an Eternal Kingdom. The child born in Bethlehem is "God with us," the fulfillment of ancient prophecy. Isaiah gives Him four titles that define His perfect rule: Wonderful Counselor: He rules with divine wisdom rather than confusion. Mighty God: Though a gentle child, He possesses the power to shatter all bondage. Everlasting Father: Unlike earthly leaders with a shelf life, He rules forever with benevolence and mercy. Prince of Peace: He establishes an eternal shalom, replacing chaos with flourishing and rest. . A Reign with No End. Unlike earthly kingdoms that eventually rot or fail, the government of Christ will never be diminished; it will only increase. It is a kingdom built on justice and righteousness that will stand forever. In the midst of life's distractions, we must "press through the fog" to remember that nothing matters more than our worship of this King.

Greetings can be glimpses into the souls of who is both the greeter and the receiver. . The word “Apostle” means the “one who was sent.” Paul was specifically assigned to the Gentiles by God: not randomly. God can use our successes AND failures to set us up right where he has called us to be. Paul describes himself as a servant - which is a glimpse into the Christian life. We accept Christ by laying claim to Christ, BUT also allowing Christ to lay claim to us! We cannot be brought as servants to Christ’s family and still do whatever we want. What part of your life are you still holding onto for yourself and not handing over to God? . Paul tells us that the Gospel/Good News, was promised before the beginning of the world. God promised us provision from the beginning of our fallen state all the way until the end of time. When Jesus came he was not only spiritual offspring but the physical offspring of David as well. We need someone.who not only loves us deeply but has deep power as well. Jesus possessed that: he canceled our debt through his death, but also showed that he can take that cancellation all the way to the Throne of God by resurrecting on the third day. . This greeting is filled with words of confidence: If God is powerful enough to do what He has done in the person of Jesus through the stretches of time, and bring Jesus out of the tomb, then he can navigate your life for the next 24 hours and beyond. . Christ has given an assignment to us. We have not received redemption just to watch. We have received redemption to share the word of that redemption. In light of Jesus’s life death burial and resurrection, anything that Christ assigns to us, ANYTHING, is grace to us! Do you know the kind of nerve you have to have to complain about the assignment you’ve been given by an almighty amazing Holy God - To be assigned work in the kingdom, and then complain about it?

See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives early and late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble against one another, Brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold the judge is standing at the door. As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful." James 5:7-11 In this passage, Biblical patience is illustrated via the picture of a farmer. Note that a farmer is patient, but he is not idle. He is always weeding, repairing tools, building walls, etc. A farmer cares for what has been entrusted to him. Likewise, while we wait on God, and his perfect timing, we also must work. When we reap the benefit, the wait-time will seem short. We wait with hope and joy, anticipating the coming relief. How we wait is important: we must establish and strengthen our heart to have spiritual resolve and not waiver. Discouragement can make you want to give up, but in the passage, James gives us motivation. He tells us to "be patient, for the coming of the Lord is at hand." Our fulfillment isn't far off! Each moment brings us closer to Jesus's return! And how should we shore up our resolve? By preaching the gospel to ourselves! Impatience can tempt us to grumble and complain, and can be a joy killer that spreads to others in the community. When Jesus comes back, would we want him to find us being miserable and causing one another to be miserable? Of course not. A heart filled with negativity will displease our father in heaven. Remember that the end of the story is blessing, and those who are patient will be blessed.

"For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Crhst has welcomed you, for the glory of God. For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, 'Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.' And again it says 'Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.' And again, 'Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples extol him.' And again Isaiah says, 'The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.' May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Romans 15: 4-13 This text serves as Paul’s last official instructional moment for the people of God at Rome. It is a text that is calling us to remain bound to Christ, but also bound to one another. When we think about biblical peace, it’s more than the absence of conflict. Biblical peace represents wholeness and completeness. The arrival of Jesus means the arrival of “Shalom” wholeness of peace between God and His people. Jesus arrived with peace, but when he ascended, he left peace behind with us! We’ve been given this peace with God because the Holy Spirit and salvation has been left with us and his word has been left with us. Because of this, peace may exist among all the faithful. This peace is one aspect of our testimony to the world as we wait for Jesus's Second Coming. So we must ask ourselves: What does it mean to be the kind of people who profess a God who came with peace, left peace and is coming with peace? The groups that Paul is writing to here are a people disrupted by class, ethnicity, etc. but Paul is showing us that there is hope for peace within all that division. Paul argues that strong gospel minded Christians have an obligation to bear with and carry their weak Gospel minded Christian siblings. We are to lovingly bear with our brothers and sisters who may be too tied up with laws and restrictions of conscience.With intentionality, we are to uplift our Christian siblings who we could easily be divided from over these matters of conscience. You and I need help to do this, so we should pray! It’s going to take endurance to live this life, but it takes God to give that endurance and encouragement. It is to God we must appeal over and over in order to live in harmony with our fellow Christians. If your life is empty of seeking endurance from the one who holds it, is it surprising that you are lacking the endurance you need? We are to welcome one another as Christ has welcomed us. Accept one another as Christ has accepted us: in our differences. Why should we accept all these differences? Because Christ accepts us. Who are we to erect higher standards for kinship than Christ? We might disagree on matters of politics or culture, but we have the same Savior by faith. So we accept those who are different than us, because Christ has accepted us and them as well! And why should we do this? Because God is glorified when Christians are able to disregard our partisanship and accept our fellow brothers and sisters. We have been given the power to live lives that are filled with gospel peace/shalom. The joy in our peace comes through our dependence on Christ's actions on the cross. You and I have no excuse to live on as division makers. We have been given holy power to live peacefully despite our differences, which will make others outside of the faith say “there’s something different and awesome about those people! I want that too!” Sermon notes - 12/7/25 Romans 15 4-13 . Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg .

We might disagree on matters of politics or culture, but we have the same Savior by faith. So we accept those who are different than us, because Christ has accepted us and them as well! And why should we do this? Because God is glorified when Christians are able to disregard our partisanship and accept our fellow brothers and sisters. We have been given the power to live lives that are filled with gospel peace/shalom. The joy in our peace comes through our dependence on Christ's actions on the cross. You and I have no excuse to live on as division makers. We have been given holy power to live peacefully despite our differences, which will make others outside of the faith say “there’s something different and awesome about those people! I want that too!” Sermon notes - 12/7/25 Romans 15 4-13 . Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg .

"Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." Romans 13: 11-14 . What is advent about? Advent signifies the arrival of someone or something significant. For the Christian, Advent is about the arrival of the person of Jesus Christ. And in that context, advent has a double meaning: we remember Jesus's first arrival, but we also look forward with anticipation and awe for His second coming. So, what should we do since we live between two significant seasons like this? We wait. And we prepare. And that is what advent is about for us - waiting. By nature, we are not good waiters. We get antsy if we have to wait in traffic for just a single red light. If we don’t receive something “now” we begin to lose our focus and our eyes start to drift toward something more easily attainable. But waiting is incredibly important for the Church. In this passage from Romans, Paul gives us reminders to wait. He reminds us that when we stop waiting well, we revert back to our old ways. We forget why we left the darkness, and the enemies of our soul can lull us to sleep. . So waiting simply means to stay awake. In our exhaustion from waiting, we can begin to lose our heart for the Lord because we’re tired, despite knowing the danger. The Enemy tells us “The way you’re living your life is not working.” We must plead for a supernatural ability to stay awake. When we first came to Christ, we came to Him because of His promises. We are now closer to their fulfillment than we have ever been! Christ is close. Christ is coming! And we must stay awake by walking in the love He has given to us. Waiting on advent should be a constant shedding of the garments of darkness. We have a savior who is coming back to right every wrong. With that knowledge, we should walk as in the daytime. . Paul gives us examples of things to take off. At first the focus is on carnal sins like sexual immorality and drunkeness.Then Paul pivots to what seems more acceptable behavior in this world, but the passage reminds us this behavior is still walking in darkness! Discord and jealousy and strife are behaviors we should avoid. We are to cast that off too! We are to put on Jesus Christ and cast of flesh. That's what it is to live in the light.

Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?" And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he though to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops? And he said 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.'" But God said to him 'Foo! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be? So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God." We live in the midst of a culture where we have more than we’ve ever had before, but we have less satisfaction in the things we own than ever before. Immediately prior to this text, Jesus is talking about the power of the Holy Spirit to lead people. In this verse, there's a telling interruption of that: a man asks Jesus to tell his brother to share his inheritance with him. We should not be surprised that money causes disruption. The man probably has the expectation that, as a rabbi, Jesus would sort out this superficial matter. But Jesus, as usual, strikes at the heart of the matter - the man’s insatiable drive for more. In the moment, Jesus uncovers the main problem - that craving for more has disrupted the man's relationships with others. We are to watch out for this in our hearts. And not just against money, against ALL forms of greediness. Jesus gives us this reminder - one’s life does not consist of the abundance of stuff. Which is why you can find the stuff and still feel empty. True abundance is the ability to step into another day satisfied with what God has given you. We’re quick to call out things like sexual sin, but according to scripture we should be just as quick to condemn covetousness in ourselves. The Apostle Paul names greed as idolatry. .

"In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, 'Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God, but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." Luke 12:1-12 Appearances mean a lot to us today. Likewise, in Jesus's day, the Pharisees looked to outward appearances as a way to determine inner appearance. In this text, Jesus tells us to “beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.” Jesus concerns himself not with the huge crowds and the danger of being trampled, but hypocrisy. Jesus’s first words to the disciples in the passage are to call them to watch themselves for hypocrisy. The way leaven works is to spread slowly and quietly, the same way that sin spreads through one's life, such that one's outward appearance doesn’t match what is on the inside. When your life doesn’t match your heart, that is hypocrisy. What Jesus is warning us about is using the mask of religion to mask the pride and enthronement of self on the inside. God hears everything, and we should be aware that our hearts are His to see. There are no secrets that He does not have exposed to Him. Jesus calls we who would follow Him to drop our mask and stand boldly before Him. Be the same person in private that we are in the public. The Pharisees clung to their masks, and missed the freedom that Jesus was offering them. Jesus is inviting us to freedom. Jesus tells us not to fear those that can kill us. For those following Jesus when he was on earth, this was a real danger. And fear can be a great motivator for masking. Fear of bodily harm, or lesser things such as rejection can cause us to mask up. But Jesus tells us whom to actually fear - not man, but God, the Ultimate Judge. He is the one who can cast your soul into Hell. God knows everything about you, even to the strands of hair on your head. And what He knows about you, He loves. The one who holds your eternity in His hands holds you as precious in His heart. So you are free, when you know that the one who sees you fully also loves you fully. We can be set free from the slavery of public opinion. We can unmask. There is more mercy in Christ than there is mess in you. The only sin we can’t be forgiven of is the one where we mask up our entire lives and never allow our hearts to soften to Hear the Spirit’s testimony about Him, and we run out of time in this life to live openly and truthfully before God. Knowing that we are fully loved, we can be willing to fully follow Him. Sermon notes: 11/16/25 Luke 12: 1-12 .

"In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, 'Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God, but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." Luke 12:1-12 Appearances mean a lot to us today. Likewise, in Jesus's day, the Pharisees looked to outward appearances as a way to determine inner appearance. In this text, Jesus tells us to “beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.” Jesus concerns himself not with the huge crowds and the danger of being trampled, but hypocrisy. Jesus’s first words to the disciples in the passage are to call them to watch themselves for hypocrisy. The way leaven works is to spread slowly and quietly, the same way that sin spreads through one's life, such that one's outward appearance doesn’t match what is on the inside. When your life doesn’t match your heart, that is hypocrisy. What Jesus is warning us about is using the mask of religion to mask the pride and enthronement of self on the inside. God hears everything, and we should be aware that our hearts are His to see. There are no secrets that He does not have exposed to Him. Jesus calls we who would follow Him to drop our mask and stand boldly before Him. Be the same person in private that we are in the public. The Pharisees clung to their masks, and missed the freedom that Jesus was offering them. Jesus is inviting us to freedom. Jesus tells us not to fear those that can kill us. For those following Jesus when he was on earth, this was a real danger. And fear can be a great motivator for masking. Fear of bodily harm, or lesser things such as rejection can cause us to mask up. But Jesus tells us whom to actually fear - not man, but God, the Ultimate Judge. He is the one who can cast your soul into Hell. God knows everything about you, even to the strands of hair on your head. And what He knows about you, He loves. The one who holds your eternity in His hands holds you as precious in His heart. So you are free, when you know that the one who sees you fully also loves you fully. We can be set free from the slavery of public opinion. We can unmask. There is more mercy in Christ than there is mess in you. The only sin we can’t be forgiven of is the one where we mask up our entire lives and never allow our hearts to soften to Hear the Spirit’s testimony about Him, and we run out of time in this life to live openly and truthfully before God.

"Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load. Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Andlet us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." Galatians 6:1-10 In these verses, God is describing spiritual community for us. He is teaching us how to act in community: (1) A spiritual community should restore sin gently.We must willing to be vulnerable with one another, and lay aside the "church masks" we sometimes wear: we need to each own our own individual sin, which makes it easier for us to help others and to be helped. We need to remember that we all live imperfect lives and all have failures. This enables a gentle restoration of sin, full of love and understanding rather than pride. . (2) People in spiritual communities carry each other's burdens. This is only possible if we are all willing to let others help us. When we allow others into the messy, dark parts of our lives, we create a space for others to help. We are not designed to do life on our own. We are intended to be part of a church family that can walk through the darkest, scariest parts of our lives with us. . (3) People in spiritual communities should confess their sins openly. Any lie we tell is told to ourselves first, and a lie we believe will affect us as though it is true. The devil is a master manipulator. Confession shouldn’t just be a list of wrongs we tell God, but should also consist of us coming into agreement with what God says about us. When we come into complete confession before God, we realize that our successes are not in us, but in Him and the community He has given us. . (4) Spiritual communities share and give freely with each other and those outside the community. We should share all things in common. We do this for investing in eternity. Your investment of your life in God, the Word of God, and the souls of men are the only investments that will last into eternity. God places people in our hearts and in our path because He is doing something with eternal significance. People in spiritual communities should point one another towards eternity.

"While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.” One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute, so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering. As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things, lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say." Luke 11:37-54 In the Christian life, we need more than a public facing cleanliness. We need a clean internal form to have a true relationship with the Lord. In these verses, Jesus explains what external cleanliness and internal dirtiness are. In the passage, Jesus does not wash His hands while eating a meal. Note that this wasn't about hygiene. Handwashing was all about ceremonial cleanliness in the Jewish community. But this wasn't a requirement; it was a Pharisaical tradition. To be “seen” as clean via things like this ritual, was to be “declared” as actually being clean. That’s what Jesus is calling out here. His point is that cleanliness flows from the heart. Those clean hands of the Pharisees won’t bless those outside of the temple. The surprise of this moment is that Jesus won’t participate in this ceremonial cleanliness. He, the One who made the handwashing, is the same One who sees the filth of the inside of a person's heart. Only the fool thinks he can dress up and fool his Creator like everyone else. God sees all, despite how much cleaning we do externally. . What does it look like to be concerned about the outside rather than the inside? A lack of love of neighbor, and lack of love for God. The Pharisees take the laws given by God to encourage love of neighbor above and beyond their requirements because they wanted to show how great they themselves were. This kind of person looks good on the outside, but fails to be an honest, loving person. Do we give in substance without a giving heart? Do we do a charitable act, but remain resentful of the objects of our giving? Do we mock or ridicule those who we help ,focusing on their shortcomings, rather than noticing the glimmer of light within them? If so, we care more about the outside than the inside A surplus of love of self and platform is an indicator of our internal filthliness. The desire for elevation is a quick way to become cold to those that are standing in your way for elevation. A religion mired in the external is a religion that is lacking a love of God. The next set of woes go to the lawyers in the room. Jesus points out that the lawyers create burdens rather than helping people work through those burdens. If you take more joy in showing how people are missing the mark rather than celebrating the wins of your fellow human, your religion is lacking a love of God. Cleaning the outside of the cup and NOT the inside, is to be given the tools to lift people up but not doing so. Cleaning the outside of the cup AND the inside is to see the humanity in those beside you, and walk through their burdens with them. The text shows two possible responses to this revelation - the Pharisees respond by getting angry. When Jesus uncovers their manipulation they don’t want their hearts addressed, but rather they just want to look good in front of others. However, Jesus invites us to have a second response - mercy. Jesus says we can give as alms what is in us. Instead of external cleanliness, we can offer our heart to God and change when God shows us how we’re failing Him. . When you invite God to search your heart, expect some pain. But that pain is mercy. He delights in healing the wounds within you. Sermon Notes: 10/26/25 Luke 11:29-36 .

Jesus says we can give as alms what is in us. Instead of external cleanliness, we can offer our heart to God and change when God shows us how we’re failing Him. . When you invite God to search your heart, expect some pain. But that pain is mercy. He delights in healing the wounds within you. Sermon Notes: 10/26/25 Luke 11:29-36 .

"While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.” One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute, so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering. As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things, lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say." Luke 11:37-54 In the Christian life, we need more than a public facing cleanliness. We need a clean internal form to have a true relationship with the Lord. In these verses, Jesus explains what external cleanliness and internal dirtiness are. In the passage, Jesus does not wash His hands while eating a meal. Note that this wasn't about hygiene. Handwashing was all about ceremonial cleanliness in the Jewish community. But this wasn't a requirement; it was a Pharisaical tradition. To be “seen” as clean via things like this ritual, was to be “declared” as actually being clean. That’s what Jesus is calling out here. His point is that cleanliness flows from the heart. Those clean hands of the Pharisees won’t bless those outside of the temple. The surprise of this moment is that Jesus won’t participate in this ceremonial cleanliness. He, the One who made the handwashing, is the same One who sees the filth of the inside of a person's heart. Only the fool thinks he can dress up and fool his Creator like everyone else. God sees all, despite how much cleaning we do externally. . What does it look like to be concerned about the outside rather than the inside? A lack of love of neighbor, and lack of love for God. The Pharisees take the laws given by God to encourage love of neighbor above and beyond their requirements because they wanted to show how great they themselves were. This kind of person looks good on the outside, but fails to be an honest, loving person. Do we give in substance without a giving heart? Do we do a charitable act, but remain resentful of the objects of our giving? Do we mock or ridicule those who we help ,focusing on their shortcomings, rather than noticing the glimmer of light within them? If so, we care more about the outside than the inside A surplus of love of self and platform is an indicator of our internal filthliness. The desire for elevation is a quick way to become cold to those that are standing in your way for elevation. A religion mired in the external is a religion that is lacking a love of God. The next set of woes go to the lawyers in the room. Jesus points out that the lawyers create burdens rather than helping people work through those burdens. If you take more joy in showing how people are missing the mark rather than celebrating the wins of your fellow human, your religion is lacking a love of God. Cleaning the outside of the cup and NOT the inside, is to be given the tools to lift people up but not doing so. Cleaning the outside of the cup AND the inside is to see the humanity in those beside you, and walk through their burdens with them.

Taking the Lord at his Word is more important than any proof he could provide us--you won't see a sign if you are blind. It’s not a lack of evidence, but a posture of heart - the evil of the heart - that keeps asking for evidence despite all the evidence that God has already shown. The everyday phenomenon of confirmation bias reveals much about the human heart: When we already have the answer we want in our minds, we go looking for proof that supports what we already believe. The people in today's text want more evidence because they don’t want to listen or believe what Jesus is saying. . Jesus turns our attention to two individuals who stopped needing signs. The Queen of the South. In 1st Kings, the Queen of Sheba came to Solomon to test him with questions when it was rumored that Solomon had great wisdom. When she saw Solomon’s wisdom, she stopped asking for more proof, and instead she worshiped the Lord. The men of Nineveh. Jonah preached against the men of Nineveh, and when Nineveh heard the preaching of Jonah, and when the king heard the truth, they started worshiping God. . Christ is the Wisdom of the Lord. He is greater than Solomon. And Christ is a more powerful prophet and preacher than Jonah. Note that these two examples, the Queen of the South and the men of Nineveh, are both Gentiles, and Jesus uses them figuratively as judges against a group of Jews--God's own people--who are missing God's calling through Jesus. The "sign of Jonah" Jesus mentions speaks of two things- 1) Jonah preached a message of repentance, as Jesus preaches a message of repentance, and 2) Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days, as Jesus would be resurrected after 3 days in the tomb. Today, we have all the evidence we need via the empty tomb--Jesus is alive! A crucified messiah, logically, should be the end of a movement, but Jesus's death (and resurrection) instead emboldened a movement.

When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,” 16 while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.24 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.”27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Jesus teaches that every house divided falls. We often experience this conflict within our own hearts. The text opens with a miraculous display of power. No one is disputing the authenticity of the miracle. A mute demon was thought to be immune to exorcism. So, this exorcism was of unparalleled power. The one with ultimate authority doesn’t need the name of the demon (as it was mute) to cast it out. Immediately the crowd splintered into groups based on their responses: One group had a positive response, marveling at the miracle. Another group was skeptical, and thought to slander the source of the miracle. In that slander, they claimed that Jesus was in league with demons. Yet another group wanted to test Jesus, seeking a sign from Heaven. This third group was treating Jesus like a man on trial, even after he already performed an amazing miracle. Jesus later says that persistent skepticism is from an evil heart, and we know that even a redeemed people sometimes feel the pull to wander and question or test the God we love. Faced with a divided crowd, Jesus answers simply and logically: How dumb would Satan have to be to work against himself? Jesus exposes that evil is many things, but it is not stupid. Satan does not undo his own work. In this moment, the Jewish leaders have revealed to them that their lack of faith was not about skepticism, but rather the hardness of their own hearts and the love of their own power. They were accusing Jesus of being in league with Satan, but in reality, Jesus was waging an assault on Satan’s territory by casting out the demon. Satan is armed and strongly guarding his treasures and territory. The devil is not a feeble enemy. The kingdom of god - the image we’ve seen in Luke - is a kingdom on the offensive, attacking the strongholds of Satan. When Jesus says whoever is not with me is against me, he’s calling you to Him. He’s showing that there’s no safe middle ground when it comes to Him. You must surrender your allegiance to anything else. Remember that being against Him doesn’t mean hating Him. It means withholding your devotion. Refusing to follow Him is being against Him. As a warning, Jesus gives the parable of the empty house. After the spirit is cast out, seven spirits return. The empty space must be filled with Jesus and not left empty to prevent the enemies from returning. Sermon notes - 10/19/25 Luke: 11: 14-28 .

When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,” 16 while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.24 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.”27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Jesus teaches that every house divided falls. We often experience this conflict within our own hearts. The text opens with a miraculous display of power. No one is disputing the authenticity of the miracle. A mute demon was thought to be immune to exorcism. So, this exorcism was of unparalleled power. The one with ultimate authority doesn’t need the name of the demon (as it was mute) to cast it out. Immediately the crowd splintered into groups based on their responses: One group had a positive response, marveling at the miracle. Another group was skeptical, and thought to slander the source of the miracle. In that slander, they claimed that Jesus was in league with demons. Yet another group wanted to test Jesus, seeking a sign from Heaven. This third group was treating Jesus like a man on trial, even after he already performed an amazing miracle. Jesus later says that persistent skepticism is from an evil heart, and we know that even a redeemed people sometimes feel the pull to wander and question or test the God we love. Faced with a divided crowd, Jesus answers simply and logically: How dumb would Satan have to be to work against himself? Jesus exposes that evil is many things, but it is not stupid. Satan does not undo his own work. In this moment, the Jewish leaders have revealed to them that their lack of faith was not about skepticism, but rather the hardness of their own hearts and the love of their own power. They were accusing Jesus of being in league with Satan, but in reality, Jesus was waging an assault on Satan’s territory by casting out the demon. Satan is armed and strongly guarding his treasures and territory. The devil is not a feeble enemy. The kingdom of god - the image we’ve seen in Luke - is a kingdom on the offensive, attacking the strongholds of Satan. When Jesus says whoever is not with me is against me, he’s calling you to Him. He’s showing that there’s no safe middle ground when it comes to Him. You must surrender your allegiance to anything else. Remember that being against Him doesn’t mean hating Him. It means withholding your devotion. Refusing to follow Him is being against Him. As a warning, Jesus gives the parable of the empty house. After the spirit is cast out, seven spirits return. The empty space must be filled with Jesus and not left empty to prevent the enemies from returning. Sermon notes - 10/19/25 Luke: 11: 14-28 .

I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Prayer is more than words. Prayer is more than content. Prayer is heart and soul. Last week we spent time walking through Jesus’ formula of prayer. In that lesson, we demonstrate our desires to see God's kingdom and glory. Our prayers should not just seek to change our conditions, but to change us. Jesus uses a parable to illustrate the fulness of prayer. . Jewish hospitality was taken very seriously, so this parable of a friend showing up at midnight and the homeowner having to deal with an unexpected visitor would have struck a chord with the audience.The homeowner in the story doesn’t have the food to give to his traveling friend, so he goes to his next door neighbor. This homeowner must plead, because the neighbor is unwilling at first. But the heart and attitude of the homeowner is shameless. . Impudence is shameless audacity. It is a willingness to keep knocking. Jesus teaches us that this persistence and audacity is necessary in our prayer life. Do you pray with that kind of persistence or audacity? By continuing to "knock" via our prayers, we show our desperation and need, and ultimately our reliance on God. We must show persistence in our prayers. If we do not want something enough to be persistent in our prayers, then we must not want it enough. The Lord’s Prayer teaches us what to pray, but this parable teaches us how to pray. It is a continuous process. . But we should pray with an understanding of God's love. We know that the Heavenly Father loves us. Even the best parents are imperfect. And God rises to a better standard, which He holds Himself to. So, if even evil parents can give good gifts, how much better can God give? Sermon notes - 10/12/25 Luke: 11: 5-13 .

Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. . Many people are carrying heavy hearts because of the violence going on in our country and the world right now. Christ says that we will be in conflict, so we should not be surprised that the world is in chaos As Christians, we are to look to Jesus and push back the darkness. But many times we bring the wrong tools to the fight! Have you ever done hard work only to find out that there are better tools for that task? That captures the sentiment of American Christianity right now. . When Peter cut off the ear of the high priest, Jesus told him to “put your sword up.” Jesus doesn’t want us to fight using the sword. In order to push back against the darkness, we don’t use tools borne out of the darkness, but rather the light. . From the Bible, we know we are not fighting against just people: our fight is against the devil and the flesh and the systems of the world. And these cosmic powers of darkness are hoping that our gaze is turned from them and locked onto our neighbor. Those enemies are working in concert to keep our weapons turned against our neighbors, rather than the gates of hell. . So if we're not supposed to attack our neighbor, what are we supposed to do? What weapon am I to go into the battle with? . Love.Love is our primary weapon. Love is our tool. We have only one way to push back against a world drowning in hate and despair and death and bitterness and nihilism. It’s not by reflecting that back, but rather it’s about driving that out with light and love. . We are one body made up of many members. Love is the glue that holds the body together. All Christians, without exception, are called to love. And we are told to Love our enemies using the tools that God has given us. God's love has poured into us. We have the power in us to love sacrificially and unconditionally when love gets hard. If Christians are seen as only able to love when we are agreed with, then we aren’t being the example that Christ called us to be. Christ loved us despite all our flaws. We should be motivated to be able to love others despite their flaws. . We should love inside and outside the house of God. Love is genuine only if it exists when it is not publicly expedient. Reject evil and love what is Good, but remember to love your enemies. Reject the evil deeds of others rather than the people. And start with the evil in yourself. We are to hold fast to what is Good. Don’t ever let someone tell you your only option is cruelty. That is a lie. We are to also reject the notion of competitiveness within our family. Instead out-honor each other! Over encourage people in your life - that is literal warfare against the darkness! We are also to bless those who curse us. We are to learn to react to hate with blessing and love and growth in God. And we are to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep - even when we don’t understand the pain/joy they are experiencing. Lastly, do not be haughty, but rather humanizing and dignifying and connecting with the lowly. . There is only one way to make war. Remember what Satan is trying to do - turn our gaze against and demonize our neighbors. To the contrary we are to remember, even when it’s hard, to see the fellow image bearer of God in our fellow human. We make war against the darkness not by returning hate for hate, but rather light and love and kindness for darkness. . The more you rehearse the love you have received within yourself, the more you’re able to love even when it’s hard. Romans 12: 9-21 9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another.

There’s probably a good reason why scribes wind up 70 or 72 additional laborers in this text. This harkens back to Moses, gathering 70 elders for a mission. And Jesus is the greater Moses, so this passage could be pointing this to us. OR, Jesus is point us to the reality of the future and the sharing of the Gospel - as in Genesis there is 70 (or 72) nations listed. That the Gospel is not for just the Jews, but for ALL THE NATIONS. But either of these both point to a single truth - we are ALL called to go on Mission. . But this text is also about how they are to live about people who age sent on a mission. As everyone is called to go on mission, we are to live a life sent. As Spurgeon says, ”All Christians are either missionaries, or impostors.” There is church because there is mission, there is not a mission just because the church exists. . We are supposed to participate in our daily life in an opportunity to spread the gospel. That is who we are. Every day, at work, in school, we should see it as an opportunity to open our mouth. . Are we praying for God to send laborers? We should pray confidently and participatoraly, that God send those laborers out to meet His mission. It is only God who gives increase, so our success or failure is not of consequence. He just wants our obedience and participation. You don’t have to live a frozen life. You can go out with confidence in Him. . As you pray for laborers, you should BE a laborer. Be a part of your own prayer. You become a part of that prayer when you proclaim Jesus with your words, life and deeds. . Lean on God as you go. When you are sent you pray, and you rely on God to provide for you. The forces of darkness will throw anything at you to make you quit, stumble, and fail. To be right with God, is to be in opposition with men. . In this text, Jesus is training the 70/72 for the hard times by telling them to carry no money bags, and to not converse with people on the road. Instead of faltering in our goal, we should lean on God as we continue. . What’s keeping you from going? Are you more focused on the danger in front of you? Or are you focused on the God who sent us? . And when you go, do no harm as you go. You bring your whole self and person as we go. When you bring the message, you should engage the world with our lives. Because that is our authentication! People see our lives, and if our lives are incongruous with our message, then no one will accept the message. . We are to be emotionally good and not harm emotionally, either! We are to receive what is given with gratitude and graciousness. We are to lighten the burden and elevate the joy of those in the house we visit. The Greek word used in this text is service and therapy. We are to serve the week, and bring physical benefit when we go. . For those who reject the news, we have the responsibility to tell them the danger of rejecting the message. There is eternal suffering at stake. Sermon Notes Luke 10: 1-16 .

In this text, Jesus is training the 70/72 for the hard times by telling them to carry no money bags, and to not converse with people on the road. Instead of faltering in our goal, we should lean on God as we continue. . What’s keeping you from going? Are you more focused on the danger in front of you? Or are you focused on the God who sent us? . And when you go, do no harm as you go. You bring your whole self and person as we go. When you bring the message, you should engage the world with our lives. Because that is our authentication! People see our lives, and if our lives are incongruous with our message, then no one will accept the message. . We are to be emotionally good and not harm emotionally, either! We are to receive what is given with gratitude and graciousness. We are to lighten the burden and elevate the joy of those in the house we visit. The Greek word used in this text is service and therapy. We are to serve the week, and bring physical benefit when we go. . For those who reject the news, we have the responsibility to tell them the danger of rejecting the message. There is eternal suffering at stake. Sermon Notes Luke 10: 1-16 .

Answer: When we use our words carelessly and flippantly, they lose their value and power. Words matter deeply in our faith, and go much further than just “cursing.” It’s more complicated - the Bible doesn’t define communication by vocabulary, but rather our intention. . We misuse words when we use them to weaponize our anger. There are 4 and 5 letter words that dehumanize others, or turn our anger to hurt someone else. “Whoever says ‘you fool’ you are liable to the fires of hell.” This text begins with a caution against murder, but there are three parallels that Christ makes - “anger with brother leaves you liable to your brother. Insults leave you liable to the Sanhedrin/council. Words leave you liable to Hell.” The anger involved in all these things shows a weaponized word. We cannot take ‘you fool’ here, as a direct phrase that will send you to hell, because the word is used throughout the Bible. But rather this progression is highlighted here, showing us how a pattern of life, of tearing down fellow brothers and image bearers of Christ, shows a distance from God. What words are you using in your anger? What are your words laced with? Do the intentions behind those words, reflect the grace of Jesus? God could have looked at us as said “worthless,” or "fools" but instead he loves us and gave us His Son. Instead of giving us words of contempt, he gives us ‘THE’ Word. Himself. . We also misuse words when we use them without their proper weight. On the day of judgement we will give an account of every careless word spoken. We don’t profane Gods name flippantly, but rather to ask of Him, or praise Him. His name is holy. The Jewish people even did not speak his Name, but rather called Him “Adonai” - Lord, in an effort to protect it from common speech. . What about "Hell"? We are making light of an incredibly weighty place. Just like the boy who called wolf, the more we use a word flippantly, the lighter the reality of thAT word becomes to us. And when we use heavy words against a fellow image bearers, we are casting condemnation in a way that does not match up with the word's meanings. When we chuckle and make a joke about hell, it reveals that I put too small of a weight on such a heavy matter. . Christ, the holiness of God, paid a heavy price for eternity. The eternity he offers us requires a heavy sacrifice. So my words must reflect the price that was paid for me by a holy God. . We also misuse words when we use them to color our crudeness. There are some words that paint a picture of us and our bodies incorrectly before God. In light of the calling Jesus gives us, we should not objectify the body and nor even allow the pictures to be painted with our words. Using language in a way that can paint unhealthy sexual pictures in our mind must be rejected. Instead “let there be Thanksgiving” instead of crude talk. The use of our negative words is a reflection of our lack of positive words. If we are continually flowing with contempt, what are we filled with? What are we filling our own heart-tank with? Thoughts of God’s mercy and goodness? Or are we filled with anger, dirtiness or filth. . That brings us back to our central text today. How we use language shows what is growing inside of us!

And Does a child who rejects the faith, disqualify a Christian leader? God is gracious; and his grace is enough. We must never stop being amazed at that grace-filled work in the giving of the gift of children, and the grace-filled work of parenting. . Do babies go to heaven when they die? There is no one scripture that you can get a definitive answer to the question. There are some hardline beliefs out there - “all babies who don’t profess Christ, go to hell.” Or “babies are sinless and don’t need Christ.” But a close read of the bible shows something else - Any and all babies lost in this life is found through a special grace found in Jesus. . Christ points to babies as having the type of faith - they have a direct lines of communion with the father. Jesus carries high regard and grace for children. Even in the Old Testament, God places the Holy Spirit into at least some babies. Babies behold Christ and the Father. Additionally, David speaks with certainty in 2 Samuel, that he will see his baby again in heaven. David carries an eternal perspective that he will see his child again. And lastly, in Romans, the work of salvation is connected to the work of the conscious. When we see the full existence of creation - our smallness within the vastness of the Lord. Being unable to seek humility in the face of the vastness and goodness of the lord, seems to give us excuse, despite not knowing Christ. . But what about a child rejecting the faith disqualifying a pastor. An overseer must be above reproach. And “must keep his children submissive.” Titus 1, verse 6 says - his children must be believers. Are these scriptures indicating that children keep a pastor from being a pastor. The text - as a whole - indicates that this passage is more about family management (managing personalities, keeping order, and exuding love). If children fear their father, rather than respect and love him, then a church should expect the same thing if he was a leader. But Titus is very specific - the Greek word used here could mean either “believing” or “faithful.” And every action highlighted in this text is an action that is within the leader’s control. Yet, he cannot do anything about his child’s salvation. But, he can order his house in such a way to give his son every opportunity to come to Christ. That is the order we must be observing. . We cannot do anything about our own salvation - being saved by grace. And would be treading on dangerous territory if a person would try to force that salvation on their child, or else they cannot serve the church - woe to that person. . Parenting is a journey of grace and these texts are about creating the environment to best to support our children. Not necessarily about the outcome of salvation.

And, is asking for something once in prayer enough? . Prayer is something that we should all want to become better at. God not only encourages us to pray often, but to pray boldly. Jesus tells us to be “persistent” and not to lose heart. . The parable Jesus gives us is of a corrupt judge and a persistent widow. All she has is her plea for justice. In this story, the corrupt judge finally grants her request to just get rid of her. Let’s be clear, Jesus is saying that if an unrighteous judge gives this widow an answer, how much more swiftly and fully will God give an answer to His chosen, beloved children. . Pray persistently, and do not quit. God will answer in His perfect will and His perfect timing. . Can we bring little or selfish things to God? We might feel guilty asking God for a parking spot. Or success in a hobby. We often think that God is so big that we should only bring the big things to him. But we should not censor ourselves. Bring your heart to God when you pray! . In the prayer Jesus gives us, we’re to ask God for a cosmic big thing - “Your kingdom come.” But also a small thing - “Our daily bread.” . So always let your prayers be known to God. . But our prayers also allow us to analyze our heart. If our prayers are driven by sinful intent, then it’s not something we should pray for, but something that we should be praying ‘about.’ God’s children have permission to bring everything before the Lord in prayer. Persistent prayer is about faith in action, not dominating God. You won’t jeopardize His will for your life, by asking many times for what you want. . Jesus puts a high value on persistence. Got does not need to be convinced. It’s not for God’s sake. It’s for our sake. By maintaining persistence in prayer demonstrates faith in our God. How many blessings have we left on the table because we didn’t pray in persistence? . Sometimes… despite our prayers, it seems like the answer is “no.” These are moments that may test our faith. But you should take your anger, take your fear, take your despair to God. Your disappointments is a time to run to God, in prayer. That - in itself - is prayer. Even when we wait in silence for the words to come. Sermon Notes: August 3rd Luke - Chapter 18 .

How can I discern between laziness and a healthy desire for rest? . Our American context places us between 2 states of being - grinding continually in hustle, and seeking escape from reality. Both of these two extremes come from our cultural context, and both of these come from the same place - extreme exhaustion. . Jesus’s call to discipleship is to urgent submission. No if’s, or’s, or but’s. So, we give God our YES! But, when we give God our yes, Jesus in response, gives us rest. . Who needs Jesus’ rest? All of us. In a narrow sense, Jesus gives us rest from trying to fulfill the Old Testament law. It IS exhausting. But you don’t have to be from the Jewish community to be called by Jesus when he says “all who are burdened.” The word “All” is important here. . Why do we need the rest? In 2014 - 44% of those in the work force feel burnt out. 51% feel used up. 81% of teens feel pressure about their plans/social standing/etc. This pressure comes from outside forces, true. But also from theirselves. These are staggering numbers, but they should not be shocking to us. We are taught, in our culture, we must push ourselves to reach our full potential. We’ve bought the lie, that we must place the unfair burden of performance on our children and ourselves. And yet… we are surprised when a rising plane crashes, when it only had fumes in the tank. . All of this is leaving us exhausted. We are trying to be everywhere for everybody, and we weren’t created with the capacity, and never intended to have the capacity to be that way. . The answer - in your exhaustion - is not to turn inward and escape reality. So, what do we do? We turn to Jesus, and follow him into rest. . When we try to become someone else’s rest, we will harm both of us. But Jesus can make that claim, and become the rest we need, because he IS God. . So why does God invite us to come to him? He invites us because He’s God, but also because, we are not. God is with us, in us, for us, but we are not Him. We were created with the weaknesses that we have. Weaknesses that the serpent exploited to cause the fall, actually! . When we refuse rest, when we refuse to accept the limitations, we were designed with, an already tired soul becomes a crushed soul. In an attempt to step out of our place, and become like God, we get out of step of simple obedience with God. Thanks be to God that we have the opportunity to have simple obedience! . He really loves us. God really loves us. And God really ‘likes’ us too. He doesn’t do all this out of requirement. God delights in his creation. And we shouldn’t view our God as one of necessity. We should delight in Him as well! But we should view Jesus’ invitation to get rest in Him, as one of delight. So how do we get that rest? “Take my yolk upon you.” - obeying His word, being discipled by Him, and rejecting everything else. And know that in our failures, we have Grace. . So why does it feel hard? Why does the yolk feel hard? It’s because we haven’t traded in the "other ones." In order to train our heart to say Yes to God, we have to train our heart to say no to the other gods. We cannot rest in Christ, when we are yolked to our performance, or the pace of our life, or finding significance, or just being focused on our phones, or prosperity, or validation. We cannot rest under the yolk of Jesus when we are trying to be perfect in everything else. . If the Yolk of Christ feels burdensome it’s because we’re still yolked to other little -g- gods, too.

What do people believe it means to follow Jesus? 60% of people of US consider themselves Christian. 47% say actively connected to a local church. 25% say they go to church regularly. There are many reasons for this, but there’s is a distinct disconnect between claiming to be a Christian and walking a life of discipleship with fellow Christians. . To follow Jesus is to face temporary rejection, and To follow Jesus is to embrace urgent submission. . Jerusalem, in this text, is the direction Jesus goes to the cross and to be sacrificed for our sins. But the phrase, “sets His face” means He is not going to allow anything to get in the way of this appointment - For us, and for the Glory of His Father. . When we are told to “take up our cross” we are expected to “set our face” as well, to the end of our life, and not let things distract us from walking the path. . And the first place Jesus goes is to the Samaria. Jews and Samaritan’s were generally hostile to each other. But this group is the group Jesus goes to first, but because His face is focused on Jerusalem, He was rejected. The Samaritans refuse the blessing of Jesus because He was “of” somewhere else. I wonder how many times we miss the blessings of the Lord be we shut out those that are different than us. To follow Jesus, is to prepare oneself to experience rejection. . But more importantly, when James and John saw this rejection, they asked Jesus if He wanted them to call down fire from heaven to kill them. “Jesus, if they don’t accept you, we should just burn this town down.” James and John are relying on an Old Testament tradition for this harsh rebuke and judgement. But, Jesus rebukes them, instead. Why? Because in Christ, Grace has come in Him. And now everyone should have access to that Grace. Instead, we should allow the Lord to wield the weapons of fiery judgement. But we are to engage with the weapons of love and kindness. Even though you experience rejection, you should respond with your eyes toward the Lord. Those who would reject you today, will one day accept Jesus as lord and savior. Your rejection, therefore, is temporary. . To submit urgently. The next people who wanted to follow him, discovered they wouldn’t follow Jesus without stipulation. They required creature comforts be met first. How do you react, when Jesus calls you to a place you don’t want to go? Many times, we tell Jesus - “I’ll follow you IF you make it easier for me.” But Christ’s face is set to Jerusalem. He doesn’t have time to wait. Many times, the timing of obedience to Christ is inconvenient. Do you delay obedience to Jesus by saying things like “once I do X, then I’ll submit?” Obedience to God requires urgency. Discipleship with God starts and ends with one word, “YES.” The heart of obedience is trust. . Fully embrace the reality that we will experience rejection. But also full embrace that we should not respond the way the world coaches us to, but rather with grace, love and humility. Sermon notes - 6/1/25 Luke: 9: 18-23 .

Even though you experience rejection, you should respond with your eyes toward the Lord. Those who would reject you today, will one day accept Jesus as lord and savior. Your rejection, therefore, is temporary. . To submit urgently. The next people who wanted to follow him, discovered they wouldn’t follow Jesus without stipulation. They required creature comforts be met first. How do you react, when Jesus calls you to a place you don’t want to go? Many times, we tell Jesus - “I’ll follow you IF you make it easier for me.” But Christ’s face is set to Jerusalem. He doesn’t have time to wait. Many times, the timing of obedience to Christ is inconvenient. Do you delay obedience to Jesus by saying things like “once I do X, then I’ll submit?” Obedience to God requires urgency. Discipleship with God starts and ends with one word, “YES.” The heart of obedience is trust. . Fully embrace the reality that we will experience rejection. But also full embrace that we should not respond the way the world coaches us to, but rather with grace, love and humility. Sermon notes - 6/1/25 Luke: 9: 18-23 .

What do people believe it means to follow Jesus? 60% of people of US consider themselves Christian. 47% say actively connected to a local church. 25% say they go to church regularly. There are many reasons for this, but there’s is a distinct disconnect between claiming to be a Christian and walking a life of discipleship with fellow Christians. . To follow Jesus is to face temporary rejection, and To follow Jesus is to embrace urgent submission. . Jerusalem, in this text, is the direction Jesus goes to the cross and to be sacrificed for our sins. But the phrase, “sets His face” means He is not going to allow anything to get in the way of this appointment - For us, and for the Glory of His Father. . When we are told to “take up our cross” we are expected to “set our face” as well, to the end of our life, and not let things distract us from walking the path. . And the first place Jesus goes is to the Samaria. Jews and Samaritan’s were generally hostile to each other. But this group is the group Jesus goes to first, but because His face is focused on Jerusalem, He was rejected. The Samaritans refuse the blessing of Jesus because He was “of” somewhere else. I wonder how many times we miss the blessings of the Lord be we shut out those that are different than us. To follow Jesus, is to prepare oneself to experience rejection. . But more importantly, when James and John saw this rejection, they asked Jesus if He wanted them to call down fire from heaven to kill them. “Jesus, if they don’t accept you, we should just burn this town down.” James and John are relying on an Old Testament tradition for this harsh rebuke and judgement. But, Jesus rebukes them, instead. Why? Because in Christ, Grace has come in Him. And now everyone should have access to that Grace.

Because of this, parables have an ability to sneak up into our own heart and make us ask “was that about me?” God reveals the reality of the kingdom of God in His parables. Jesus was a walking parable Himself. . The text today is a parable. And its context is pretty important. Jesus is sitting with tax collectors and sinners at a table. Jesus was communicating that these sinners and tax collectors were His equal. So, the Pharisees didn’t like that. So, Jesus tells a series of parables to show wrong the Pharisees are. . Jesus explains through these parables that repentance is paramount to the life of a Christian. In the story of the prodigal son, we have three points of view. The older brother, the younger brother (the prodigal) and the Father. The older brother’s refusal to join the celebration is a major sign of disrespect to the father and to the community. But the father loves his son - both of them! Jesus shares the gifts of His kingdom with all of His family. Even the bitter brother. . The younger brother has a ton of audacity. Asking for the contents of the father’s will before he died is the same as saying - “you’re no good to me, and I wish you dead.” And the vices that the younger brother could have gotten into - that’s probably what he got up to! And when the famine comes, he winds up living terrible - hitting the rock bottom. And once he gets there, he comes to his senses and goes home. But he feels so unworthy, he doesn’t even want to be treated as a son. But rather be treated as a hired servant. But upon reaching out to the father, he is raised up to his original station. That’s what the father does for us! . The father saw the younger brother - saw him with compassion. It would have been undignified for a man to run, yet he does. It would have been undignified to interrupt, yet he does with compassion. The ring and the sandals given to him are symbols of authority. And that is what the father does for YOU. Apart from Christ, you are naked. But in Christ, you’ve clothed yourself with Christ. . The heart of the father, is prodigal. The father is reckless. But the father says that it’s worth it for my sons to repent. . Won’t you find yourself life and inheritance in the Father? Come home, to Him.

Asking a man to share his favorite thing in a category, is a way to get a man to open up and reveal deep feelings inside of him. Guys love “who’s the greatest” debates. Apparently, Jesus’ disciples do too. . We don’t know exactly what they were using to compare themselves to, but we do know they have NO BUSINESS doing so. Just a few verses ago, Jesus was miraculously transfigured - beautiful and shining like the sun - so you’d think they’d be humbled a little bit. Yet here they are, comparing their own greatness against each other. . The pressure to be great is all around us, especially today. But why? Why do we chase making our own name great? We believe that is where significance, security and our comfort/rest is. But the truth is that all of those things are found in Christ. But we must have the faith to see them there. . The same faith that is required to cast out demons, is the faith required to know that our worth and greatness comes from Christ. It requires a new lens to see the path of greatness he calls you to. When my faith is my opinion of myself, my faith cannot be in Christ. . Back in this time, children were to be disregarded. You could ignore children because they were not valued in the society. And yet, Jesus grabs a child, and tells His disciples “your love and engagement with this child, is your love and engagement with me.” When the culture points at someone and says “they are not important to greatness” that is a Christian’s signal to say “I must spend my time talent and treasure with them because they are not important to greatness in this world.” And that is where our greatness comes from. Our greatness does not come from positions of power; our greatness comes from spending our energy with the least. Because the least are loved and cared for by God. Don’t let the call to be known and be great make you miss out on the ability to be great within the kingdom. . Searching for greatness in the world creates competition and struggle. The ones who are not against us, should be considered for us. Sometimes the folks that we are willing to criticize are walking in more faith than we are. The yearning for greatness creates the desire for competition, but God is looking for those who are willing to serve for Him. When we stop seeking our own greatness, it makes us more willing to just see what others are doing and just say “God be glorified!” . A couple questions to wrestle with: . “Do I tend to overlook, disregard, or dismiss people who don’t seem like they can help me meet my worldly goals?” In the answer of that question determines what we think about ‘greatness.’ “When others around you receive promotions or things that you feel like you deserve, what happens to your soul? Is it delight, or is it grief?” . Ask God to search your heart and be renewed in our understanding of Greatness. Sermon Notes 7/13/25 Luke 9: 46-50 .

And in this passage, it’s easy to see why this man has turned to Jesus - to help his son. We’re going to look at 5 things: . Dad Danger of the Demonic Disappointment of Doubt Demand for the Divine Declaration of deliverance. . The dad - Jesus is now back to his normal routine after the amazing transfiguration. This man describes his son to Jesus in dire terms. This demon is torturing his son, “shattering him.” In 3 different gospels, we have descriptions of this torment. But they all describe an affliction that is trying to kill him. Do you think this father’s desperation is justified? The same God who meets the son in his desperation, meets you as well. So bring your desperate and weary heart to Him! . The danger - Demons are real. Luke is a doctor - a physician. Yet, he is willing to look beyond the physical. Now, we should not make the mistake of viewing every illness as demonic, but do not make the mistake of not believing in spiritual warfare at all! In this story, there is a real demonic force tormenting this child. The aim of demons is to torment - to create as much chaos as they can. The targets of the demonic are our peace with God, and our faith in God. . Disappointment of doubt - Jesus answers this man. Upon hearing his begging, we hear Jesus’ incredulous response. We spent all last week, highlighting Jesus’ transfiguration - shining light, the dead alive, thundering voice of God. They saw that the day before, yet this day, their faithlessness is highlighted. But, it’s easy to look at our own lives as see just how much we have to ask God “God… do you have me?” It’s a regular pattern in our lives to see God show up, and then immediately wonder if He’s ever going to show up again. But Jesus uses the word “twisted.” We are flooded with disorder and chaos in dealing with the world. But here we see the disciples struggling with the same thing. The devil is busy trying to chill your faith and living for God. The heart must hear that God loves us to the end in order for us to have our peace in God. So make no mistake, God loves YOU! . Demand for the Divine - Spiritual forces are real. And they do jab and poke in a way that disrupts your faith. But God is so merciful, He will meet you where you are. Jesus will answer us with love and grace in the midst of our faithlessness. Prayer and communion with God reminds us. Prayer deepens our faith, and reminds us of God’s love. . Declaration of Deliverance - Jesus tells his disciples that He was going to be killed. This story begins with a father begging Jesus to save His son. But this story ends with a declaration of a Father giving away His only Son. But, Jesus will go toward the darkness, despite the weakness of our faith - in love and in grace - and will bring love and eternal deliverance to us. . The forces of darkness cannot have their final say because we serve a Son, the only Son, who went to the cross to one and for all vanquish those forces. So let that be what is rehearsed in your heart, again and again, when the forces of darkness try to drive you to despair. Sermon notes 7/6/25 Luke 9:37-45 .

Jesus’s greatness is often something that is way beyond our initial understanding. In this moment in scripture, Jesus took his inner circle up to a mountain to pray. (Prayer is such a huge part of the son of God’s, life, how much more should ours be?) In this moment, the disciples don't just hear that Jesus is the Christ, but now the disciples see it too! Jesus IS greater! We see Jesus in this glorious light, and He is speaking with great men of God as well. This transfiguration points to the past, but also to the present greatness. Elisha and Moses appear - not as equals, but as subordinates. Jesus is greater than the prophets! The prophets represent “those that spoke on behalf of God.” But Jesus is God! . In both moments in the past - Moses and Elisha had a divine encounter. Both had to be covered and hidden to protect them. But here, we encounter Jesus without a covering. So, when we want to understand God’s direction, we should fix our attention on Jesus. . Jesus’s departure written here, is written using the word for “Exodus.” Moses's exodus brought physical deliverance from Pharo. But Jesus’s exodus will bring spiritual deliverance. The deliverance of Jesus on the cross, to die for our sins is the most important deliverance we could ever receive. . Jesus is the greater deliverer, but he is also the greater tabernacle. . Peter requests that he should make 3 tents for Jesus, Moses, and Elisha. Two men from the dead are alive - this is a holy moment. And holy moments need a tent (the word used is “Tabernacle”). But Peter doesn’t seem to recognize what he’s saying. When a cloud shows up to cover them. Again, the word used is used several times in the Bible - overshadowing represents the filling of the Holy Spirit or the Glory of the Lord. So, now… there’s no tabernacles because they don’t need one. God, Jesus, is the tabernacle. They don’t need another tent, because Jesus IS the place you go to meet with the father! Christ is the greater deliverer, the greater everything! . And the voice of God comes out of the cloud, declaring Jesus’s authority. “This IS my son. Listen to Him.” . So when Jesus is revealed to be the messiah, we know when he says “if anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me,” that He's telling the truth. . So, when Jesus shows up in our life, we must submit. Because Jesus is greater than all other relationships in my life. When he shows up, he comes with proof of His greatness. The revelation which is present means that we should obey. . Jesus is greater. Yes. But is Jesus greater in your life? In your coming and your goings? In your time, talent, and treasure? In our obedience? . It’s not enough to acknowledge Him as the greatest. We must listen to Him, and follow Him. Sermon Notes June 29th, 2025 Luke 9: 28-36 .

It’s not a negotiation, but a summons - a calling to live under his Lordship. It requires 3 things Death of autonomy Embracing the cross daily Eternal gain . Discipleship is a complete surrender to self rule. It sounds wrong to our own modern ears. The Greek phrase means to “utterly reject” - the same word used when Peter denied Christ. It’s not just a turning from, but a turning TO. You cannot say “Jesus take the wheel” and you continue to steer. Autonomy needs to die at the foot of the cross. Christ must be on the throne of your life. Or are you stuck in self rule? . The cross was Rome’s most painful death. To carry your cross meant one thing in Jesus’s day - it meant you were on your way to die horrifically. But, your cross is not the cross of Christ. Only Christ could fulfill the cross God gave to Him. Your cross is not that one. Your cross does not give you the power to redeem yourself before God. But, yet, our cross must be carried still. We are to deny ourselves. So what does it mean, to take up your cross daily? It could mean to die, sure… but suffering could look like many things. Mental, physical, and denial of our wants or desires. To take up your cross means commitment and identification. To be a physical and verbal follower of Jesus Christ. There should be NO QUESTION that you are a follower. Whoever does the will of God abides forever with Him. The reality for many of us is that we don’t mind carrying the cross, as long as we can decorate it. Many of us have yet to take seriously the threat and seriousness of what carrying our cross means. . Jesus doesn’t just ask us to blindly following him. He gives us several reasons: whoever would save his life, would lose it. But whoever would lose his life would save it. Jesus is saying plainly, if you continue to stay in control, you will forfeit the very thing you are attempting to achieve. This life is going to end. You cannot keep it. You cannot extend it. Why fight to hold onto something you cannot keep? That’s not a problem we can solve. Instead, by following Jesus, we gain our reward in the next life. What would all that wealth and control be worth. . Eternal identity: This isn’t about you choosing Jesus, but rather about Jesus choosing you before the father. Did you identify with Jesus with bold allegiance, or did you identify with what you wanted. Jesus demands a lot, but Jesus gives infinitely more. He calls you not to a painless life, but a purposeful one. Sermon Notes: 6/22/25 Luke 9:23-27 .

Many of us have yet to take seriously the threat and seriousness of what carrying our cross means. . Jesus doesn’t just ask us to blindly following him. He gives us several reasons: whoever would save his life, would lose it. But whoever would lose his life would save it. Jesus is saying plainly, if you continue to stay in control, you will forfeit the very thing you are attempting to achieve. This life is going to end. You cannot keep it. You cannot extend it. Why fight to hold onto something you cannot keep? That’s not a problem we can solve. Instead, by following Jesus, we gain our reward in the next life. What would all that wealth and control be worth. . Eternal identity: This isn’t about you choosing Jesus, but rather about Jesus choosing you before the father. Did you identify with Jesus with bold allegiance, or did you identify with what you wanted. Jesus demands a lot, but Jesus gives infinitely more. He calls you not to a painless life, but a purposeful one. Sermon Notes: 6/22/25 Luke 9:23-27 .

It’s not a negotiation, but a summons - a calling to live under his Lordship. It requires 3 things Death of autonomy Embracing the cross daily Eternal gain . Discipleship is a complete surrender to self rule. It sounds wrong to our own modern ears. The Greek phrase means to “utterly reject” - the same word used when Peter denied Christ. It’s not just a turning from, but a turning TO. You cannot say “Jesus take the wheel” and you continue to steer. Autonomy needs to die at the foot of the cross. Christ must be on the throne of your life. Or are you stuck in self rule? . The cross was Rome’s most painful death. To carry your cross meant one thing in Jesus’s day - it meant you were on your way to die horrifically. But, your cross is not the cross of Christ. Only Christ could fulfill the cross God gave to Him. Your cross is not that one. Your cross does not give you the power to redeem yourself before God. But, yet, our cross must be carried still. We are to deny ourselves. So what does it mean, to take up your cross daily? It could mean to die, sure… but suffering could look like many things. Mental, physical, and denial of our wants or desires. To take up your cross means commitment and identification. To be a physical and verbal follower of Jesus Christ.

True faith is active and gives life to those around it. A Christian’s faith is intended to be fruitful and it produces something in and produces something around us. And verses 21-27 highlight that. . Men are important. But that importance is magnified when we show up. . Men have 4 times the suicide rate of women. They have been deceived by the flesh, world and the devil, that their lives are worthless and that they are better gone, than to show up in this world. 1 out of 2 men that you know are more depressed than they feel they are able to express to anyone. . With this absence of fathers and the need of fatherly influence, it creates opportunities for men to step up - serving our community, serving our lord, or families, and serving each other. An active godly man “is” before he “does.” God has written his covenant on the Hearts of man. This is the Holy Spirit given to us on Pentecost. We are a people in covenant with the living God. The “action” is not an attempt to achieve what we have already been given. Our actions should come “from” this gift. . Every believer has the ability to hear and act out our faith. We daily make a decision to obey and walk in the Word in meekness. We are to obey, even when we are convinced to go our own way. Even when obeying God is hard. . And we should obey God, not to earn approval. We do it because we’ve been approved. . Additionally, Active Godly men, “do” by reframing. The wickedness and filthiness are gone, but the filthiness of the world can get on us sometimes. We daily have to take that off, because that’s not who we are anymore. Living in the world is a lot like that. The dust of the world just gets on us just by being out there in the world. Every day is a chance to recognize that the dust of the world is out there and we need to come back to the Word of God in our hearts. To obey and take off that dusty garment. . Be doers of the word, not hearers only. We can hide the truth about ourselves, from ourselves. Without spiritfilled action on the part of ourselves, we do not have faith. If we have faith, we will act in alignment with that faith. With no action to align with our declarations of Godliness, then we probably aren’t Godly. So, walk in “who” the Lord has called you to be. . Actively Godly men’s “doing” is relational - with God, and with others. When our faith is active, it changes those around us. If you remember the one who you follow, you will exhibit self control. To be a doer is to look upon the least of people and to sacrifice time, talent and treasure to others. And to keep oneself unstained from the world. Sermon Notes James 1: 21-27 . Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg .

He will bring peace amid all kinds of confusion, suffering and trials. The Christian can find comfort in the calling of God. The Christian can find comfort in Christs resurrection. the Christian can find comfort in the beauty of the sanctification of the Holy Spirit. the Christian can find comfort because all believers are beneficiaries of His Grace The calling of God: Peter is addressing this letter to the “elect” exiles of the persecution throughout modern day Turkey. These are not Israelites. They are gentiles suffering for their faith. Being called “elect” we receive the inheritance through the sacrifice of Christ. Our citizenship is not in this world, it is in heaven. It is not easy, but joy comes in the morning! We are called to live holy lives in an unholy world to show the glory of Christ to the world. We are to live, in a way, as exiles, so when we experience the chaos of this world, and hardship, we are prepared to face it with faith and trust in Him. . Christs resurrection: Christ’s death burial and resurrection is a source of comfort. No one can rob our inheritance - because God is guarding it. Our future salvation and inheritance is kept by God. So we can be sure that Christ’s resurrection is a source of comfort for us during hard times. He is sovereign over all things! . Sanctification: The beauty of our sanctification is done by the Holy Spirit! So, we can take comfort in the Holy testing and trials we experience in this world. We can be certain that the trails are here not to break us, but to refine and purify us. This call to rejoice is because the Holy Spirit is working something within us to sharpen us for the Kingdom to come! When we trust God with our lives despite the pain, God is shaping us into the image of Christ, Jesus. The better we understand that, the easier for us to trust God to remove hardship from us. . Beneficiaries of Grace: the prophets made proclamations back in the day to show the grace that will be given to New Testament Christians. The Old Testament prophets prophesied that Christ would allow Himself to be crushed to pay for our sins. We can take heart - God calls us to be peculiar nation among everyone else. .

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Sometimes we misjudge the very people who are standing in front of us. And sometimes who we misjudge will cost us everything. Jesus has 2 questions for His disciples in this section: 1) who do the crowds say that I am? And 2) who do you say who I am? For question 1: they say “some say you are John the Baptist, Elisha, or one of the prophets of old.” This list is not a bad list. These are holy and good men. An honorable list. But these people cannot live up to the truth of who Jesus is. And you cannot learn who Jesus is, by chasing His miracles and blessings. It requires committing to walking and apprenticeship to and with him. This question cannot be figured out by collecting data about Him. For question 2: Peter says “The Christ of God.” Christ means “the anointed one.” It is intended to indicate a coming king - the one with enough power to bring every other kingdom to its knees. And Christ Jesus responds telling them to "tell no one," because He is supposed to suffer, be rejected by leaders, and killed, and then raised up on the third day. Everyone would be bound to misinterpret what Jesus is supposed to be. He tells them that He must be rejected and killed… and He must be resurrected from the grave. Jesus would rise to overthrow the powers of darkness. But the people expected that He would rule a simple government. Jesus was here for something so much greater. The people were expecting a messiah to bow to us, to co-opt our agendas. And Jesus closes with telling His disciples - “anyone who wants to follow me, must give up everything, daily, and follow me.” Once we learned who the messiah is, we learn what it means to follow Him. We must suffer, love, welcome, endure, and in the end, we will overcome. Alignment with Jesus, is not to follow Him to success. But it means to follow Him through suffering, denying our passions, carrying a willingness to suffer - even to the point of our deaths. As you walk, the way you walk shows what you know about who Jesus really is. When we ignore the heart of Jesus, we miss the calling of Jesus. When we read the Bible and we find a part that we don’t like, we easily ignore it, rather than embracing who He is. We must embrace the messiah on His terms, rather than embracing Him on our terms. But take heart, when you trip and stumble, He will have mercy on you, and help you pick your cross back up again. Sermon notes - 6/1/25 Luke: 9: 18-23 .

And sometimes who we misjudge will cost us everything. Jesus has 2 questions for His disciples in this section: 1) who do the crowds say that I am? And 2) who do you say who I am? For question 1: they say “some say you are John the Baptist, Elisha, or one of the prophets of old.” This list is not a bad list. These are holy and good men. An honorable list. But these people cannot live up to the truth of who Jesus is. And you cannot learn who Jesus is, by chasing His miracles and blessings. It requires committing to walking and apprenticeship to and with him. This question cannot be figured out by collecting data about Him.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . In this text, Jesus calls the disciples to something big. Going out on their own, and doing as Jesus does - preaching and healing and casting out demons. From this text, we can see three things: Big calling Big distractions Big participation. Big Calling: This is no small errand. Jesus gives them the divine ability and the divine right to do these things. This is a huge transition from their daily life - walking with Jesus. God equips us before he employs us. In the mission details, he tells them to go on this road trip and bring nothing with them. No food, no money, no clothes - to rely only solely on God. For all who are called to Christ and called to live simply and contentedly. Shaking the dust off their feet were symbolically cast off the stress and anxiety of their inability to change the minds of some. We are all called to be disciple makers, but the harvest, whatever it is, belongs to God. Big Distractions: Reports of the activities of the 12 were big news, and Herod hears about it. He was perplexed - to be in doubt, unsure about what to say, think, or do. A man he had killed was reported to be brought to life! Of course he was confused. And he wanted to seek them out. The fear of opposition can be a big distraction. Herod’s attention was huge for the disciples, but do not let these pressures distract you from your mission. The thief comes only to kill, steal, and destroy. But no matter who comes after you in your calling, we serve a bigger and infinite King. Big Participation: the disciples come back from their mission and tell Jesus eagerly all they did. Although they are excited, Jesus notices they are tired and in need of rest. The Lord of the Sabbath cares about your rest. He gives us seasons to rest, but we have to take them. But that doesn’t mean that your rest won't be interrupted for lost and the hungry. Just as we see here as thousands of people press in to see Jesus, He tells the disciples to give the 5000 people something to eat. But they didn’t have any money. But in this instance they bring Jesus all they have - 5 loaves and 2 fish. And Jesus uses what is impossibly small, for meet the needs of the impossibly large. We often wind up in the place where we have no more strength to go on, and it’s only Jesus who carries us and gives us strength. God is not looking for your ability, just your availability. Jesus is always able to meet the need of any emergency. And we should, like the disciples, follow Jesus’ odd instructions, to the letter. We are to live as a people who have been sent out. Trust that the lord will multiply our paltry offerings. Sermon 5/25/25 Notes: Luke 9: 1-9 .

But Jesus’ response to desperation and desperate people is interesting. Here we see Jesus moved to act on behalf of two people. Jesus just left a land of people kicking him out, and was met by a crowd of people waiting for him to return. The people pressed around Him. There were so many people around Him, he was crowded. The first character in this account is Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue. He was a man of immanence and status and financial stability. And this man, immaculate as he is, falls at Jesus’ feet, asking Him to save his daughter. This is desperation. We often say we are tired of this or that, but are we tired enough to lay on our faces at Jesus’ feet? Are we tired enough to turn from the routine, and turn from our social status to Him? The Lord will meet all who cry out to the Lord in their distress. Jesus has a heart for those who are desperate for Him. In the midst of all this, there’s another who’s desperate. In the middle of all this, we see a woman who would have been ostracized socially, not wealthy, sick etc. She was the exact opposite in standing of Jairus. And her condition has driven her to see Jesus in this moment, just like Jairus. She willingly to press through a bunch of people to get to Jesus - she’s risking a lot. In her desperation, all that risk is worth just getting to Jesus. She came up behind Him and touched his garment and was immediately healed. Her concern wasn’t to be known, She wanted to touch Him, get her problems fixed, and get out of the crowd. But, Jesus doesn’t just seek healing, He’s interested in healing your void of fellowship with God - with Him. Jesus made time with this woman, called out to her, and spoke to her, DESPITE her uncleanliness. And we come back to Jairus, who just watched this woman healed, who had to feel so excited that he picked the right one! But, then he is just informed that his daughter just died. But God’s delays are not denials. He tells Jairus, “just believe and it shall be okay!” Waiting is obedience. Wait and believe when you are met with a period of delay. And when God moves, He moves. And Jairus’ daughter was only sleeping, and Jesus woke her. God has a power that is not like our power. He can come upon any situation, and breathe life into it. Sermon 5/11/25 Notes: Luke 8: 40-56 .

The Lord will meet all who cry out to the Lord in their distress. Jesus has a heart for those who are desperate for Him. In the midst of all this, there’s another who’s desperate. In the middle of all this, we see a woman who would have been ostracized socially, not wealthy, sick etc. She was the exact opposite in standing of Jairus. And her condition has driven her to see Jesus in this moment, just like Jairus. She willingly to press through a bunch of people to get to Jesus - she’s risking a lot. In her desperation, all that risk is worth just getting to Jesus. She came up behind Him and touched his garment and was immediately healed. Her concern wasn’t to be known, She wanted to touch Him, get her problems fixed, and get out of the crowd. But, Jesus doesn’t just seek healing, He’s interested in healing your void of fellowship with God - with Him. Jesus made time with this woman, called out to her, and spoke to her, DESPITE her uncleanliness. And we come back to Jairus, who just watched this woman healed, who had to feel so excited that he picked the right one! But, then he is just informed that his daughter just died. But God’s delays are not denials. He tells Jairus, “just believe and it shall be okay!” Waiting is obedience. Wait and believe when you are met with a period of delay. And when God moves, He moves. And Jairus’ daughter was only sleeping, and Jesus woke her. God has a power that is not like our power. He can come upon any situation, and breathe life into it. Sermon 5/11/25 Notes: Luke 8: 40-56 .

And a story of 2 women and 1 God. In this text, we can see some very imperfect people, and you can be encouraged in our own imperfection. Sarai is dealing with a lot of pain. Not only barrenness, but coupled with a promise of children from God. From the very throne of God there is a promise that seems unfulfilled. Infertility would have potentially resulted in failure of the marriage in that culture. Shame, and misery and pain. That could be one possible reason for Sarai’s decision to take over for God Will. So this isn’t that shocking, that she would make something so wild seeming to us. How often have you told God, “I know you told me not to, but do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this? When I choose my own path, I want you to bless it.” “Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.” He listened to the voice of his wife, instead of listening to the voice of God. So we know this is a bad choice. This moment is part of the fallen condition. Sarai is carving her own way and Abram is going along with it. A very similar phrasing and situation to the Garden. The lord shows up on Sarai’s behalf in Egypt. God was faithful. Yet, Sarai is still willing to give into the pain she’s experiencing, and she gives Hagar to Abram. And this creates chaos - as going outside of God’s will. When Hagar flees, she is no longer just a servant. When she meets the angel, she has a name. Even when we don’t know who each other are, God knows our name. Hagar might have been an Egyptian servant to them, but “Hagar” to God. But this angel tells Hagar to return to Sarai, and to reconciliation. The Lord is calling you to hard things. You have been called to hard things, because Jesus did hard things for you. Hagar is told that her child will be called “God Hears.” God hears our interest and prayers. So she actually gives God a name - The God of Seeing (the God who I see, and the God who sees me). This is an act of rejoicing from Hagar. Jesus sees you where you are. When you call on His name, you will not be ignored. In Christ, we have a God who we see, and who sees us.

This and the previous chapter are very much connected in how the power of Jesus Word builds families, and brings peace out of chaos, and now we get to see the power of His word delivering captives, and freedom. Underneath the demon infested man, was a son, a potential father… and for certain, an image bearer of God. It’s often that we don’t see the man, but rather we see the problem someone faces instead the person underneath. This man is naked and unclothed, uncontrollable, living in tombs and screaming and cutting himself. No matter how much he breaks physical chains placed on him, he is unable to break Satan’s chains upon him. He also socially ostracized - living among the dead and near pigs means he would be “ritually unclean” and thus ostracized from any and all community from people who could help him. But there IS hope for this man. When he saw Jesus, everything about him changes in an instant. The demons recognize Jesus and the power dynamic changes. The demons immediately send the man to the ground on his face, acknowledge his authority in desperation. They know Jesus has the power to torment them. The forces that torment you and your family… they know Jesus’s name and His title and His power. Make no mistake - Jesus already knows the demons name. He gets the demons to acknowledge “you can have demons with the force of Rome’s armies, but all Jesus’ needs is a word to destroy them.” Jesus’ power is insurmountable. The demons don’t even try to fight Him. This is the power of the One who walks with you, fights for you, who stands with you, who sets you free, if only you ask Him. When people saw the man, they were afraid, and seized with great fear. Fear can lead to reverence, but fear can also read to rejection. And we see that within the people of this city. When the pigs run off the cliff - that is a huge commercial disruption. Sometimes when Christ comes to your life, your life turns upside down, sometimes we hate that disruption more than the freedom that comes with Jesus. But the demon possessed man has his dignity restored and his mind is sound. He wants to draw closer to the one who saved Him. Sermon 5/4/25 Notes: Luke 8: 26-39 .

When nature hears this word, it listens. Our sanctification, salvation, and our joy in life, depends on how we hear the word of God. The word of God carries power to build a new family. The word of God carries power to build peace from chaos. Even when His earthly family comes to greet Him, he points out that those hearing His words and following them, are made into new family members. And simultaneously, Jesus’ response is not a devaluing of His earthly family, but an elevation of His heavenly family. This is an incredible invitation! The power to make everyone, all the way from enemies, into family. When we receive Jesus by faith, we receive adoption into an eternal family - adopted as sons and daughters with a brotherhood in Jesus Christ. Hearing, and doing what He tells us to. The power of God’s word also brings peace to chaos. While crossing the water, they forgot who was in the boat with them. They forgot exactly who can stop the storm that they are in.

In this verse, Thomas misses something - he was not with the other disciples when Jesus came back. Thomas missed the appearance of Christ to the other disciples. So when they tell Thomas that, all he knew was the horrific death of Jesus. He saw it all. So when the disciples show back up, proclaiming Jesus to be alive, Thomas is incredulous. He was disappointed. Thomas thought the movement was over, now that its leader was killed. Thomas is not alone. We are all with him. Thomas is wrestling with profound and deep disappointment. Thomas left everything when he saw Jesus preaching on a boat, silencing the winds and waves, and healings. He had no doubt that Jesus was the One… But Jesus died. He was disappointed because of the saw the Lord die, and Thomas’ future died with Him. And we suffer that grief all the time when we lose anything in this life. So, it’s not surprising that Thomas doubts in this moment. His hope has died. But in this moment, Thomas is restored. The doubter has doubts, but doubts have no chance against a resurrected savior. In His grace, Jesus shows up again and gives Thomas the chance to prove for himself that Christ had resurrected. Jesus meets Thomas where he is - in his doubt and despair - and shows him the truth. Jesus knows the source of your doubt, and comes to meet you right there. And Thomas calls Jesus “my Lord, and my God.” All the doubts that Thomas has are destroyed, as he proclaims Jesus as God. Lord means master. My God means Thomas is calling Jesus the Creator. Thomas trusts in the destiny that Jesus has laid out for him. If The Resurrection is real, then Christ is God. And if Christ is God, He has promised you salvation if you trust in Him. Sermon Notes: 4/20/25 Pastor: Brian Crawford John 20:24-30 .

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Jesus is asking each of us, can you hear me? Because not all hearts can hear clearly. Christ calls us to examine how we receive God’s word. This passage shows us three different things we're going to examine: Seed and Soil of the Heart. The ear that hears. The heart that obeys. In this parable, we have seed falling along different types of soil. Jesus reveals to the disciples that the seed is the word of God. The word of God can land on different types of hearts. The “path” is the hardened heart. A persons heart can be hardened by pride or indifference, and in that situation, the devil takes seed so it cannot sprout. The rocky ground is those who make a quick confession of faith, but when hardship comes, they fall away. The relationship with Christ isn’t there. Thorny ground is a distracted heart. The seed sprouts, but they mix self-interest and God. They are distracted by what the flesh demands. The Good Soil is a heart who not just hears the word, but retains the word. Not just an emotional response, BUT genuine commitment to the Lord. But ALL of us have a heart problem. None of us is righteous. All of us have all 4 soils within us. Left to ourselves, we would all distort God’s word. Is your passion for God being suffocated by business? Or Hardness? Regardless, Jesus extends an offer for you to lay your burdens upon Him. We can cling to Jesus and he will clear those thorns, and soften that soil. We may not be demon possessed like some, but we face the same enemy and need the same act of salvation from Christ. What happens after He saves you? We follow. Worship, to devotion, to practical service. When we respond to Jesus’s message, it is shined outwardly. And points those who see it back to Him.

The importance of the person coming to your home, often dictates the way the home is prepared. In these verses we have a Pharisee - a man who is an expert rule follower. The woman - who is such a sinner she has no name, no title, and her sin would be so great, that she’s aware of her own sin. And Christ, simply put, is God. And in this text, we see three things: The Christ who drawn near The Christ who cancels debt The Christ who we embrace by faith. The Pharisee is uncomfortable with the woman in his home, due to her sin. But Christ gives time to both of them. As the Pharisee invites Christ to his home, Christ invites the Pharisee to fellowship, because he is the Christ who draws near. He is the God who draws near to the self-righteous, but also the abject sinner. Christ calls them and all between. There is no lengths that he cannot cross to get to you, despite how far gone you feel like you are. The Pharisee was so focused on who Christ was with - the sinner - he missed exactly who Christ was. But her sight was fixed on Christ, attempting to get as humbly close to Him as possible. But even in our self-righteousness, Christ engages with us, as he does with Simon, with the story. Christ gives Simon, the Pharisee, an example he cannot ignore. The one who is forgiven more is the one who loves the most. The one who doesn’t understand their debt, cannot understand the depth of their need of forgiveness. When we don’t understand and our own need, our service to Jesus will waver. And here we see the woman, rushing to Jesus’ feet, wiping his feet with her tears and unbound hair (a symbol of humility). Faith was the act of washing Jesus’ feet. A woman was moved to act in favor of Jesus, despite the fact that she would not be welcome in the place where He was at. Faith says “I just gotta get to Jesus, despite everything around me.” Faith is also whatever that moves us to bring our best gift. When we truly understand our need, and how Jesus meets our needs, we give everything we have. Faith is also the weeping at the grace and the gratitude we have to just be in the presence of Jesus. And if we don’t understand our need, we won’t cry at our need. Faith fills us with gratitude, that we’ve been found by God. But faith also fills us with humility - the humility to unbind our hair, and wash the feet of Jesus with it. Simply put, the strength of our faith is reflected in the depth of our understanding of our need. Sermon Notes: 4/6/25 Pastor: Brian Crawford Luke 7:36-50 .

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . In this text, we see a man struggling with his expectations. There are some times that Jesus’s action or inaction does not feel like what He’s promised. But make no mistake, Jesus is the One. He is control. And in this text, John’s expectation of Jesus was challenged when he was left in jail for probably months. Looking back, just a few verses ago, we see read that Jesus raised the dead. Sometimes when we see these stories we often ask if Jesus has the ability to raise the dead, why hasn’t He raised the dead in my life? So when John asks Jesus, “are you the one?” It is not unfounded. Now, John was not shaky in his belief. He was such a staunch supporter of Jesus but even he, when faced with jail time, even he finds himself questioning. So many people are experiencing freedom with Jesus, while John is sitting in jail. John’s doubt wasn’t unbelief. It was struggling with unfulfilled expectations. So when he asked Jesus, “are you Him?” Jesus’s answer was to heal many. He doesn’t just give John’s disciples words to bring back. He gives them examples and Jesus’ examples are actual prophecies said about the messiah. By pointing to these actions - Jesus is saying “yes.” It just doesn’t look like what you wanted. And Jesus gives us a word: “blessed are those that are not offended by me.” John’s expectations of Jesus were different. And Jesus tells him that those who don’t fall away, and those who trust, are blessed. Jesus does not rebuke or belittle him for his questions. Take heart! Even in our expectations and our doubts, Jesus still loves us and plans good for us. And even further, Jesus affirms and uplifts John in public. So we should not discount our role in God’s plan when we have doubts. Don’t forget your privilege in Christ. The power and Glory of the resurrection that lives in you. You serve a God who is big enough for your questions and to answer them gracefully. Yes there will be times when His Will won’t match our expectations. But His ways are higher and better. And He has involved us in His kingdom. Sermon Notes: 3/23/25 Pastor: Corey Deyamport Luke 7: 18-35 .

But verses like this show us that grace does not discriminate either! He heals the Jew and gentile alike. But what does get Jesus’s attention? Lowly needs, and humble faith. Centurions are powerful, and economically secure. But death cannot be resolved with money or influence. It would require a divine touch. And the fact that a Jewish group would plead with Jesus on behalf of a gentile - a centurion, no less - speaks volumes of this man’s conduct and heart. It was normally unlawful for Jewish people to even associate with gentiles. And the Jewish people say “he’s worthy, so you should go see him.” He’s Worthy. But when Jesus gets closer to this man, the centurion sees himself in light of Jesus. People think the Centurion is worthy, and a good guy, but as Jesus is coming to him, he recognizes true goodness in Jesus. The centurion's influence and power means nothing. When you look truly into the eyes of Jesus, we see how unworthy we are. And the centurion tells Jesus, I’m not worthy to have you in my house. Anything you’re willing to give me, I’ll take it. And Jesus marvels saying “Not even in Israel have I seen such faith.” There are many in the crowd following Jesus that probably didn’t believe that faith could be found outside of the Jewish community. And Jesus declares once and for all, that his love, his salvation, his mercy as well as the ability to have faith, is available for all cultures. In the other passage, we see a widow mourning. She didn’t have much to offer anyone. But Jesus looked with compassion for her as well. “Do not weep” He says. This world is filled with tears and pain. Jesus sees our tears and is moved by lowly needs. People with nothing to offer who simply need Jesus. Jesus sees our tears, and He has the power to do something about that. And this widow’s son is only meant to remind us that this is just a foretaste of what is to come. One day Jesus will raise all the dead, and wipe all the tears.

Your life is truly only as strong as your foundation. The flesh, the devil and the world does everything it can to distract us from these two points. We are constantly bombarded to take the edge off of what Jesus is saying. “Why do you call me Lord, when you don’t do what I tell you?” In this scripture, we have two different groups - there were people there who wanted to just be with Jesus. But there were also people who just wanted his power. But Jesus is calling us to follow and to submit. And he calls out the craziness of calling Him Master, while not actually following Him like a Master. What areas of your life have you acknowledged the Lord’s authority, but you refuse to submit to Him there. This is not just a statement of authority, but one of belonging. He’s not just Master because He has the power to do anything. But He's the Master because He has paid the price to be called that. Why do we obey when we are called to hard obedience? Because he has bought us with His life. We shouldn’t just call Him Lord, Lord, but we should submit to Him as Lord, Lord, because he paid for us. We are truly recognizing His authority, when we are completely committed to submitting to that authority. If our dogs can recognize our authority, we can certainly recognize the authority of the God of the universe who paid for us. And your life is truly only as strong as your foundation. When we listen to and follow the words of the Lord, we are building our stability in our lives and in Heaven. You cannot build the second story of a house before you build the first, and the foundation must come before that. You don’t build shallow, you build deep - and that’s what listening to the words of our Lord does. Listening to Jesus is a journey of depth. It absolutely can be work and hard, but it’s worth it. There’s two floods that are coming. The flood of this life - as this life throws pain and suffering and instability. That’s one reason why you dig. But the biggest flood is the flood of judgement - a flood of fire and judgement. And if you have only acknowledged Jesus as “Lord Lord” but you have not submitted, then you have not built your house on true solid foundation. And we risk being swept away in judgement. Now, are we saved by grace alone? YES. But grace never comes alone. If your life never shows any changes that come with submission to the Lord of the universe, then have you built your foundation deep enough to keep your house up when the flood comes? These false sands cannot hold your eternity. So instead, we must build our life on the rock of Jesus Christ. Sermon Notes: 3/9/25 Pastor: Brian Crawford Luke: 6: 46-49 .

We are truly recognizing His authority, when we are completely committed to submitting to that authority. If our dogs can recognize our authority, we can certainly recognize the authority of the God of the universe who paid for us. And your life is truly only as strong as your foundation. When we listen to and follow the words of the Lord, we are building our stability in our lives and in Heaven. You cannot build the second story of a house before you build the first, and the foundation must come before that. You don’t build shallow, you build deep - and that’s what listening to the words of our Lord does. Listening to Jesus is a journey of depth. It absolutely can be work and hard, but it’s worth it. There’s two floods that are coming. The flood of this life - as this life throws pain and suffering and instability. That’s one reason why you dig. But the biggest flood is the flood of judgement - a flood of fire and judgement. And if you have only acknowledged Jesus as “Lord Lord” but you have not submitted, then you have not built your house on true solid foundation. And we risk being swept away in judgement. Now, are we saved by grace alone? YES. But grace never comes alone. If your life never shows any changes that come with submission to the Lord of the universe, then have you built your foundation deep enough to keep your house up when the flood comes? These false sands cannot hold your eternity. So instead, we must build our life on the rock of Jesus Christ. Sermon Notes: 3/9/25 Pastor: Brian Crawford Luke: 6: 46-49 .

When a tree dies and falls over, we often discover that the inside of that tree has been dead long before it ever fell. Long before we ever noticed the branches falling. Before we inspect our neighbor’s lives for righteousness and call them out on their behavior, we should inspect ourselves. Because when we inspect ourselves and struggle with our own behavior, quite possibly, when we inspect our neighbor, we will judge them much differently. We might even leave them alone entirely. Until you do self-inspection, a true inspection, you have no right to look to your fellow Christian and approach them about their own actions. Now, remember, fruit production is not salvation by works. You are saved for works; you are not saved by works. A life that is transformed by God, produces goodness! A pattern of life comes when you are saved by Jesus Christ. Your pattern should be filled with more mercy, more love, more giving and less selfishness, less self-righteousness, less manipulation. The product of the life, reveals the heart. Fruit production is a reflection of a deeply experienced new life. The ability to extend mercy comes from a deeply experienced inner life. So when I experience new life, and I recognize how much I am loved and forgiven, we judge less. We forgive more. Many times, our fruit production, in the middle of the temptation to produce bad fruit, we identify more with the old tree, than the new tree. Who are you? How easily you revert back to your old self, how easily your draw your identity from who you used to be. Stop resorting back to the old tree, because we produce who we are. Stop telling yourself you are that old person! Christ died for you. Christ called you His representative. He has made you a new creature. He has the power to do this. The changes in ourselves are gradual and progressive - over time, the changes in our hearts grow over years. Changes in attitude create changes in actions creates changes in relationship. For out of the abundance of our heart, the mouth speaks. Your actions are driven by where your identity truly is. And to change that, we need to go and inspect our heart. I can say I’m a kind and loving person… but do I produce it? Do my actions reflect my kindness and love? Sermon Notes: 3/2/25 Pastor: Brian Crawford Luke 6: 43-45 .

We break this command when we judge an entire life only by its worst moments. When we don’t put ourselves in their position. When we judge, we do so from a self-righteous position. Considering ourselves above and beyond. The Lord forgives us such a large debt, yet we judge others for the small debts they owe us. When we do not forgive our brother from our heart, we will not be forgiven. We are not qualified to condemn others for their actions. We are not qualified. There is only one qualified! The opposite is also true, the measure by which we forgive, we will be forgiven. The language used in this text, speaks in abundance, but we should not be so quick to only view it that way. This whole text is about forgiveness. We should be lavishly forgiving other their debts. We are not called to be the first to move, but when we do, we should move like Jesus. When we have not allowed Christ to change us from the inside out, to be merciful as our Father is merciful, then any teaching or guiding others will only lead to stumbling. If we refuse to be like Jesus, how can we teach others? We destroy our own purpose when we do so, for we are commanded to spread his message. Through humility and training, we should look more and more like our teacher. We should be growing in showing mercy, forgiveness, and love. Is your life reflecting the one who came to save the world? What makes this challenge so difficult, is the enemy within. The whispers within us will continue to build the longer we are disconnected from our Teacher. Consistency is what brings change, either positive or negative. Jesus invites us to change, by considering ourselves before we consider others. Jesus isn’t subtle - the image here is someone telling you to pull a small speck out of your eye, when they have a log in theirs. The small things we call out in others, will most likely be overshadowed by our own failures. Be warned, however, we should speak to our brothers failing. But we need to go about it in a protocol. Be gentle, seek reconciliation, and to consider our own sin before we go to our brother. When was the last time you prayed, “Lord show me my blind spots.” The real change in our own lives happens when we allow the Lord to show us what we need to change.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . It’s easy to take words too literally. But with the Bible, we often don’t take Jesus’s words serious enough. We tell ourselves - “God didn’t mean THAT, did he?” Traditionally, we read this text with so many concessions and caveats. It’s hard for us to follow it. But the hardest sayings of Jesus aren’t meant to be heard as metaphor. Love our enemies. We often have our ideas of what love means to us. But Jesus takes the idea of real love, and takes it to new heights. The real love Christians are called to is for our enemies. We are called to love even the most unlovable people. And Jesus gives us no alternative. What are our enemies? It’s more than people we have mild disagreements with. But rather, it’s people who plead and pray to their gods for your downfall or death. “Bless those that curse you” not in a figurative sense, but in a literal sense. Those who abuse you - who strike you - who steal from you. If they have prayed for your downfall - love them. Those with the most possible ill will towards you, you are to love them. And what about those that we just mildly disagree with? Those across the political isle? Across the border? Across the racial divide? It is a scandal of the highest order for Christian’s to withhold love from those we disagree with when the lord is calling us to love the very worst among us. The appearance of real love: Do good, bless and pray. Perform, seek and pray for good things to happen to the worst of enemies. Even more, these love actions are written in the present tense in the Greek. This is an ongoing habitual action of those following Christ. This love is not an occasional action. This treatment is a habitual act - it should be just what you do every day. It should be how you operate! Why must a Christian not treat this as occasional? Because this is a Christians testimony. It’s what sets us apart. Even sinners lend money to other sinners - so where do you stand out? It's when you love through tension and opposition. Your distinction is best on display in response to difficult relationships and struggle. The kind of love the world teaching you to walk in ends at tension. And what Jesus says that real love, that you have been called to walk in, BEGINS at tension. When you have to seek the help of the Lord to push though - that IS LOVE. What do we do? Do good, and lend expecting nothing in return. How do we do it? Christians are not governed by the responses of people around them, but rather God’s character, acceptance of us, and by His reward for us. The real love of Christ rests in Christ. Not the earthly objects of our love. So your response to mistreatment in the moment is a reflection of our love of our Father in heaven. God’s promise to us, is that we will be sons of the Most High in this command to love. Who are you? Do you value the satisfaction that comes with revenge, or do you value your relationship with your Father. Remember… you were once that enemy of God you are now called to love.

It is a scandal of the highest order for Christian’s to withhold love from those we disagree with when the lord is calling us to love the very worst among us. The appearance of real love: Do good, bless and pray. Perform, seek and pray for good things to happen to the worst of enemies. Even more, these love actions are written in the present tense in the Greek. This is an ongoing habitual action of those following Christ. This love is not an occasional action. This treatment is a habitual act - it should be just what you do every day. It should be how you operate! Why must a Christian not treat this as occasional? Because this is a Christians testimony. It’s what sets us apart. Even sinners lend money to other sinners - so where do you stand out? It's when you love through tension and opposition. Your distinction is best on display in response to difficult relationships and struggle. The kind of love the world teaching you to walk in ends at tension. And what Jesus says that real love, that you have been called to walk in, BEGINS at tension. When you have to seek the help of the Lord to push though - that IS LOVE. What do we do? Do good, and lend expecting nothing in return. How do we do it? Christians are not governed by the responses of people around them, but rather God’s character, acceptance of us, and by His reward for us. The real love of Christ rests in Christ. Not the earthly objects of our love. So your response to mistreatment in the moment is a reflection of our love of our Father in heaven. God’s promise to us, is that we will be sons of the Most High in this command to love. Who are you? Do you value the satisfaction that comes with revenge, or do you value your relationship with your Father. Remember… you were once that enemy of God you are now called to love.

It’s easy to take words too literally. But with the Bible, we often don’t take Jesus’s words serious enough. We tell ourselves - “God didn’t mean THAT, did he?” Traditionally, we read this text with so many concessions and caveats. It’s hard for us to follow it. But the hardest sayings of Jesus aren’t meant to be heard as metaphor. Love our enemies. We often have our ideas of what love means to us. But Jesus takes the idea of real love, and takes it to new heights. The real love Christians are called to is for our enemies. We are called to love even the most unlovable people. And Jesus gives us no alternative. What are our enemies? It’s more than people we have mild disagreements with. But rather, it’s people who plead and pray to their gods for your downfall or death. “Bless those that curse you” not in a figurative sense, but in a literal sense. Those who abuse you - who strike you - who steal from you. If they have prayed for your downfall - love them. Those with the most possible ill will towards you, you are to love them. And what about those that we just mildly disagree with? Those across the political isle? Across the border? Across the racial divide?

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . This text is very straightforward, and very piercing. We often believe that power, and dominance will win the game of life. We align ourselves with people who have power. We hold allegiances to people who have the power they do. But the laws that govern the Kingdom of God, are not the laws that govern this world. In this text, the woeful life is the one that seems to be filled with worldly good things - wealth, food, laughter, being hyped up, all while your heart is far from God, and therefore facing destruction. It doesn’t work like we think it works. Without Christ, the good things of this world are setting us up for infinite destruction. That’s what “woe” is - infinite condemnation. So, we have to decide what is more important to us. Are we pursuing worldly happiness outside of Christ. Or are we pursuing a relationship with Christ. And that doesn’t mean that there aren’t wealthy Christians out there. But Paul gives us clear instruction on how to handle riches - to avoid pride, and to keep our hope in Christ, not our money. The specific warning he gives the rich is “You have already received your consolation.” If wealth blinds us to Christ, then we have our reward here on earth, rather than gaining the Kingdom. In terms of food - you can have full bellies but be empty of Christ if we do not depend on Him for sustenance. And if we do not have Christ we will be eternally hungry. In terms of happiness. (What he’s talking about here, are people who are amused by the suffering around them, or apathetic toward suffering around them). When you build your entertainment on the backs on those who are suffering, we are laughing without Christ. Stay alert to the apathy. Don’t laugh at the demise of other’s lives. That’s what Christ is warning us about. In terms of being well liked in the wrong ways - we’re either doing what the world is doing, or saying what the world wants us to say. And when we receive that validation, we are more likely to enjoy and love those who give that praise. Those that follow Christ, the world will press up against you and hate you. So if we’re loved by everyone in the world… we are making a big mistake. To be in Jesus is to invite tension and dissension from among the majority of the world.

We live in a culture that ascribes ultimate value in the wrong things - both within the church and outside. We desire to be rich, full, entertained and liked. Our society tells us that these 4 things will bring us Joy. The reality is the opposite - these 4 things will bring us emptiness. Ultimate joy is found in Christ. This text today is from the Sermon on the Plain. This sermon has something to teach us about Joy. Kingdom Joy and worldly joy are not the same. Kingdom Joy can and will come through struggle. Worldly joy can avoid struggle but is only temporary. This portion of the sermon, the “Blessed are”'s is not for the lay-people. But rather this sermon is for his disciples. Jesus has care and love for the poor, hungry, etc. but Jesus is telling His disciples that those who are poor and hungry and struggling, but in Him are “Markarori” or a status of "being favored" - AKA-blessed. They may be hungry, or weep, but they are covered and protected by God, when they are in Christ. No matter what they are going through, God will be with you. And everyone who knows they are blessed, will have Joy, no matter what comes! 71% of the world lives on less than 10 dollars a day. Poverty is a real problem in the world. And that can create a dependence on the Lord. A holy dependence. A need and a desire for Jesus. God doesn’t despise the poor. Rather, it means He is walking with them in their need. Luke is also explaining how our physical pains and suffering can strengthen our faith in the Lord. When God gives us a heart of flesh, after he saves us, it makes us weep for the suffering in the world. Some people are callus and don’t care, but when you morn for the people around you - take courage, because He will turn sorrow into tears of Joy. The Lord is doing two things - He is building you now, and He is building us for the day to come. When you find yourself in discipline, it’s because you are His. God allows us to experience the low points in life, to teach us the lessons we couldn’t learn any other way. But in revelations 21, the Lord will wipe away our tears, and Joy will rise even higher than we ever could have imagined. He is doing something for the end, too. Lastly, there is a reason we see Joy like the rest of the culture sees it, rather than the way Christ outlines it. 5k Christian’s died in 2023 for being Christian. Most of that was in Nigeria. We have inordinate wealth and prosperity in this country. So, the only suffering we know, is when our material comfort is threatened. We don't know persecution, like those who die in mass just for praying "differently." When we are truly hated for our faith, we should rejoice, for our reward is great in heaven.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Prayer should be the default in our lives when making big decisions. When Jesus calls His 12 disciples, He modeled for us what it looks like to live dependently on God. Three things stand out in this passage to us: Intentional prayer Purposeful positioning Divine power. Intentional Prayer - Before Jesus picked His disciples, He spent all night in prayer. Jesus has demonstrated that He is powerful and Lord of the Sabbath. But even still, He went out to pray - away from the crowds and even the disciples. He isolated Himself and then prayed. He spent time intentionally with the Father. We are always so easily drawn away from our time with God, it is so powerful to get away from everything. Purposeful positioning - fisherman and tax collectors (who would have been at odds) the tax collector and the zealot who would have been at odds as well. Jesus called such a different group of people together. Now, it’s easy for us to separate ourself from groups who aren’t like ourselves. But God’s purpose is not about comparing ourself to others. But with the holy burden of being chosen for a task. Divine Power - as Jesus came down from His night of prayer, the multitude was waiting for Him. Jesus’s mission was always for the needy. And he sent out the newly elected disciples to work for Him, with all the power to heal and cure. When we are on mission, we are granted divine power to affect the world around us. It is for the labor we have been called, and among a multitude we are called to our divine appointment. Sermon Notes 1/27/25 Corey Deyamport Luke 6: 12-19 .

Jesus has demonstrated that He is powerful and Lord of the Sabbath. But even still, He went out to pray - away from the crowds and even the disciples. He isolated Himself and then prayed. He spent time intentionally with the Father. We are always so easily drawn away from our time with God, it is so powerful to get away from everything. Purposeful positioning - fisherman and tax collectors (who would have been at odds) the tax collector and the zealot who would have been at odds as well. Jesus called such a different group of people together. Now, it’s easy for us to separate ourself from groups who aren’t like ourselves. But God’s purpose is not about comparing ourself to others. But with the holy burden of being chosen for a task. Divine Power - as Jesus came down from His night of prayer, the multitude was waiting for Him. Jesus’s mission was always for the needy. And he sent out the newly elected disciples to work for Him, with all the power to heal and cure. When we are on mission, we are granted divine power to affect the world around us. It is for the labor we have been called, and among a multitude we are called to our divine appointment. Sermon Notes 1/27/25 Corey Deyamport Luke 6: 12-19 .

Ask yourself 3 questions: What is the American church (The Church) known for today? And What is your own church known for today? And finally, What are you known for today? These are dangerous questions to ask. But in the verses before us this morning, is a challenge and a description. Jesus is preparing His disciples for His departure. His disciples should be known for their Christ-like love. So we must pursue and proclaim an unusual, and otherworldly type of love. Now ask yourself, is that what you are known for? Martin Luther King’s letters from the Birmingham jail call the church to seek to be known as disciples of Jesus through love, rather than following the winds of society. If the church doesn’t love deeply across all divides and distinctions, we lose the identity of what makes us followers of Christ. In this passage, Jesus gives us a commandment that is new - love one another as Jesus has loved us. The standard has been raised in this command. Jesus is telling His disciples, “you have walked with Me, and suffered with Me, and you know how I have loved you. Now go, and give that love to others!” Jesus’ love moves beyond attraction and emotion and condition. And that’s what he calls us to do! So: 1)what should we do? 2)how will this happen? How to love like Jesus - With Service, Without selectiveness, and With Sacrifice. Through His examples in this chapter, shows us that Love is humbling as Jesus washes His disciples' feet. Is your love only demonstrated from your position of convenience? Even Judas’s feet were washed - love with unconditional service. Even Peter’s feet, when he would soon deny him. Acting like Christ means to pray and love and have compassion and humility even of those who would betray. The kind of love Jesus is disciplining us in, is loving your enemies, even when you mean you harm and hate. So, how does Jesus expect us to do it? Where does the provision come from to do this? 1)Recognizing the source - When Jesus died sacrificially, he fuels us with the capacity to love. Because he first loved us. In our resurrection, having died with Christ, we have received the ability to do so. 2)we have clear pictures of who were were before Christ. We were like Judas. How can I withhold love from those who betray me? When I - a perpetual denier and betrayer - have been loved so much by Jesus. 3)the Spirit within us, will allow us to boldly, courageously love with sacrifice and without condition. The Spirit which Jesus gives us the provision of, empowers us to be able to do so! Sermon Date - 1/19/25 Pastor: Brian Crawford John 13:33-36 .

This verse is showing us so much! We have 2 sabbaths showing us two very important points. 1-we need rest. 2-we find rest only in Christ. One thing we often think we see is that we must always hustle, 7 days a week. But it is not true. In this verse, we see Jesus acting as Lord of the sabbath. The Pharisees will not stop dogging him. They are so entrenched in their legalism, that they can’t seem to stay out of other people’s business. But what we see the Pharisees see is Jesus and His disciples doing work on the sabbath. This was a serious command! Actually, punishable by death. It’s because God saved them from slavery, so the sabbath was a reminder of Who saved them. Refusal to rest and worship is refusal to acknowledge the power and sovereignty of God. So the punishment was severe. The first sabbath mentioned, Jesus *does not* make a case for why the sabbath is not good or useful. Instead, He begins to redefine the object and the use of the sabbath. He starts with a story about David. And when David is given the holy bread for His survival. The person is more important than the thing. And Jesus declares “I am the Lord of the sabbath” what he’s saying is: 1- he’s above the sabbath. He sets the order. He sets the rules. 2- everyone finds their rest in me. In the Pharisees habit of increasing the rules, the Pharisees have made the day of rest an actual burden. The sabbath wasn’t meant to be a burden, it was supposed to be a reminder to rest and be pointed back to God. In the second sabbath mentioned, Jesus demonstrates. The man with the withered hand, is certainly in pain. AND he would have been socially outcast to some degree. This is a man who would have needed rest. The Pharisees were so concerned with the day of rest, they would have withheld rest from someone who needed it because of the day it is. So, Christ gives this man rest. He brings the man up so everyone can see, and asks the Pharisees, “are you going to permit me to withhold rest from a man in the name of rest?” And the Pharisees were furious! Mindlessly raging. They couldn’t celebrate someone coming to rest on the day of rest. It was only after coming into contact with Jesus that we find rest. Rest is not in law keeping - rest is in Him. And remember, we, in our culture, miss rest because we reject any constraint at all on the sabbath now. We never seem to stop, seeking achievement, believing that achievement will bring us rest. When Jesus is the one who brings us there. Sermon Date - 1/12/25 Pastor: Brian Crawford Luke 6:1-11 .

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Why don’t Jesus disciples fast? In this text, we find a people who are struggling with “newness.” These Pharisees are totally not getting or understanding why Jesus is doing things differently from themselves. But they were adding more regulation to God’s instruction. It was solely their opinion that certain acts should have been followed. And Jesus gives them two responses. 1) we are enjoying this party because Joy has arrived. And 2) and we are enjoying this party because New has arrived. Joy - the parable we see is one of marriage and brides and grooms. Jesus’ answer is simply - “what wedding have you ever gone to, where they fast during the feast?” It’s a celebration! Jesus’s presence symbolizes the marriage portion of a wedding - there’s no reason to be sad, or grieve. The Groom is here! For those “married” to Him, now means we are now eternally saved! There’s NO REASON to be sad - even on the occasions when our life crumbles around us. New - he told them a parable about new patches on old garments, and new wine in old wine skins. In the example in the garments - when you patch an old shirt with a new shirt. You wind up just destroying two shirts when you try and do that. Jesus is telling the Pharisees that Salvation is not a patch the Pharisees use to fix up their way of doing things. It has to replace it! With the wine skins - during fermentation, gas is released from the grape juice, so when the container is sealed it has pressure built up, so the new wine skin can stretch. Old wineskins, however, do not have the elasticity left in the container. They will burst under the pressure of new wine. Jesus is saying that the vessel needs to be new to hold the Joy and Gospel. Sometimes we approach our old life, with new wine mentality. We need to change totally and completely. If I take my old life and try to add upgrade it a little bit, I will break. I must be willing to trade the old way of viewing things, for the new way of viewing and doing things. Are you viewing your Christian life like new wine in old wineskins? Or are you sincerely and genuinely asking the Lord to completely and totally recreate your life, so that it centers around Him? Jesus says He didn’t come here to modify your story. I’m here to completely and totally transform it. Sermon Date - 1/5/25 Pastor: Brian Crawford Luke 5:33-39 .

In this text, we find a people who are struggling with “newness.” These Pharisees are totally not getting or understanding why Jesus is doing things differently from themselves. But they were adding more regulation to God’s instruction. It was solely their opinion that certain acts should have been followed. And Jesus gives them two responses. 1) we are enjoying this party because Joy has arrived. And 2) and we are enjoying this party because New has arrived. Joy - the parable we see is one of marriage and brides and grooms. Jesus’ answer is simply - “what wedding have you ever gone to, where they fast during the feast?” It’s a celebration! Jesus’s presence symbolizes the marriage portion of a wedding - there’s no reason to be sad, or grieve. The Groom is here! For those “married” to Him, now means we are now eternally saved! There’s NO REASON to be sad - even on the occasions when our life crumbles around us. New - he told them a parable about new patches on old garments, and new wine in old wine skins. In the example in the garments - when you patch an old shirt with a new shirt. You wind up just destroying two shirts when you try and do that.

But Jesus, invites us to the table! And He calls us to call others! In this text we'll see how Jesus calls the outcast, Levi celebrating the change within his life and finally, we see Jesus confronting the critics. Jesus called a tax collector to follow Him. He called a traitor to Him, who exploited His family and the Jewish people. To the Jewish community, Levi wasn’t just a sinner, he was the worst kind of sinner. Jesus calls the worst of us, despised, and ostracized. Jesus calls Him to a new life, to abandon his sinful ways. He was changed from this moment onward! Permanently. Levi also celebrates his transformation. He threw a party! Interacting with Jesus should lead us to celebrate. To come to joy! Levi rejoices, calls together his friends. Who does he invite? Fellow tax collectors. He had no other community. The only people he had to invite were other tax collectors. So he brings them. This feast is a declaration of a spread of Gods faith. This new freedom, he takes it and shares it for the one who frees him, and with those who shared in his bondage. Are we reflecting the light Jesus shows us, or are we veiling our faith to those who need it just as much as we do? But the Pharisees see this teacher or prophet choose to associate with tax collectors! How can this be? Choosing to eat with sinners was seen as accepting their way of life. The Pharisees, instead of seeing the law was about relationship, instead became rigid and hardened their hearts. They didn’t see that Jesus doesn’t become unclean by sitting with the unclean. Instead He makes the unclean clean by coming into contact with them. And Jesus’ metaphor he tells the Pharisees is something they would understand. A doctor’s place is with the sick, not with the healthy. The Pharisees see themselves as well, but they are blind to their own sickness, and need of a savior.

Leprosy is painful and debilitating. (Luke makes sure that the leprosy described is actually leprosy!) This man is in very bad condition - being "Full" of leprosy. But lepers in this time were not just impacted physically, but emotionally and socially. He was to live alone and dress/talk/act like a suffering man. They were even referred to as “the living dead” at that time. But despite this, the Leper 1) gets close, breaking all social protocol. 2) fell on his face, believing Jesus to be Lord and being humble in His presence. This man’s faith is scandalous! The leper steps out into uncharted waters with uncertain outcomes on nothing but accepting the will of God. Praise the Lord, not only does Jesus have the ability to clean the body, but clean the sins on a man! Because of the cleansing of Leper, the word gets out, and crowds started gather around Jesus. And the next miracle we see Jesus perform is healing the paralyzed man. The paralyzed man had to be lifted through the roofs to get around the crowds. These men doing this show incredible compassion to one in need. Again, this is a risky, active faith, just like the leper. What do they do? The cut a hole in someone’s roof! They’re willing to take the risk because “all they have to do is reach Jesus.” God hears the pleas of a friend, for sure! But in the moment, we see Jesus forgives the man’s sins instead of healing his legs! And the Pharisees start accusing Jesus of blasphemy in their minds. But Jesus perceives their thoughts, and outwardly says “why do you doubt?” And then takes it all a step further, healing the paralyzed man. He who has the power to heal, has the power to save. He wants others to see and believe! When the Lord provides for us in any way, it is a reminder of the power of God and that he has already cleansed you of your sins!

In this verse, we have a fishing experience, and great humility shows up that changes those present. Our perception of ourselves, our identity and Our response- can change when you understand who is in the boat with you. When Jesus is in the boat, our perception of ourselves changes. In this boat, he begins teaching lessons about God. Simon addresses Jesus as master - so even though Peter is the professional fisherman this moment, he still obeys despite this expertise. But Peter doesn’t fully understand who is in the boat with him. And we go from one boat with no fish, to two boats filled to the point of sinking. Simon’s at first called Jesus Master… but now he understands who he is in the boat with, and he responds by calling Jesus Lord! And when he does so, he recognizes himself in contrast, and Simon tells the Lord to depart from him, because Simon is a sinner. When we see God for who He is, we see ourselves for who we are - when we see the face of God, we know how unclean we are. You don’t know yourself until you see Him. While humanity snatch fish from the sea, moving us away from Life towards Death, Jesus Snatches people in “the sea” from death to life. Being fishermen of men, is active, not passive. It requires work - hard work. It’s not easy to go out into our community and pull lives from death to life. Our identity is changed - we are called to do the work required to catch humanity with the Gospel. Our response changes too! When Simon Peter fully comes to grips with Who was in the boat with them, he drops everything to follow the Lord. He leaves his burdens behind, takes up his cross, and follows Him. Despite who we are, God is still invites us into His presence. Sermon Date: 12/15/24 Speaker: Brian Crawford Luke 5:1-11 .

When we see God for who He is, we see ourselves for who we are - when we see the face of God, we know how unclean we are. You don’t know yourself until you see Him. While humanity snatch fish from the sea, moving us away from Life towards Death, Jesus Snatches people in “the sea” from death to life. Being fishermen of men, is active, not passive. It requires work - hard work. It’s not easy to go out into our community and pull lives from death to life. Our identity is changed - we are called to do the work required to catch humanity with the Gospel. Our response changes too! When Simon Peter fully comes to grips with Who was in the boat with them, he drops everything to follow the Lord. He leaves his burdens behind, takes up his cross, and follows Him.

But Jesus’s declarations are often not accepted by the crowds. In Nazareth, he declares what He is there for. But in Capernaum, they get to see what he does! Once in Capernaum, Jesus begins fulfilling what he just said he would do. He teaches in the Synagogue on the sabbath, with the kind of authority that compelled Awe. Then begins setting free demons from the people. Even the demons know His power and authority. And they fear Him. “You are the Son of God,” they say. Jesus rebuked them - be silent, and come out. Jesus has not only the power to cast them out, but silence them from talking about the things He doesn’t want them talking about. But Jesus also protects the bodies of the victims. The power of Christ is over the ENTIRE situation. Even the demons know His name, and know their place. In the situation with Simon’s Mother-in-law, when Jesus rebuked the fever, she immediately rose and served Jesus. When Christ improves our life, it can often lead to us receiving earthly gifts. We have to make a choice, do we stay focused on our gifts, and take our sight off God? Or do we keep our focus on Him, and serve Him, rather than serve ourselves. Jesus is dedicated to His mission. Despite the people around Him wanting Him to stay, Jesus knows He must go and proclaim the news to other places. God didn’t call us to be comfortable in your own journey.

In this text, Jesus is making a return home after 40 days in the wilderness tempted by Satan. But His return home, He’s treated as a hometown boy. He returns home with power - fortified - after He faced a physical and spiritual test. When the flesh, world and the devil test us, it can either break us, or strengthen us. When Jesus returned home, He was being recognized (celebrated and popular). But recognition is not reverence. Many people fall in love with the power of Christ, but still cling to our own will and authority. This is what Jesus returns home to. He was popular, but not praised. The word that Jesus preaches is Isaiah 61. This would not have been a usual text in Judaism. We read texts like this, and we immediately think this is about Salvation. But the Jewish community wouldn’t think anything special or particular. But Jesus is making them aware that His ministry is beginning. He is bringing salvation, freedom from oppression, and liberation from suffering. But because He was in His hometown, He receives disbelief and doubt at His proclamation - that He is bringing that peace and salvation through Himself. And He quotes the Old Testament, he shares that the Good news is going out to the Gentiles as well! Not just the Jews. And this infuriated His hometown. Jesus is literally saying - I’ve come to bring all the things you’ve been waiting for, BUT if you don’t receive me, you’ll be on the outside of those good things. And His hometown reacted in fury. And they tried to kill Him. The Jesus we don’t have to submit to, or embrace is the one we feel is easy to Glorify. But the Jesus who tells us that we must give up our way to receive Him, we often push away. But this is the ONLY Jesus that’s available! He is King - and He comes on His terms. If you refuse that, you will be on the outside, even if you grew up in the same home town. Sermon Date: 12/01/24 Speaker: Brian Crawford Luke 4:14-30 .

Trials teach us what we are and who we are made of. Right after His baptism, we discover what Jesus is made of by His temptations by Satan. Trials reveal our character. (What are the responses to your trials saying about you)? God allows our Trials and testing. (Full of the Holy Spirit and was led by the spirit) Jesus was not in this position due to an error Jesus made. It was deliberate and not random. God was allowing Jesus to be tested to succeed in His covenant, where man has failed in his. Jesus could do what man cannot do. This story brings to mind the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. God was announcing to the world that Jesus was His son in this moment of testing. God does not tempt us with evil. In any situation we are tested, God is not giving us evil, but rather the devil is tempting us. But rather providing the way out, know this, though, God does allow the storm, the testing. So that we can see what type of person we are and what we have to deal with in our own lives. Trials are meant to grow you, and not Grieve you! In the midst of your testing, the Lord is often trying to work something out of us - impurities that might be removed when they rise to the surface. God reveals certain things with certain tests. The only reason for Jesus to be tempted to turn stones to bread is because He *can* do it. Something about this test reveals Jesus’s character to us. He is in the end of a 40 day fast. It makes complete sense for Satan to tempt Jesus with food. But this attempt is trying to turn Christs trust away from His Father. Which makes Jesus’s response so important - “man shall not live by bread alone” revealing His trust in the Father. The second question Satan asks is "is it worth your obedience? Worship me and I will give you all things!" But Jesus replies “only Him shall you serve.” The truth is that God owns everything in its fullness. The temptation is to believe the lie that God is not actually in control. In these moments of trial and testing, it reveals what we really believe in those moments. What are you saying with your own life? Do you believe that God can reward? The last test - throw yourself from the rooftop and angels will supernaturally take care of you. And Jesus responds “you will not test Him.” Satan is actually saying “if you continue to worship Him, will He protect you. Let’s see!” We all crave safety and protection. But, the life of Christ is NOT SAFE! He was sent to die for us. What does this reveal about our Savior? We have a High Priest who weathered all the temptations we can. And we can look to our savior, and put our faith in someone who has been through what we’ve been through. Sermon Date: 11/24/24 Speaker: Brian Crawford Luke 4:1-12 .

So that we can see what type of person we are and what we have to deal with in our own lives. Trials are meant to grow you, and not Grieve you! In the midst of your testing, the Lord is often trying to work something out of us - impurities that might be removed when they rise to the surface. God reveals certain things with certain tests. The only reason for Jesus to be tempted to turn stones to bread is because He *can* do it. Something about this test reveals Jesus’s character to us. He is in the end of a 40 day fast. It makes complete sense for Satan to tempt Jesus with food. But this attempt is trying to turn Christs trust away from His Father. Which makes Jesus’s response so important - “man shall not live by bread alone” revealing His trust in the Father. The second question Satan asks is "is it worth your obedience? Worship me and I will give you all things!" But Jesus replies “only Him shall you serve.” The truth is that God owns everything in its fullness. The temptation is to believe the lie that God is not actually in control. In these moments of trial and testing, it reveals what we really believe in those moments. What are you saying with your own life? Do you believe that God can reward? The last test - throw yourself from the rooftop and angels will supernaturally take care of you. And Jesus responds “you will not test Him.” Satan is actually saying “if you continue to worship Him, will He protect you. Let’s see!” We all crave safety and protection. But, the life of Christ is NOT SAFE! He was sent to die for us. What does this reveal about our Savior? We have a High Priest who weathered all the temptations we can. And we can look to our savior, and put our faith in someone who has been through what we’ve been through. Sermon Date: 11/24/24 Speaker: Brian Crawford Luke 4:1-12 .

Trials teach us what we are and who we are made of. Right after His baptism, we discover what Jesus is made of by His temptations by Satan. Trials reveal our character. (What are the responses to your trials saying about you)? God allows our Trials and testing. (Full of the Holy Spirit and was led by the spirit) Jesus was not in this position due to an error Jesus made. It was deliberate and not random. God was allowing Jesus to be tested to succeed in His covenant, where man has failed in his. Jesus could do what man cannot do. This story brings to mind the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. God was announcing to the world that Jesus was His son in this moment of testing. God does not tempt us with evil. In any situation we are tested, God is not giving us evil, but rather the devil is tempting us. But rather providing the way out, know this, though, God does allow the storm, the testing.

The first time you meet someone, you often get asked: “who are you people” or “what’s your name.” The name you produce says a lot more than just a name. Knowing your name means knowing your family, and a family’s name carries their history. This text today tells us “who Jesus’s people are.” And this tells us that: Jesus is for all people He is the fulfillment of God’s promises. Jesus is fully man and fully God. Jesus is for all people: the angel tells us, announcing Jesus’s birth that His birth is great news for “all people.” The genealogy declares that Jesus and Jesus alone fits the mold to be the promised messiah. He is legally and spiritually the One. His connection to the royal bloodline and David, would show that He is the heir. But Luke traces the history all the way back to Adam and even God. Jesus is not just a Jewish Jesus, but He is a Jesus for all nations. Just as sin came in through one man - Adam, one man - Jesus, brought justification. Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises: this genealogy shows that Jesus is the resolution of all the promises God made to His people. And if God kept His promises to David and Abraham, we can be certain that God can keep his promises to us. Jesus is fully God and Fully man: Jesus is uniquely qualified to fulfill those promises. This genealogy shows us He was fully man and fully God. The word “as supposed,” shows that he was legally Joseph’s child, but he was of divine origin. In this way; He could bridge the gap between heaven and earth. And because of this, we can be adopted as sons and daughters of the Most High. We are heirs. And this adoption is granted to us solely by His grace. This truth transforms (or should transform) how we live. So when doubts creep in because we look at our lives and see how our unworthiness… we can look to Jesus and His act on the cross. We are not accidental citizens of Heaven.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Sermon Notes - October 10th God doesn’t do what I would do if I were God. This psalm highlights those who prey on the weak or poor, and yet they prosper. For those who want to see justice; this can make us mad. Yet…. Vengeance is mine, said the Lord! So how do we wrestle with these two concepts - we want to do justice. But vengeance is the Lord’s. Yet, sometimes, we’re the one who’s oppressed. And when we are, we can feel like we’re alone: like God’s not there. David in the psalm cries out, not only saying “where are you” but he calls God to action. “Do something! I’m calling you to intervene” … but he gives it to God, saying “God, this is your battle. you handle this.” We are not always the answer to the questions we have. When we see injustice, our first act should be to beseech God to fix the issue. When you do this, you take your place off the judgement seat. You say that God is in control. That God should take it in His hands. What takes the greatest strength? Surrender. Not attempting to impart our own justice. So, the more opportunities God puts in front of us, the more chances we have to surrender and give up our desire for control to God. Sermon Date: 11/10/2024 Speaker: Scott Fortenberry Psalm 10 .

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Sermon notes Luke 3: 1-22 Here's a snapshot of the politics surrounding John and his proclaiming of the Christ to come: Tiberius is the emperor of Rome. He ruled during the ministry of John and the ministry of Jesus. He was able to get Rome out of its debt over this time. But his time in rulership is filled with incredible scandal and rumor. Pilot was appointed a local ruler over the Jews. Pilot and the Jews had several conflicts. Herod is the ruler of Galile. John confronted Herod over his marriage. He was eventually imprisoned and killed during this time. There are all kinds of politics at play. But during this chaos and power plays, “the world of God came to John the Baptist in the wilderness.” The word of God showed up not to an emperor, but to a man in the woods eating locusts and honey. While all the word was fighting over the land, all of their stories would be overshadowed by a man they didn’t even know existed. All of the politics were happening, but people were going to woods to hear from God. John's message was not about doing work in any physical place - but our hearts. John's message was a call to repentance and his message also contains the context of violent radical change in our hearts. Repentance is an act of faith; we change because we trust the Lord. We submit our will to Jesus. What does repentance look like? You use your resources to help and serve those without. Tax collectors - collect no more than you were authorized to do. Soldiers - don’t extort others or be dishonest. Be content with wages. But both are to view other humans as image bearers and help others, serve others. Repentance is a radical alteration of course. His message was of radical submission to Jesus, and radical service to neighbor. When Jesus comes into your presence he will baptize you in spirit and fire. The spirit is our retainer, it keeps us. And the fire is the burning away of stuff that is not like Jesus. But for some of us; those who will not repent, that fire looks like judgement. So the hope that you and I have; when we repent, we don’t have to say it alone - the Lord gives us the spirit. Sermon Date: 11/3/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford Luke 3: 1-22 .

If we were there when Jesus is presented to the temple, as in verses 22-40, our eyes would be fastened on the infinite hope displayed in this child. Simeon and Anna are present so we are alerted to this fact. We too are called to fix our eyes on Jesus and embrace Him as the hope and light of the world. The wait for Jesus Christ as redeemer is over. He has come, therefore we can receive him as our Redeemer. These verses show Jesus' Designation, Jesus' Destination, and Jesus' Declaration. Designation: the first male to open the womb shall be called holy - and offered two turtledoves and 2 pigeons as sacrifice. He was ALREADY declared holy before he was born. And under the law. And according to God’s word. Everything about Jesus is presented as being born under the law, for God. God chose this specific time in history to send his son into the world, so that he could redeem us. Jesus’s birth was to release us from the law, and usher in a new relationship with God through his death. Destination- He is concentrated as holy, under the lord. Jesus was to be “set aside for a divine purpose.” From the very beginning on of His birth. He is not only concentrated, but the concentrator - making us all holy, for the Lord. Simeon shows us that God is not slacking in His promises. Just as he waited for years, but we should not give up hope for the days to come. Jesus is for us - he is a consoler, a savior, an all-in-all. He is the fulfiller of both the Law, and the prophets. Declaration- Simeon’s words shows us where Jesus will be directed. He foreshadows the struggles and fight. His death to come, so we can be free from sin. This passage is evangelistic passage. Jesus is the message - we can accept his sacrifice as penance for our sins. Those who receive the message of Christ shall be saved, but those who reject the message of Christ will be destroyed. We also see another prophetic declaration - from Anna. She further proclaims Jesus’s arrival as the messiah. She declares that it was not ONLY for the Jew, but also for the gentiles. Praise God!

But his ordinary presentation is NOT a display of His actual power. We look at these verses to see two things: Jesus' Ordinary Birth, and how it highlights His Extraordinary Proclamation. Ordinary Birth - Jesus’s birth happens where it happens because of a normal mundane circumstance: a census. Even getting there is a 3-4 day (for healthy people) travel for Bethlehem. But Mary is pregnant. But God is moving heaven and earth and government to get Mary and Joseph where they need to be for this prophecy to be fulfilled. And he was born in a manger - a stinking, cramped box for feeding animals. God is drawing our attention to the circumstances of his Birth, it’s ordinary and humble. Jesus didn’t come to earth born in a beautiful comfortable palace; instead, He was born in a manger. God is telling us that He was born for everyone. Ordinary and regular folk. Extraordinary proclamation - the angels visit the Shepards at night, and they show up shining bright! The ordinary men have the type of reaction that ordinary men do. They were filled with great fear. In this moment, they get to see the angels, and they recognize that they are in the presence of Godly power. Our smallness becomes very real to us, because of who we are in the presence of. So, we are afraid. But in every case, they say “Don’t be afraid.” This is because in order to save us, our savior has arrived. And how do they find Him? In an ordinary context. In a manger. In swaddling cloths. Not fine linen or palaces. When you receive this good news, what do you do? What did the Shepards do? They moved - they went to go see. To move closer to this child! They moved closer to Jesus. They come to see, singing praises to God. And when they leave, they go and tell others what they have seen! Sermon Date: 10/13/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford Luke 2:1-7 .

God’s Assurance - l when the lord speaks, you can be sure. The process of going through a birth in old age, as Elizabeth, would be hard. But John’s birth shows that we can be sure of God making good on his Word. God’s birth is a reminder that when He speaks, we can be sure. God’s Mercy - It's written that He “Magnified His mercy” for her. The Lord is making his own mercy bigger in Elizabeth’s life, by giving her this promised child. God’s mercy in our life helps us to recognize the mercy He has given us. Make room in your life for this mercy. Magnify God in your soul for making you an heir to the Kingdom of God! God’s Authority - in Jewish customs, it was not normal to name a child after random name, but rather someone in the family. But they submit to God’s authority over them, and choose the name John. The family’s response would be “who is John! We don’t have a single John in our family.” Don’t miss the fact that they received a promise for God, and almost immediately there’s the pressure to compromise in this divine commission! But when the Lord calls us, we should be willing to follow. Our own desires on this earth is not as important as our calling from God. God’s Worth - as soon as Zachariah’s mouth was unlocked, he began to adore, praise and speak prophesy. The very first praise offered is not for his son, John, but for Jesus to come. Any blessing we receive for God is to be used in service to God. And Zachariah prophesied that John comes to prepare the way for Jesus, who saves the world through the tender mercy of our God. Even in the midst of hardship or discipline, when we come out and open our mouths, the first thing we say can be praise for his mighty worth.

Any blessing we receive for God is to be used in service to God. And Zachariah prophesied that John comes to prepare the way for Jesus, who saves the world through the tender mercy of our God. Even in the midst of hardship or discipline, when we come out and open our mouths, the first thing we say can be praise for his mighty worth.

We look at Mary’s song of praise today, upon receiving her assignment as carrying the savior. it contains: Praise for goods might, mercy and faithfulness. Might - May begins her song with “My soul magnifies the Lord…” Mary is not magnifing the lord to attempt to make him greater - but rather greater in her own heart. Sometimes when we don’t understand what’s happening in our lives, we diminish Him. How can God choose me? How can He have the power to make a barren womb bring forth Life? Even though Mary cannot see the future, she believes. Her praise is for what God is able to do, and to do the impossible. When was the last time you paused to give God praise because of who He is, rather than something He’s done for you? But God doesn’t just deserve praise for what He’s done in the past, or what He’s done for you. But for what He’s done for the future as well Mercy - we see a shift in her song from praise of God’s might in her life, but His mercy for everyone! Mary’s song is a reminder that God’s mercy is free - not earned - to those who fear Him. No matter what you’ve done, those who have reverence for God, His mercy is always available. God’s ability to a give mercy, always rises to our need for mercy, and always surpasses it. Jesus died because He was merciful. Faithful - Mary’s song continued to praise for His Faithfulness. Her actions and life are part of a much larger stories - of promises made and promises kept. The song celebrates His unchanging faithfulness! She saw that God’s promise to Abraham was being fulfilled through the child in her womb. Faithfulness is recognizing that our lives are part of God’s plan. The Joys and the Pains. All parts. Praising God without knowing the end of a thing is trust in His faithfulness. Jesus is the fulfillment of every promise and every hope. And our God has never failed, and never will. How do we joint the chorus alongside Mary? We begin as Mary did - My soul magnifies the Lord. And this is not Mary telling her soul to make God bigger; but rather making God bigger in her life and heart. She’s pushing aside any fear or lack of understanding. So we must as well to magnify Him.

Sermon Notes - Sept 22 Mary is one of the most fiercely debated characters in the Bible. So, who is Mary and what is her story? This is the second conception story in Luke. The first is John the Baptist. So, we can see the importance of Mary by comparing both Johns birth, and Jesus' birth. We will analyze them through Comparison, Condition and Calling. Comparison - Elizabeth and Zachariah are old and without children. Mary and Joseph are young. Elizabeth and Zachariah lived in the city, Mary and Joseph live in the middle of nowhere. Yet, both are visited by Gabriel. In the face of the impossible, they will both conceive. One child will prepare the way for the savior, the other is the savior! Our backgrounds are not a prerequisite for our use by God. We often think - Do I have the minimum prerequisite to be used by God? The only requisite is God Himself. Conditions - Mary is a virgin (betrothed to Joseph), Elizabeth is barren. Betrothal in this time is very different than what we expect. It was legally binding, and any sexual conduct would be considered cheating. And for all intents and purposes they are considered husband and wife. The accusations of adultly could bring extreme problems in Mary's life. But God provides the protection for her. We also see the trinity in this work! God the father, and the Holy Spirit bringing about the Son in Mary. “Greetings oh favored one” is a statement of grace from Gabriel to Mary. Mary is the recipient of God’s unexpected and overwhelming grace. Mary’s not the mother of Grace, but the Daughter of Grace. Not because she is perfect, but because God is! When angels show up, they often elicit a response of fear - but take notice of her response. It’s not Gabriel’s presence that troubles Mary. But Gabriel’s words. What’s so special about me? But, she is favored - not because she’s great, but because God is! Calling - the angel gives Elizabeth and Zachariah a name for their son, and Gabriel gives Mary and Joseph a name as well. These names mean things. In Jesus' name, we hear his eternal purpose. “Yahweh saves.” God sent his Son, so that we would have access to adoption by the Father for all eternity. The angel also declares his future - “he will be great… and he will reign forever… and of his kingdom there will be no end!" The mentioning of David is important in this text, because He is fulfilling promises made during David’s time. God raised up David’s line, and birthed a kingdom that lasts forever. And all of that is wrapped up in Gabriel’s promise to Mary. Fear not, in Christ, there is being established a forever kingdom. In Christ, we will know eternal joy, eternal peace, eternal gladness, and eternal presence, with the Lord. A kingdom with no end. And why are these two wombs are sprouting forth life when they ought not to - because nothing is impossible with God. Barren wombs and virgin wombs will give birth, and those who were abandoned and left for dead, will be adopted into our family: because nothing is impossible for God! How should we respond? Like Mary. This is what set her apart and makes her special - “Behold, I am the servant to the Lord.” Her Obedience as a Daughter of Grace.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . This passage begins concerning childbirth, but not the birth you would expect. The couple love God, but had trouble conceiving. Luke makes his point early on - even the best of us, aren’t excused from the highest of pains. This couple had high lineage, high standards of righteousness, but also were experiencing the highest of pain. But even in that pain; God is with us, and has not abandoned us. And the plan He has outlined for his children, will still be accomplished by His children. This child was birthed with great pain, great grief, but great purpose. On the week that Zachariah was supposed to be tending the temple with his group, this birth is happening. Also, Zachariah is chosen by lot from 1800 for a super special cleaning of the altar - a once in a lifetime event for Zachariah. So, all of this is happening at once, showing that God is at work filling His redemptive purposes even when Zachariah and his wife thought that God had abandoned them. But, God was working, even when they thought He left them alone. God also uses this moment to show Zachariah that this birth would be powerful. Not only has his prayer been heard, but his son would be the John, the cousin of Christ! And he would make the way ready for Christ’s coming. Zachariah’s answered prayer is not just for them, BUT, for everyone that would be blessed through his child. This child would pave the way for the king of king, the lord of lords, the prince of peace! His assignment will bring joy to many homes! Zachariah and Elizabeth had no idea that this is happening. All they wanted is just a son. A child to bring them joy. See, the delay was not because they have been forgotten, but their prayers were rather answered with the framework of God’s eternal, redemptive work. You may be praying for something, but is your answer along the way to the fulfillment of His grand redemptive purposes? Zachariah responded, “how shall I know this? For I am an old man…” and the angel answers “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent here to give a message to you.” And because he disbelieved, he struck Zachariah mute until his child was born. This is a man who has lived his whole life, asking these questions. And when Gabriel shows up, of course it makes sense that in his grief, being told “no” for so long, after enduring the disappointment and even rumors within their own community about their own lives, that Zachariah has questions within his human nature. “Have you looked at us? We’re old, and have been asking for a LONG time. Are you sure you got the right people?” Sometimes, when God shows up, a little doubt shows up with Him. God answers not just according to purpose, but to promise. Delay is not denial, but to make sure that we stay on the direction of His grand plan. Even in striking Zachariah mute, it is for his sanctification. God is always growing and teaching us along the way. So he goes home, and God gives them a child. He has not forgotten you. He’s just got to get us to our destination first. Sermon Text: Luke 1: 5-7 Sermon Date: 9/15/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford .

See, the delay was not because they have been forgotten, but their prayers were rather answered with the framework of God’s eternal, redemptive work. You may be praying for something, but is your answer along the way to the fulfillment of His grand redemptive purposes? Zachariah responded, “how shall I know this? For I am an old man…” and the angel answers “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent here to give a message to you.” And because he disbelieved, he struck Zachariah mute until his child was born. This is a man who has lived his whole life, asking these questions. And when Gabriel shows up, of course it makes sense that in his grief, being told “no” for so long, after enduring the disappointment and even rumors within their own community about their own lives, that Zachariah has questions within his human nature. “Have you looked at us? We’re old, and have been asking for a LONG time. Are you sure you got the right people?” Sometimes, when God shows up, a little doubt shows up with Him. God answers not just according to purpose, but to promise. Delay is not denial, but to make sure that we stay on the direction of His grand plan. Even in striking Zachariah mute, it is for his sanctification. God is always growing and teaching us along the way. So he goes home, and God gives them a child. He has not forgotten you. He’s just got to get us to our destination first. Sermon Text: Luke 1: 5-7 Sermon Date: 9/15/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford .

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . This passage begins concerning childbirth, but not the birth you would expect. The couple love God, but had trouble conceiving. Luke makes his point early on - even the best of us, aren’t excused from the highest of pains. This couple had high lineage, high standards of righteousness, but also were experiencing the highest of pain. But even in that pain; God is with us, and has not abandoned us. And the plan He has outlined for his children, will still be accomplished by His children. This child was birthed with great pain, great grief, but great purpose. On the week that Zachariah was supposed to be tending the temple with his group, this birth is happening. Also, Zachariah is chosen by lot from 1800 for a super special cleaning of the altar - a once in a lifetime event for Zachariah. So, all of this is happening at once, showing that God is at work filling His redemptive purposes even when Zachariah and his wife thought that God had abandoned them. But, God was working, even when they thought He left them alone. God also uses this moment to show Zachariah that this birth would be powerful. Not only has his prayer been heard, but his son would be the John, the cousin of Christ! And he would make the way ready for Christ’s coming. Zachariah’s answered prayer is not just for them, BUT, for everyone that would be blessed through his child. This child would pave the way for the king of king, the lord of lords, the prince of peace! His assignment will bring joy to many homes! Zachariah and Elizabeth had no idea that this is happening.

Sermon Notes - Sept 8, 2024 Luke 1:1-4 (the greatest story ever told) What makes the Gospel of Luke different from any other Gospel? Sometimes, there is a sense in which we don’t know which part of the Bible is real, or which part is metaphor/exaggeration. Verses one 1-4 tell us that this whole thing is real, and grounded in reality. The Gospel of Luke is intended to be believed. Who is Luke? He's mentioned several places through the New Testament, and these places tell us about who he is. “Luke, the beloved, physician” (from Colossians) - he’s a beloved friend of of Paul, he’s a Gentile, and a Physician. He would seem to be the only disciple of gentile background. Luke wrote 2 books: Acts, and Luke. Additionally, in 2nd Timothy, it's written that “Luke alone is with me.” At Paul’s end, he was there with his beloved friend. He was the only non-Jew to write some of the major books of the Bible. And he is close friends with one of the most important figures in the Bible. So, he’s SEEN STUFF! Luke is not writing as a man who is writing and hoping he’s right. He’s a Doctor. And physician. His writing is based on facts. Evidence. His writings actually seem to be written in the style of other physicians at the time. His books are literally “Investigative Journalism.” Why is all of this so important? Because the Christian faith is one not void of evidence. The Christian faith is not fantasy or mystical. It’s rooted in evidence and history. The word, “accomplished” that he uses in these verses, is important. Luke is writing to show us, in his writings, that Christ is the fulfillment of prophecy from old - centuries past. Luke also shows us that our faith is grounded in facts by including eyewitnesses. Christianity does not try to place itself outside of the confines of history. Luke takes a lot of effort to ground his writings in history. He uses historical figures and events to ground happenings in our faith. There are eyewitnesses that people could go back and check out. We also find details in Luke’s Gospels that aren’t in other gospels - because he did investigative journalism. Ultimately, we have 12 disciples who once ran scared from Christs Death, and suddenly changed their mind... and now they're willing to die for the story they were telling. What happened? They saw Him. They saw Christ. They ate and spoke with a risen savior. They placed their fingers in the holes of His wounds. And Luke was there to see it all happen. Luke is writing to show us that we can be certain that what he is writing, we can trust. And we can read and trust his writings today.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Sermon Notes: Sept 1st, 2024 Ephesians 6:18-20 These last few weeks, we covered the Armor of God, and while many would read this and feel ready for spiritual warfare, Paul asks for prayer… for help. Let that sink in. We go against an enemy who attacks us in numbers, and power to speak against our heart and mind constantly. we need daily and constant reminders of the love our God has or us. We need every piece of this armor. All of these pieces of armor highlight someone not standing with their own power but it paints the picture of one standing in the power of another - God. So, Paul asks for prayer - for us to pray for everyone and everything! And Paul asks for the Church in Ephesus to pray for him. There are three things we can see that Paul is asking for us to pray for: persistence, power and the scope of our prayer. Persistence - Paul says to pray at all times Power - Paul says to pray in the spirit. Scope - Paul says to pray for each other and the spread of the gospel. Persistence - at all times. As Paul explains the entire parts of the armor, he immediately explains we should be praying at all times. Paul often says that we should pray without ceasing and be steadfast in prayer. We should live with intentional, mindful and regular prayer. We should be quick to bring every kind of joy, concern, and every sorrow before the lord. The enemy is relentless, so we should be relentless as well. If the enemy of our soul is not taking a day off, we shouldn’t either. Even in moments of peace, we should continually remain in prayer, so that we’re staying in communication with our general, so that when the enemy attacks again, we are fully ready to take His commands and obey them in this war. Power - pray in the spirit - not a reference to speaking in tongues, it rather speaking under the guidance and influence of the Holy Spirit. To pray in the spirit is to pray that God, by his spirit and by his word would align our hearts and our prayers with his will. It’s not about asking what we want, but asking what God desires. This passage of the armor of God does not highlight readiness, BUT RATHER, our weakness. We are dependent on God. Also, it’s our position in God. He is our Father. We can ask our father for deeply intimate things without fear. We should boldly make big requests. Our ability to make these requests come from us being sons and daughters of the creator of the universe. Whether or not what we ask for is Gods will, we should still ask! We are all too familiar with our weakness, and we are careful to stay in our place, but we should not cast off our confidence in God’s power in an effort to remain in our place. Scope - pray with all prayer and supplication for all the saints. This call to prayer is not a singular event, call to pray for everything. Adoration - Praising God for who He is. Confession of sin. Thanksgiving. Supplication - what we want. Lament - sharing our doubts, and sorrows and fears. Paul also calls for perseverance. Engaging the community around you. Be consistently in contact with your brothers and sisters so you know how to pray for them. Pray as an intercessor. And lastly Paul asks the community in Ephesus to pray for him. As I look at this passage in Ephesians, I don’t see my strengths, I instead see my weaknesses. Perhaps, we should too. #churchservice #armorofgod #spiritualwarfare #christianity #faith #divineprotection #spiritualawareness #ephesians6 #ephesians #righteousness #Justice #culturewar #glorifygod #makingadifference #faithandfreedom Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:18-20 Sermon Date: 9/01/2024 Speaker: Corey Deyamport .

Even in moments of peace, we should continually remain in prayer, so that we’re staying in communication with our general, so that when the enemy attacks again, we are fully ready to take His commands and obey them in this war. Power - pray in the spirit - not a reference to speaking in tongues, it rather speaking under the guidance and influence of the Holy Spirit. To pray in the spirit is to pray that God, by his spirit and by his word would align our hearts and our prayers with his will. It’s not about asking what we want, but asking what God desires. This passage of the armor of God does not highlight readiness, BUT RATHER, our weakness. We are dependent on God. Also, it’s our position in God. He is our Father. We can ask our father for deeply intimate things without fear. We should boldly make big requests. Our ability to make these requests come from us being sons and daughters of the creator of the universe. Whether or not what we ask for is Gods will, we should still ask! We are all too familiar with our weakness, and we are careful to stay in our place, but we should not cast off our confidence in God’s power in an effort to remain in our place. Scope - pray with all prayer and supplication for all the saints. This call to prayer is not a singular event, call to pray for everything. Adoration - Praising God for who He is. Confession of sin. Thanksgiving. Supplication - what we want. Lament - sharing our doubts, and sorrows and fears. Paul also calls for perseverance. Engaging the community around you. Be consistently in contact with your brothers and sisters so you know how to pray for them. Pray as an intercessor. And lastly Paul asks the community in Ephesus to pray for him. As I look at this passage in Ephesians, I don’t see my strengths, I instead see my weaknesses. Perhaps, we should too. #churchservice #armorofgod #spiritualwarfare #christianity #faith #divineprotection #spiritualawareness #ephesians6 #ephesians #righteousness #Justice #culturewar #glorifygod #makingadifference #faithandfreedom Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:18-20 Sermon Date: 9/01/2024 Speaker: Corey Deyamport .

Sermon Notes: Sept 1st, 2024 Ephesians 6:18-20 These last few weeks, we covered the Armor of God, and while many would read this and feel ready for spiritual warfare, Paul asks for prayer… for help. Let that sink in. We go against an enemy who attacks us in numbers, and power to speak against our heart and mind constantly. we need daily and constant reminders of the love our God has or us. We need every piece of this armor. All of these pieces of armor highlight someone not standing with their own power but it paints the picture of one standing in the power of another - God. So, Paul asks for prayer - for us to pray for everyone and everything! And Paul asks for the Church in Ephesus to pray for him. There are three things we can see that Paul is asking for us to pray for: persistence, power and the scope of our prayer. Persistence - Paul says to pray at all times Power - Paul says to pray in the spirit. Scope - Paul says to pray for each other and the spread of the gospel. Persistence - at all times. As Paul explains the entire parts of the armor, he immediately explains we should be praying at all times. Paul often says that we should pray without ceasing and be steadfast in prayer. We should live with intentional, mindful and regular prayer. We should be quick to bring every kind of joy, concern, and every sorrow before the lord. The enemy is relentless, so we should be relentless as well. If the enemy of our soul is not taking a day off, we shouldn’t either. Even in moments of peace, we should continually remain in prayer, so that we’re staying in communication with our general, so that when the enemy attacks again, we are fully ready to take His commands and obey them in this war.

Aug 25, 2024 Sermon Notes Ephesians 6:17 If you can’t protect your head, you can’t protect anything. The Roman helm was mostly carried, and not worn at all times. Putting on the helm typically marked the beginning of battle. When the lord saves you, it’s this point in your life which the battle actually begins. The helm of salvation is to protect your mind. Satan often begins his attacks on us (attempting to poison our souls) by attacking our thoughts, and by attempting to diminish what we think about salvation. Salvation is protection from our past - Satan will attempt to deploy our past to get us to doubt. “No way God can save you or someone like you, given everything behind you.” “Your salvation is not real.” “Eventually you’ll go back.” However, in the midst of our lives, when we wear the helm, we are to remind ourselves of the truth of the Gospel - there is therefore now, no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Your union with Christ frees us from our past. Salvation is protection from present - we will be pressed in our life that we cannot be free from sin. But, we now have the mind to say no. Before Christ, we couldn’t say no. The work of salvation has freed us from sins power. Now we have the power to say no. And we should say no. Instead of looking at sin; look at the one who freed us. Remind yourself - in Christs death, I have been freed from sin, and Christ died to free me from it. Salvation is protection for the future - we are bombarded by the weight of what think we will encounter in the future. Why should we care when everything seems so terrible around us? Salvation introduces hope to our lives. We are walking toward an expected end. A joyous end! We wage war in our thoughts by reminding ourselves of what we have received by our Salvation in Christ Jesus! Lastly, we are given a Sword of the Spirit - which is the word of God. The only offensive weapon we have in our toolkit. The word used here is closer akin to a dagger, implying a close combat. Oftentimes God is described as his “word” as a weapon which dispenses justice. But in this verse; the “word” means “the proclaimed word.” Which means the Gospel. The good news. This sword is the weapon we wield to free others from the clutches of Satan. When we peach the truth to others, and use the sword of the spirit, we are fighting against the gates of hell, freeing captives.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Often times, we find ourselves trying to fight spiritual wars with a lack of faith. Paul opens this text by telling us “in ALL circumstances, take up the shield of faith.” The life and walk of a Christian is a faith walk. And Satan's goal is to send a barrage of doubts to a believer. These doubts are an attack on our faith and directly upon what Jesus says for us to say "yes" to, or all the things He tells us to say "no" to as well. Paul talks about the idea of a shield - in Rome, the shield they would use was so big, the root word here actually means “door.” This shield is made of wood, but is covered in leather that metal wrapped around the shield. 4 feet tall, 2.5 feet wide. Additionally, they dip it in water. This is interesting, the soldiers are blocking flaming arrows, these arrows are covered in oil, and the water dipped shield helps extinguish this flaming oil. Faith is the commitment, trust and reliance on Christ, by which we are saved. Interestingly enough, we often say that faith is the ability to “say” a certain set of facts. Faith is not just the facts we believe. But rather what we believe in Jesus. Faith is acting and living like God is telling us the truth. This is the faith we must put on display when Satan sends fiery darts our way to destroy our shields. Holding up the shield of faith is supreme reliance and trust on God. Holding up this shield shapes the actions in our life. When we believe in a leader; we will trust their directions, even when it makes no sense to us. If we trust, we obey. Faith is tied directly to activity. When we move contrary to God’s command, we’re not losing our salvation, but we are putting our shields down while we’re fighting Satan. Unfortunately, Satan is stronger than us. Take caution with these words, however - Faith is not an exemption card from suffering. The faithful suffer too. Instead, faith is the act of relinquishing control to the Lord, come what may. Remember that the disciples walked in faith, and most of them were martyred brutally. Lastly, this shield, is massive and sturdy. But Paul would know that the Ephesians would know, that the Roman centurions would never fight alone. They were in formation, with their shields locked and pushing forward. When used this way, this shield becomes a tool of offense, AND this tool becomes even more powerful when used in community. In every single instance when we take our armor up, we take it up with Christ and with the community around us. So, when one brother is weak, we protect those in community with us. Encouraging, reminding, caring for one another continuously. This faith is not one in which you are to walk alone - but to walk in community.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . Aug 11th. sermon notes Ephesians 6:15 With the right shoes, they will support your whole body! Paul has the same idea in this passage. This particular piece of armor he highlights are the shoes which are the readiness given by the gospel of peace. We Christians in warfare cannot stand upright without the right footwear. The shoes that we wear, actually matter! We can break down this passage to see what he means by this: Readiness - to stand in preparation to deliver the gospel. The shoes imply a journey and movement. Part of your warfare is ongoing readiness to take something somewhere. And that something is the gospel - the good news - of Christ. Having the shoes on, means we are always ready for when the battle comes. We’re always ready to point people to the gospel of peace. Readiness “given by the gospel (aka - the good news)” - these shoes refer to not just readiness, BUT readiness to bring good news of happiness and peace. The gospel is not the gospel if you’re only talking about the bad. The gospel does not overemphasize the bad news, but it also does not focus on only the good news either! So, you must be ready to spread the good news of happiness and joy and peace, so that others experience it when they walk with you! Readiness given by the gospel of "peace" - what does Paul have in mind when he highlights the “good news of peace”? In Ephesians 2:11, he mentions the gentiles were alienated and separated from relationship from God before Christ. We were at odds with God - enemies. But Christ came and preached peace, and through Him, He established peace between each, one another, and God. When He went to the cross on our behalf, He made peace with God on our behalf! Throughout this text, Paul is calling us to wage war against principalities and forces of evil? And HOW is he calling us? With peace. And what kind of peace? A reconciling peace. A peace between us and others and peace between men and God. We too easily engage in cultural war in our day and age. And we should be careful to not confuse spiritual warfare with the cultural war. If we’re not careful to fight with God’s armor, we will wind up fighting FOR SATAN! We cannot wear our own armor, and fight for God. If we’re not a people of peace and reconciliation, then we’re waging war for satan, not for God. And the sad part is we will make this mistake and call it spiritual warfare, when it’s absolutely not. If you’re going to fight this fight - you have to put on the right shoes. The wrong shoes can impact your spiritual walk. #churchservice #armorofgod #spiritualwarfare #christianity #faith #divineprotection #spiritualawareness #ephesians6 #ephesians #righteousness #Justice #righteousness #culturewar #glorifygod #makingadifference #faithandfreedom Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:15 Sermon Date: 8/11/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford .

Aug 11th. sermon notes Ephesians 6:15 With the right shoes, they will support your whole body! Paul has the same idea in this passage. This particular piece of armor he highlights are the shoes which are the readiness given by the gospel of peace. We Christians in warfare cannot stand upright without the right footwear. The shoes that we wear, actually matter! We can break down this passage to see what he means by this: Readiness - to stand in preparation to deliver the gospel. The shoes imply a journey and movement. Part of your warfare is ongoing readiness to take something somewhere. And that something is the gospel - the good news - of Christ. Having the shoes on, means we are always ready for when the battle comes. We’re always ready to point people to the gospel of peace.

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . In our text, Paul uses words in the past tense. He's urging us to have already put on the tools to make warfare against the devil when he attacks. One should stay ready so one doesn’t have to get ready. We should live lives of truth - not when our backs are against the wall, but when we’re living in the easy time. We put on the breastplate of righteousness during time of ease. Righteousness is not something you put on when it’s time to fight: but it’s armor to wear during our daily life. What does righteousness mean when we speak of the "Breastplate of Righteousness? It is “The quality of state of being righteous.” And righteousness is the act of being "just.” So, righteousness is “living justly honestly and faithfully with others, God, and God’s creation.” There are actually two kinds of righteousness - practical righteousness, and positional righteousness. In positional righteousness, one man’s disobedience, Adam, took us away from our home, Eden. One man’s righteousness, Christ, paid the price for us to get access back home. (And through Him, Christ has satisfied Gods righteousness for you.) We gain this righteousness through our faith. It’s not about what we have done, but what was done for us. So, what kind of righteousness is Paul talking about in this verse?: practical. Our ability to live rightly with God and mankind - to walk in the light according to God’s instruction. When we talk about righteousness as a tool of war, what do the trenches look like? When God calls you to operate in the world, He’s asking you to run counter to everything we’ve been taught about warfare. Pursue right, good and justice when we wage war in the heart of conflict. Why is this? Because this kind of warfare is not typical… but it honors God, and can turn our enemy's hearts. This kind of warfare preserves the soul. Remember that Satan’s main goal is to disrupt our faith and poison our soul. So, by operating in righteousness in warfare, we preserve our heart and soul. When you are in a moment when you can choose to forgive or not to forgive - you are in a battle with Satan. When you harden up, you leave yourself open for more attacks from Satan. Anytime we say “I know God calls me to forgive, BUT…” Satan has won a battle against us. What about freedom? Our culture usually defines the absence of boundaries as freedom. But righteousness moves us to say “no” to what we want, but to honor God with our choices. During the context of freedom, we will face battles and the lies of Satan are on full display. You are also at war with selfishness. Our call is to do good by others and creation. It’s easy for us to turn off when others need help or harm us. It’s easy for us to let go of our concern for others and continue watching the next episode on whatever show we’re watching. But that is our warfare. When Satan lies to us to become complacent, he takes us out of the trenches where we should be - where God calls us to be! To stop doing good leaves a gaping hole in the armor God has given us to protect us and our soul. So how do we stay ready? Be strong in His righteousness! Look back to your savior when we are tired and exhausted of doing good and being just. And His love toward us is inexhaustible, even when we fail to follow Him. Christ has given us tools to wage war - let us use our armor not just when our backs are against the wall, but every day! #churchservice #armorofgod #spiritualwarfare #christianity #spiritualbattles #faith #divineprotection #spiritualawareness #ephesians6 #ephesians #righteousness #Justice #righteous Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:14 Sermon Date: 8/04/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford .

Check us out at: https://citylightvicksburg.org/ Or check us out here: https://www.facebook.com/citylightvicksburg . The last few weeks, we’ve been talking about how to live wisely as a Christian, as the days are evil. In a nutshell - do not be controlled by the created, but be controlled by the creator. Prefer others over yourselves. Living wisely is to also engage with spiritual warfare. Our greatest battles are not in the physical, but the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers. Your adversaries are not the people around you, but these spiritual authorities. The moment when you are unified with Christ, you instantly become an enemy of Satan. Spiritual warfare is bigger than physical harm. But it’s difficult to understand. Because we’re human, we see threats to our physical comfort and wellbeing as the biggest threat. Satan attacks all of those things as an attempt to poison our souls. Satan attacks your health to get you to start doubting Jesus “if I trust Him, and this is what I get… why should I continue?” He also attacks your relationships. “I have no idea why I keep forgiving people, even though I do not receive that consideration in return when I need it. Job is a wonderful example of this. Job lost just about everything in his life. But we’re told what satan was really after in the very beginning. Satan’s aim was to get Job to curse God. The poisoning of his soul. Satan desires us to say no to Jesus’s way. I will not follow His ways. At time, Satan will grant us prosperity in an attempt to poison our soul. We have an example of Jesus being led into the wilderness, and tempted with all things prosperous. But Satan’s end game is the SAME. Our greatest battles are spiritual - the poisoning of our soul. Paul’s appeal if for us to be strong in this world, yes, BUT to be strong in spirit, in God as well! Your survival depends on not just your health, but being committed to the Way and will of Jesus, no matter how much that Way runs up against the way the world and satan works. Your daily fight is to stay connected to Jesus. That is spiritual warfare. Paul tells us how to stand - take up the whole armor of God. The reason to do so, is to STAND. You are standing next to the King, wearing His armor, standing against Satan’s attempts on drawing you in. A resilient stand with God is what Paul has in mind here. The first piece of armor - “fastened on the belt of truth.” There’s 2 types of imagery possible here. the Roman soldier. The belt for the Roman soldier is an article that held things together. They do not speak to glamor, but to preparedness. And Truth, is the means by which we are prepared. (Because the purpose of the armor - is to stand against the Schemes of the Devil). And the best way to stand against the lies of the devil - to be prepared with Truth. When Satan’s lies tells us “you tried it God’s way, and look how horrible you feel?” You will be prepared with the truth - “The suffering of the present times is not worth the Glory to be revealed to us.” We combat the lies of Satan by living in a state of preparedness with the Truth. Paul tells us to stand next to Jesus, wearing the armor, and to stand on Truth. Without Truth, believes can be attacked and be weakened, because a piece of the armor is missing. The other image that Paul has for the belt of Truth - the belt of Faithfulness the messiah wears in Isaiah is the same word that’s translated Truth in Ephesians. Thus, the belt of truth the believer wears is a part of the same armor Christ wears and is an example of our union with God and being “one with the Lord.” #churchservice #armorofgod #spiritualwarfare #christianity #spiritualbattles #faith #divineprotection #spiritualawareness Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:10-14 Sermon Date: 7/28/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford .

Prefer others over yourselves. Living wisely is to also engage with spiritual warfare. Our greatest battles are not in the physical, but the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers. Your adversaries are not the people around you, but these spiritual authorities. The moment when you are unified with Christ, you instantly become an enemy of Satan. Spiritual warfare is bigger than physical harm. But it’s difficult to understand. Because we’re human, we see threats to our physical comfort and wellbeing as the biggest threat. Satan attacks all of those things as an attempt to poison our souls. Satan attacks your health to get you to start doubting Jesus “if I trust Him, and this is what I get… why should I continue?” He also attacks your relationships. “I have no idea why I keep forgiving people, even though I do not receive that consideration in return when I need it. Job is a wonderful example of this. Job lost just about everything in his life. But we’re told what satan was really after in the very beginning. Satan’s aim was to get Job to curse God. The poisoning of his soul. Satan desires us to say no to Jesus’s way. I will not follow His ways. At time, Satan will grant us prosperity in an attempt to poison our soul. We have an example of Jesus being led into the wilderness, and tempted with all things prosperous. But Satan’s end game is the SAME. Our greatest battles are spiritual - the poisoning of our soul. Paul’s appeal if for us to be strong in this world, yes, BUT to be strong in spirit, in God as well! Your survival depends on not just your health, but being committed to the Way and will of Jesus, no matter how much that Way runs up against the way the world and satan works. Your daily fight is to stay connected to Jesus. That is spiritual warfare. Paul tells us how to stand - take up the whole armor of God. The reason to do so, is to STAND. You are standing next to the King, wearing His armor, standing against Satan’s attempts on drawing you in. A resilient stand with God is what Paul has in mind here. The first piece of armor - “fastened on the belt of truth.” There’s 2 types of imagery possible here. the Roman soldier. The belt for the Roman soldier is an article that held things together. They do not speak to glamor, but to preparedness. And Truth, is the means by which we are prepared. (Because the purpose of the armor - is to stand against the Schemes of the Devil). And the best way to stand against the lies of the devil - to be prepared with Truth. When Satan’s lies tells us “you tried it God’s way, and look how horrible you feel?” You will be prepared with the truth - “The suffering of the present times is not worth the Glory to be revealed to us.” We combat the lies of Satan by living in a state of preparedness with the Truth. Paul tells us to stand next to Jesus, wearing the armor, and to stand on Truth. Without Truth, believes can be attacked and be weakened, because a piece of the armor is missing. The other image that Paul has for the belt of Truth - the belt of Faithfulness the messiah wears in Isaiah is the same word that’s translated Truth in Ephesians. Thus, the belt of truth the believer wears is a part of the same armor Christ wears and is an example of our union with God and being “one with the Lord.” #churchservice #armorofgod #spiritualwarfare #christianity #spiritualbattles #faith #divineprotection #spiritualawareness Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:10-14 Sermon Date: 7/28/2024 Speaker: Brian Crawford .

Just after talking about family, Paul talks about how to fight, by making sure to not commit to actions that would cause us to be rash, or drunk. But rather, be filled with the spirit in our fight. Paul urges us to be strong in the Lord, and in His might. “Armor” in this passage, contains not just armor, but weapons as well. We’re not just talking about being a good Christian, but an ongoing battle against principalities and forces of darkness. The armor of God has six pieces: Belt of truth - honesty. Believers can point out the lies of Satan. Breastplate of Righteousness- protects the heart and organs. When the devil tries to bring up our past sins, we can be certain of our forgiveness. Shoes of the gospel of peace - when faced with fear, we remain steady and confident. Shield of faith - faith acts as a protective barrier against attacks of the enemy. Helmet of salvation - assurance of salvation provides confidence and assurance. Sword of spirit - the only offensive piece in the "Armor." By weirding scripture, we can counter the devils and evil’s attacks. The Lord has equipped us with divine armor, no matter what happens. We have the Lord fighting for us even as we making our stand. But, why do we receive such covering? Because we have an adversary who comes only to steal, kill and destroy; and God’s heart is for us to be with Him. #churchservice #armorofgod #spiritualwarfare Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:10-20 Sermon Date: 7/14/2024 Speaker: Corey Deyamport Fights in the Christian faith are not just physical, but emotional, and spiritual warfare.
