    Evangelizing Levi And Us

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 2, 2024
     | 539 views

    The calling of Levi in Luke's Gospel informs us of a responsibility to Jesus. "Pay it forward."

    Evangelizing Levi and Us Luke 5:27-32 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz After that He went out and noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” And he left everything behind, and got up and began to follow Him. And Levi gave a big reception for ...read more

    Outcasts! Series

    In Mark 2 we meet two outcasts: a paralyzed man and Levi. Each had a decision to make that mirrors decisions that we as humans must make as well with the presence of Jesus.

    Whereas in Chapter 1 we saw Jesus, the ultimate action hero, begin his battle against the enemy, Satan, in Chapter 2 He takes the war to a new front and begins battling the religious establishment in Israel, which was just as much an impediment to entering God’s kingdom as Satan. He does this by: ...read more

    Taxes Paid Series

    What we have in this story is an account of Jesus paying tribute money. He is in Capernaum, which is His headquarters, and where he lived most of the time. The “temple tax” was collected annually, from every Jew over twenty, for the support of the templ

    -AD 29- Galilee Lesson: Taxes Paid (Exodus 30:11-15) Matthew 17:24-27 Moses is the one who began the practice of collecting taxes. He ordered that a tax should be levied against the Israelites, so much a head, to support the tabernacle. Jesus also paid tribute money, to keep from offending ...read more

    Jesus was questioned about taxes paid to Rome

    Death and Taxes Mark 12:13-27 In 1789, Benjamin Franklin said, “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency. …but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Is that statement true; nothing is certain except death and ...read more

    Are we the Pharisee or the Tax Collector?

    The Pharisee and the Publican Luke 18:9-14 Jesus had just finished His parable of the unjust judge and the persistent woman. But now He turns to address a theme He brings up frequently. Many of the parables in Luke are centered around the contrast between the person of Jesus and the Pharisees in ...read more

    The Twelve, Part 5

    This is part five of a seven-part series on Jesus’ disciples and the principles of discipleship. This message focuses on Matthew.

    One of the most interesting disciples that I have studied is Matthew or "The Tax Collector" as he is known. Just like the other twelve, Matthew will also prove that God can use anybody that He chooses to. God at times picks people that we are not sure He should pick. When God puts together a team ...read more

    Jesus came not to call the Righteous but Sinners to repentance.

    THE FEAST AT LEVI’S HOUSE. Mark 2:13-22. 1. The call of Levi (Mark 2:13-14) Wherever we live, under whatever regime, tax collectors are unpopular. It was no different in first century Israel, where Levi’s trade involved collaboration with the Romans, and the constant suspicion of theft. Levi ...read more

    Jesus heals a paralytic and eats with tax collectors.

    Mark 2:1-22 “Inside and Outside” INTRODUCTION Often times our images of heaven are peaceful and serene. The books, Heaven is for Real and Ninety Minutes in Heaven, certainly underscore this thought. Heaven is a place to be reunited with family and friends. There is no struggle ...read more

    The Radical Invitation Of Jesus, From Exclusion To Celebration Series

    In the calling of Levi, Jesus reshapes what discipleship looks like and who qualifies to be a disciple. Would we invite the "Levi's" of our day to follow Him?

    Introduction: Is Jesus “woke”? In other words, is He someone who is sensitive to or aware of the injustices experienced by the marginalized? If Jesus were walking on earth today, gathering disciples, would He do so along DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) ethical standards? Would he try to choose ...read more

    An examination of the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector

    The Exalted and the Justified Luke 18:9-14 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

    Stewardship Of A "Patchless” Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 66 ratings
     | 19,016 views

    The Pharisees lived by a "patches" theology - if they could patch over the sin in their lives, the hole didn’t exist anymore. But Christians are not called to patch our old way of life. Do you know what we’re to do instead?

    OPEN: I’ve noticed over the years that kids love jokes that are plays on words. For example, when I was a kid (now I never did this myself, you understand), but I’ve known kids who would call a neighbor and ask: “Is your refrigerator running?” (pause). When the person on the other end of the line ...read more

    Jesus showed mercy to lepers, prostitutes, adulterers and associated with people society treated as people to be avoided. Jesus sought out those who were down and out. When they met Jesus, their lives were transformed.

    There is something very gratifying about being accepted by people of high social status. If I am ever with someone with high social standing or if they have lots of clout, I am right away taken in. If my friends could see me now, I am thinking. I am easily starstruck by anyone with even a little ...read more

    We must follow God and start inviting ourselves and go out into the world and seek out others-just like Jesus and Zacchaeus sought each other out.
