    Yeah But...

    How do we respond when asked to follow Christ. Do we shoot out a quick "Yeah but.." ?

    Luke 9:51-62 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. ...read more

    Excuses Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Oct 2, 2010
     | 5,209 views

    We all have excuses for not responding to Jesus' call to follow him. Life is hectic, complicated and filled with items that claim our attention. We have one reason, though, to respond to Jesus' challenge--his love and grace.

    Luke 9:51-62 “Excuses” INTRODUCTION One of the most memorable illustrations that I’ve ever seen involved a glass container similar to what I have here and rocks of various sizes. Using the rocks the demonstrator underscored and important lesson in life. Just when we thought ...read more

    In Jesus Holy Name June 27, 2010 Text: Luke 9:57-58 Redeemer “Casual Discipleship…. Not an Option” Today’s message is not about “the way to heaven”. The text before is about our “walk with Jesus”. Christian discipleship. What is ...read more

    Following Christ means, among other things, putting God first and prayer

    RG/KB 27-06-2010 This morning, I would like to look at one verse from our Gospel reading – verse 59 where Jesus said: "Follow me." In Mt 16, Jesus elaborates on what he means by following him when he said: If any one would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow ...read more

    Tagging Along Or Truly Following Jesus

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,816 views

    Jesus called disciples to follow him. What did he really mean by "follow me"? Luke 9 gives us some insight.

    Martin Luther once said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.” (from Philip Gunther’s intro.) What does Jesus mean when he says, “Follow me”? We need to ask ourselves, am I just tagging along or truly following Jesus? When Jesus says to us, ...read more

     | 7,844 views

    The mission to Samaria shows us an improper response to rejection.

    Scripture Luke has come to a major turning point in The Gospel of Luke. Up until this point we have been introduced to Jesus, the Son of Man (1:1-4:13), and we have examined the ministry of Jesus (4:14-9:50), which has taken place largely in Galilee. Now, Luke shows us the rejection of Jesus ...read more

    The disciples ‘reacted’ to the behavior of the Samaritans by wanting to harm them: Bad for bad, tit-for-tat. And is it not true of us today too? But what did Jesus say to His disciples and us today about it?

    OPENING > And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his ...read more

    Too often we allow our painful past to hold us hostage to the moment of our pain. We are hurt or offended and are seriously challenged to move past the pain to a place of wholeness. It is only from a place of wellness that we can complete God's purpose
