    Luke 2:41-52 ”Discover the Christ Who Is About His Father’s Business” INTRODUCTION Growing up is never easy. Each one of us has stories to tell of super highs and crashing lows.

    These two verses provide a blueprint for each of us as we seek to move toward spiritual maturity, and become like Christ. Since we are disciples of Christ, and if we are ever to become like Christ, we will need to "grow up" in these basic areas.

    Growing Up Luke 2:40, 52 As we move away from the Christmas season, we move into the uncomfortable encounters with Christ. Both Christmas and the Resurrection Season are comfortable seasons. They are seasons that emphasize grace, God’s love, and His sacrifice. But as we move into the interlude, ...read more

    Jesus comes as the Son of God so he must be about his Father’s business.

    If you were here last week you’ll remember that we talked about two sets of words that filled out the basic historical record of Jesus birth: two sets of words that told us amazing news about this child who was born 2000 years ago. Jesus was not just a beautiful baby boy. He was the Christ, ...read more

    An unusual Christmas message.

    WHERE IS YOUR “SAVING PLACE?” Luke 2:41-51 INTRO: One of the images that we can get from the Christmas season comes from the TV commercial played during the holiday season.

    We may have been saved from evil, but each of us must take care not to fall prey to foolishness.

    FOLLOWING JESUS There have been times in my life that I have made the mistake of doing things my way. I have always known to “wait on the Lord”, but there are times when we all want to do things on our own. No doubt this is one of the biggest mistakes any one of us could ever make. What we ...read more

    Losing Christ

    Just as Jesus’ parents lost him, we too can lose Christ if but only for a short time. That which we lose is that close personal relationship.

    “Finding Christ” Luke 2:41-52 (Read Text) “Finding Christ” implies that he has been or can be lost. And I want to make clear what I mean by that. I do not mean that a person can lose the grace of God once they have received it, but what a person can lose, because of their actions, is the ...read more

    I make the argument that Jesus begins to learn about His relationship to God the Father during the event when He was left in the Temple when He was 12-years-old.

     | 18,179 views

    This sermon’s purpose is to show that one cannot separate or make a distinction between having favor with God or experiencing God’s grace.

    Favour or Grace, You can’t separate the Two (Luke 2:39-52) I’ve often heard, he or she has found favour in the sight of God. For quite some time that phrase puzzled me. It puzzled me so much to the extent that I sought to found scriptural backing for such a statement. While searching ...read more

    You don’t know you misplaced something until you need it. Have you taken your fellowship with Jesus for granted?

    Misplacing Jesus Luke 2:41-52 Have you ever misplaced something? You knew you hadn’t lost it, you just could not find it. Maybe it was your wallet, a pen or your car keys.

    Once we come to Christ in faith, our relationship is secure in Him. However, it is possible to loose our fellowship with Him.

    LOSING JESUS Luke 2:41-52 INTRO. Many think the underprivileged child is the one who does not have the right kind of education or food or clothing...or perhaps one from a broken home or one whose father has been killed or imprisoned.

    Jesus’ reply to his parents reveal to us 3 things: (1)He knows His identity; (1)His heart is with God; (3)He is concerned with His Father’s business. Learn from Him.

    In those days, they travelled in caravans and relatives and whole villages often travel together and keep an eye on each other’s children. That explains why the parents lost Jesus. Joseph might have thought he was with Mary, Mary might have thought he was with one of their relatives. After ...read more
