Kingdom Stewardship

The Gospel of Luke

September 15, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Luke 12:35–53

Give

Luke 12:35-53 // Seeking the kingdom has far less to do with acquisition and far more to do with stewardship. Let's look at three ways we seek the kingdom through our stewardship of this great gift: 1) stewarding our attention; 2) stewarding our power; 3) stewarding our expectations.

The Stakes of Self-Righteousness

November 17, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Luke 16:14–31

Luke 16:14-31 // Self-righteousness is not trivial thing. Similarly to idolatry and adultery, it hardens your heart towards God and leads to destruction. The way out of righteousness is to lay down our desire for self-justification and take up Christ as our help.

Becoming Shrewd Managers

November 10, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Luke 16:1–13

Luke 16:1-13 // Money has a dangerous power, calling to us for our devotion and ready to enslave us. If we give our life over to the service of money, we will despise the service of God. But if we use our money for the sake of kingdom relationships, we show a shrewdness that is commendable to God. *due to technical error, there is no recording for this sermon.

Becoming the Beloved

November 3, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Luke 15:11–32

Luke 15:11-32 // Jesus tells this story of two brothers not to highlight the horror of the sin of the younger brother, but to highlight the sin of the older brother. In order to enjoy the joy of the feast of the Father, we must lay aside the anger of self-righteousness, embrace our prodigality, and follow our older brother Jesus home.
