The Inner Ring

The Gospel of Luke

May 5, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Luke 9:37–50

Give

Luke 9:37-50 // It is an incredible thing to be called to follow Jesus. But we must be careful not to equate the kingdom of God with an earthly "Inner Ring" by desiring power, position, or acceptance in the wrong way. In the gospel, we are invited to belong through simple faith like a child.

Overcoming Presumption

June 9, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Luke 11:14–36

Luke 11:14-36 // All of us are tempted to allow our presumptions of Jesus to downplay his power or his necessity. The solution to our presumption is repentance and acceptance of Jesus on his terms.

In The School Of Prayer

June 2, 2024 • Dave Becker • Luke 11:1–13

Luke 11:1-13 // In order to follow Jesus into his mission we must first follow him into the school of prayers where we learn to pray beautifully boring prayers, to pray with audacious asking, and to pray with bold belief.

The Way of Jesus

May 26, 2024 • Dave Becker • Luke 10:25–42

Luke 10:25-42 // Following in the way of Jesus as his disciples has a profound effect on our lives. The way of Jesus rejects unnecessary and false dichotomies, it reorients our worldview, it resists the tyranny of self-justification and of the urgent, and the way of Jesus reorders our priorities. Disciples of Jesus can never be the same as they once were!
