The Way of Jesus

The Gospel of Luke

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

Give

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!

Beware & Don't Become

June 16, 2024 • Dave Becker • Luke 11:37—12:3

Luke 11:37-12:3 // In this passage we encounter Jesus with a different tone and disposition than previously in Luke. Jesus issues six stern rebukes to the Pharisees and scribes because of their hypocrisy - in their self-righteous pursuits they have neglected the justice and love of God, and closed off the way of salvation from others. We should beware that we do not become like them by insisting on righteousness that comes from anywhere other than in Christ through the gospel.

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.
