Are You Seeing Jesus Clearly? (Luke 9:28-56)

ARE YOU SEEING JESUS CLEARLY?

Luke 9:28-56

1. After 14 weeks in Luke’s Gospel, are you seeing Jesus clearly?

2. The disciples show us that literally ‘seeing’ Jesus doesn’t guarantee that we truly see him.

3. A good place to start is to ‘listen to him’ (v.35)

Missing the signs of Jesus’ Kingdom (Luke 9:1-17)

Missing The Signs of Jesus’ Kingdom?

Luke 9:1-17

1. Why has Luke included this section in his Gospel?

i. Jesus commissions 12 to proclaim the kingdom (1-6)
ii. The only response Luke shares – is confused (7-9)
iii. And on their return the 12 appear no wiser (10-14)
iv. Jesus shows yet another sign of his kingdom (15-17)

2. What are we to make of this?

Preacher: Steve Blencowe
