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?

Signs of Jesus’Kingdom

Luke 8:22-56 (reading 22-39)

1. Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God (8:1)

2. He does miracles along the way
..8:22-25 – restoring order in nature
..8:26-39 – restoring an exiled Gentile
..8:43-48 – restoring an excluded woman
..8:40-42, 49-56 – restoring life in a place of death

Jesus and Faith

Jesus Changes Us (Luke 6:12-49)

Jesus Changes Us

Luke 6:12-49

Followers of Jesus build on firm foundations (46-49)

We expect to change…

  • in what we value (20-26)
  • in how we love (27-36)
  • in how we view others (37-42)

It is a change that begins in our heart (43-45)

How firm are your foundations?

Jesus Changes Everything (Luke 5:33-6:11)

Jesus Changes Everything

Luke 5:33-6:11

Luke’s orderly account has shown Jesus’ authority, his compassion, his purpose…

Now Luke includes three incidents that show growing opposition to Jesus

  • the question of fasting and a parable (5:33-39)
  • picking grain on the Sabbath (6:1-5)
  • healing on the Sabbath (6:6-11)

Can you see that Jesus changes everything?

But opposition to Jesus continues!
