    The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 14:15-24 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 14:15-24 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    In His story, Jesus is rebuking those who are making excuses. Instead of simply admitting they don’t want to come, they justify their lack of response. Most excuses are phony. The excuses Jesus describes here are no exception.  

    All those invited gave excuses for not attending the banquet celebration. All the excuses were supposedly valid in that they were occupied with legitimate concerns, but unfortunately, they gave those concerns priority over God and His kingdom. 

    There is always an excuse we can make for not being about the things of God. Those who hear the good news must accept it and enter the reception hall, if not they have rejected the invitation.  

    Excuses are an attempt to justify our self and remain innocent before God. God’s gift to us in Jesus Christ on the Cross is not innocence, but a removing of the responsibility for our sin and guilt from us. When I accept responsibly for my sin and call on the name of Jesus, there is forgiveness and the ability to move forward.  

    To live without excuses is to accept our fallibility. I can confess my failure because I have the security of being loved and forgiven by God Himself. 

    Will you do just that today?  


    Will you stop making excuses?  


    Will you stop trying to justify yourself for not following Jesus?  


    Will you accept His invitation and participate in His calling?

    The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 14:7-14 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 14:7-14 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    The word humility appears various times throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. Where we read about humility, we see that this trait is something God desires for His people. Humility is beneficial for us, for God, and for those around us. There is no verbatim definition given in Scripture like we would find in a dictionary. However, through the word’s usage, we can glean a good understanding.

    The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 14:1-6 | Pastor Andrew Sherman

    Jesus was always pointing people to the Father. In this short passage He does that by explaining that it is more important to take compassion on others than it is to obey man's laws.

    The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 13:31-35 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    The Gospel According to Luke | Luke 13:31-35 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    As is so often the case, a good thing can be perverted and end up causing great harm.  

    This can be true of compassion when it is misunderstood and misapplied. Christians can often forget that while compassion towards people is warranted, compassion to various ideas, lifestyles, actions, beliefs, and worldviews is not. 

    This can also be true of standing for truth when it is brandished as a weapon against people rather than used and an invitation to draw them towards the author of truth. 

    Jesus’ truth informed compassion is not twisted or affected by the trials of culture and time. 

    OUR COMPASSION NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE JESUS’ COMPASSION

    The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 13:22-30 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 13:22-30 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    One of the most important questions any of us can ask is this. Will I be saved? Will I go to heaven? How can I know God will save me? Will I be saved when I die? Can you think of a more important question with such long-term implications? I mean, we’re talking eternity here. How do people answer?

    The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 13:18-21 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 13:18-21 | Pastor Rob Haslam

    In this passage, Luke records Jesus explaining the Kingdom of God to people. That fact that Jesus was explaining it suggests that it was something that required explaining. So, he uses common language to help people connect with the meaning of the Kingdom of God.

    JESUS WANTS HIS LISTENERS TO UNDERSTAND THE KINGDOM OF GOD

    Why would Jesus want His listeners to understand the Kingdome of God?


    Seek first His Kingdom.
    Understand the purpose of it and our role in it.
    Learn how to live in the reality of it.
