Preparations: Faith and Reliance on Jesus for Redemption
Sunday Nov 10, 2024
Sunday Nov 10, 2024
This sermon explores Jesus' teaching in Luke 18, where he contracts the Pharisee and the tax collector to show that true righteousness comes from humanity and reliance on God's mercy, not self-righteous actions. Through the tax collector's example, we learn that recognizing our need for God's grace, rather than comparing ourselves to others or trusting in our own moral efforts, is the way to be justified before God. Ultimately, Jesus calls us to approach God with childlike humility and depend solely on His mercy, as only through Jesus' sacrifice are we redeemed and made righteous.

Sunday Nov 03, 2024
In this sermon, Jesus teaches the importance of consistent, tenacious prayer, using the parable of the widow and unjust judge to show how persistence n prayer prevents us from losing hope. He emphasizes that abiding in God and aligning our desires with His leads us to produce spiritual fruit that blesses others, reflecting God's goodness and love. Finally, Jesus reassures us that God's timing is perfect, as He delays His return to allow more people to know Him, urging us to faithfully pray, share the gospel, and await the fullness of God's justice.

The message also highlights the importance of gratitude, urging believers to respond to God’s work in their lives with thankfulness, like the one leper who returned to thank Jesus. Through our faith, obedience, and gratitude, others can witness and experience God's presence.

Luke: The Person and Mission of Jesus / Luke 16:1-13; Exodus 22:25; Leviticus 25:36-37; Deuteronomy 15:7-8; Deuteronomy 23:19-20; Genesis 2:15; Proverbs 2:1-6;
Luke 16 invites us to see our finances and resources through the lens of God's Kingdom, using Jesus' parable of the shrewd manager to challenge how we live. It's not about dishonestly but about making wise, intentional decisions that reflect long-term priorities, just as the manager did when he adjusted his life to secure his future. Jesus calls us to shift our focus from temporary comforts to being faithful stewards of what God has entrusted us with-our money, time, and gifts. It's a call to use our blessings to care for others and live with a deep awareness that everything we have is part of God's plan. Ultimately, this message encourages us to seek God's wisdom in how we live, making decisions that align with His purposes and glorify Him in every part of our lives.
