As the Room Turns
After the weeping over Jerusalem and the overturned tables, Jesus walks back into the temple. Every day. The people who run the building are actively working on the problem of how to kill him — and Luke's description of Jesus in the middle of all of that is five words: every day he was teaching. Pastor Terry traces three ways people respond when a room turns against them, and asks a harder question than whether you're brave enough to stay. The institution's hostility could not move Jesus because their approval was never what held him there. What's holding you?
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
