Ears, Please Hear
In our society, people have tendency not to listen, at least not to everything. Even when people do, they tend to only hear the parts they want to. Most people are just looking for something to react to, whether it is something to be excited about or something to be outraged about. This can be problematic in general discourse. People can pick and choose what they hear and miss the point entirely. When we look at the parables that Jesus spoke we can often do the very same thing. Tonight Terry takes us through Luke 8:8 and Jesus’ words there. Often times people will not hear Jesus’ message but do not allow to take root. Once we can truly hear the message of Christ, open ourselves to it, and allow it to full take root in our heart, truly spectacular things happen and our lives will never be the same.
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.
