What is Shaping Who?
Change can be difficult, and it is often something we aim to avoid. The way we perceive things has a tendency to shape our outlook, and if things do not fit the perceptions we have, we try to reshape them to what we think they should be. This can be met with varying forms of success or absolute failure. All of this to avoid change. In our misunderstanding we even try and reshape the Kingdom of God, to match the Kingdoms of the world. However we cannot shape the Kingdom of God. Tonight Terry takes us through a different take on Luke Chapter 8. When we try and shape the Kingdom of God to fit our own perceptions, we tend to miss the point of what God is actually doing. We miss the change that God has for us.
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.
