When Résumés Don't Work
We spend so much of life trying to prove ourselves, stacking up achievements, polishing appearances, and comparing ourselves to others. But in Luke 18–19, Jesus shows that résumés don’t open the door to God’s kingdom. The Pharisee’s confidence, the ruler’s success, and the crowd’s judgment all fall short. Meanwhile, a tax collector, some children, a blind beggar, and a man up a tree find mercy. In "When Résumés Don't Work," Terry explores what happens when pride collides with grace, and why desperation, honesty, and humility are the only way in.
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.
