The Divine Parade

3/21/2016

Scripture Reading: Luke 19:29-48

1. Release your possession to the sovereign plan of Jesus (Divine Parade): verses 29-34

Why? Because the Lord’s disciples asked for it. Because the Lord himself “needs” it.
Why not? You aren’t using it! It was as of yet unridden and unused by its’ owner.
Luke 22:9-13, Jesus directs his disciples similarly to prepare for his observation of Passover.

2. Release yourself into the action and exhalation in worship! Verse 35-40

A colt, some coats, and a crowd of merry men!
What are the ingredients for worship? You really just need to have people who will participate!
"Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. Matthew 23:12, “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Luke 14:11
Psalm 118:26
Motivated by what they had witnessed him doing! The praise him as the King coming in the name of the Lord!
Some Pharisees are repulsed & offended by this and demand that Jesus silence his followers.
The cause will produce the effect! It is a natural response to the presence of greatness to worship!

3. Repent for resisting God’s invitation! Verses 41-48

Hard Hearts: Sorrow in the heart of Jesus at the hardness of the people to God!
Hidden Eyes: You cannot see what God will do because you would not see what God has done.
Hollow Minds/Motives:
Hating Him to Death or Hanging on His Words: verses 47-48

So What?

Give him your stuff
Give him your self
Give him your sin to be forgiven
Get in the Parade

Lost and Found

3/14/2016

Reading: Luke 15:1-10

Memory Verse: "“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?" Luke 15:4

1. Realization of loss!

Only happens when people are valued!
Those God values are at risk!

2. Reaches for the lost! Verses 4-6

Goes after them where they are to bring them to where he is, with the other found things!
Goes after them until they are found!
Goes after them with wise and careful searching! Verse 8

3. Restores and celebrates what’s found!

God in heaven celebrates!
We should celebrate as well!
Fireworks in Heaven!

So What?

Who in your life is lost?
What will you do about it?
If you are lost, will you come to God through Jesus Christ today?
