Luke Part 10

Intro

Last week we introduced the sermon on the mount from Luke’s perspective

This week we finish it- a bunch of mini sermons

What it takes to obtain the beatitudes- I want to inherit the kingdom

The Original Command of Jesus

I got robbed this week and then I read this and now I don’t know how to feel

this seems simple at first but the truth in this passage is pretty deep and difficult

what does it mean to truly do good?

what I have is not my own, its given to me that I might glorify God

show mercy and do good as he does

Judging Others

this is a dangerous passage

many health and wealth doctrines will stem from this

Jesus does not mean that this will happen immediately or even in this life

He means that God is the judge not man and for your good and your understanding of his power and mercy, you will be given the same

who am I to lead or who am I to deal with the evil in another

these things are God’s place not mine

A Tree and Its Fruit

what does good fruit mean?

fruit of the spirit

be a force multiplier for God’s good

Build Your House on the Rock

the word is the foundation

everything in your life is meant to be built on these things and the things that come from them

if your foundation is the good that Jesus has taught, then what you produce will be from that good

these are the things that are unchanging and unshaken and so too will you be

Application

a group of people who have been told that they can do no good and who are the farthest from the kingdom of heaven

Jesus tells them that they are the closest

and more than that, he tells them that the qualifiers for the kingdom, for closeness to God, for good, are possible for them

to live as though God is the only good, and all I have I use to glorify him, I begin with him and I end with him
