With the cross of Christ, the time has come “to gather all nations and tongues” (Isaiah 66:18). The sign of the cross is set forth in the preaching of the Gospel, the declaration of the Lord's glory “among the nations” (Isaiah 66:19). Many “will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God” (Luke 13:29), but only by the narrow way of the cross. Those who refuse to follow Christ crucified will ultimately find only “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Luke 13:28), whereas Christ's disciples, called from all the nations, will eat and drink with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of God. They will come into “the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:22).

A Christian Political Identity - Sunday, August 25 & September 1, 9:00 a.m.Jesus announced the coming of the Kingdom of God (Luke 4:43). We are citizens of heaven (Philippians 3:20) but residents of earth. Paul used his Roman citizenship (Acts 16) but did not attempt to overthrow political rulers. How do we navigate a political world of totalitarian political powers and concerns of “the end of democracy” while living in the midst of highly dysfunctional governments? Should we retreat to an echo chamber or just give up and pray? What do we learn from Jesus, Daniel, and Paul that might help us? Join us on Sunday, August 25 & September 1, at 9:00 AM as we explore a biblical worldview about a Christian political identity. Go to fellowshipconway.org/register to sign-up. Space is limited.
Part 73 of "Luke: Mission to the World"
Part 72 of "Luke: Mission to the World"
In last week's episode, Ezekiel offered encouragement and comfort to the exiles, who worried that they were excluded from God's plans for the nation of Israel. Surprisingly, Ezekiel identified them as the prophesied remnant. To help them chart a fresh course, God promised to gift them a new heart made of flesh (11:19). Instead of rejoicing over the good news, Chapter 12 reveals that a contingent of exiles rejected Ezekiel as a divine messenger. His oracles and sign-acts, no matter how forceful and dramatic, were unsuccessful in getting through. Despite Ezekiel's best efforts, they remained stonyhearted. God warned Ezekiel, “Mortal, you are living in the midst of a rebellious house who have eyes to see but do not see, who have ears to hear but do not hear” (12:2). Other prophets, like Isaiah and Jeremiah, used this same terminology to describe the epidemic of spiritual indifference in their time (Isa. 26:11; Jer. 5:21). Jesus, six hundred years later, also described how his teaching failed to affect those with deadened senses. Jesus used parables to reveal the purpose of his mission, recognizing that only those with perceptive eyes and attentive ears would understand his teachings (Matt. 13:13-15). For those listeners who were spiritually awake, the parables revealed “the secrets of the kingdom of God” (Luke 8:10). Like Jesus, Ezekiel hoped his message broke through to the seeing and hearing remnant, even if the spiritually blind and deaf rejected it.

Jesus corrects the Pharisees' interpretation of the Law and uses this opportunity to rectify their understanding of divorce. We can learn from this interaction that there is a difference between being unwilling to change and trusting submission to Jesus's teaching. Listen in to hear more.
Mary's song of praise at the news of bearing the Christ child teaches us that mercy is central to God's kingdom.
Continuing in the parable of the great banquet, we see that not everyone who receives an invitation into the Kingdom of Heaven accepts it. As God's people, we are called to accept and extend the invitation to anyone who will hear. Listen in to hear more.
Do you meet the requirement for entering the Kingdom of God? And Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God! “For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Luke 18:24-25 NASB95 In the previous episode, I talked about how the Kingdom of God belongs to children. Today, we find that it is humanly impossible for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. Right after the scene in yesterday's episode, we find Jesus talking with the rich, young ruler.
How can you take possession of the kingdom of God? And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them. But Jesus called for them, saying, “Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke 18:15-16 The Jews are coming to Jesus to be near him and to be blessed by him. The disciples told them not to bother the Teacher. But Jesus responded that the children should be allowed to come to him for the kingdom of God belongs to them. What does this mean? Most every modern translation uses the term "belongs." We have access to the Kingdom of God based on innocent trust. At least that's my understanding. In this passage, Jesus says the children have the kingdom of God in verse 16 and that others receive the kingdom like a child in order to enter it. Think about the Kingdom of God as being something a child can possess. Why do they "have it?" They "received [it] like a child [in order to] enter it."
In this sermon we see that “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!” 1. There are many excuses for not coming 2. Go out and bring them in 3. Go out further and bring them in harder
Luke 18:15–30 (ESV) 15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17 Truly, I say to […] The post Receiving and Earning the Kingdom of God (Luke 18:15-30) first appeared on Hope of Christ Church.

Acts 1 Sermon Notes:1) Apostolic Empowerment | 1-112) Apostolic Oblivion | 3-8 3) Apostolic Apostasy | 12-20 4) Apostolic Succession | 15-26 Reflection Questions: 1) Acts 1:3 says that Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God during the 40 days before He ascended into heaven. What is the Kingdom of God? And what is the “good news of the Kingdom of God” (Luke 4:43)? 2) What does Jesus say will happen after His people receive the power of the Holy Spirit? What are all the ways you are currently witnessing (in small or large ways) about the good news of Jesus and its (current and future) impact upon your life?3) Does Acts record the casting of lots in chapter 1 to encourage us to use similar methods in our decision making? What about the presence of prayer? How can we know which parts of Acts are prescriptive (prescribing what we should do) and which ones are descriptive (merely describing what happened)? How can the rest of Scripture help us decide?
Luke 7:1-50 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Luke 7 is a bit of a long, complex chapter. There is an account of a healing, another regarding the raising of a dead man, and a final one about a prostitute who is forgiven by Jesus. Woven into these three stories we learn about John the Baptist who is questioning whether Jesus really is the Messiah, and we're introduced to a distasteful Pharisee who sees no need for a Savior. So how do these different puzzle pieces fit together? Well, Luke is setting the stage for his readers to understand Jesus' preaching ministry. Our Lord is about to go from village to village “bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God” (Luke 8:3), but what is this good news all about? And who is it for? That's what we'll learn about through these various accounts in Luke 7. Through our study, may the Lord help us receive this good news afresh.
Where is the kingdom of God? Is it only seen after your physical death? Is it in the halls and pews of your local church building? Or is it in the people of the body of Christ? We are ambassadors of Heaven. So where we are we should treat those with the customs of love we learn from the King of our homeland.

[00:30] Tony ‘Apolitical' Fauci (20 minutes) Tony Fauci is finally getting called on the carpet for his many lies during the COVID scam-demic. On Wednesday last week, Fauci faced a seven-hour deposition by the Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general, who had a copy of The Real Anthony Fauci on the table during the session. Meanwhile, Fauci says Republicans have politicized the coronavirus, but that he, personally, is “not political at all.” [20:40] China's Zero COVID Policy (9 minutes) China is trying to hush up the ongoing protests in its major cities against President Xi Jinping's “zero-COVID” policy. In response to these protests, CNN abruptly changed its tune—celebrating Chinese protesters for opposing the same aggressive lockdown measures that it praised the Chinese government for throughout 2020. [30:00] Bourla's Fake Science (7 minutes) Pfizer CEO Dr. Albert Bourla is facing criticism from the UK's pharmaceutical regulator for promoting COVID vaccines for children ages 5 to 11 before the vaccine was approved for children. [37:30] Offensive Warfare (18 minutes) The Bible uses strong language when describing our spiritual warfare. As God's army, our responsibility is to press our way into the Kingdom of God (Luke 16:16) and “take it by force” (Matthew 11:12). We must “endure hardness” and “strive for masteries” (2 Timothy 2:3-5) as good soldiers, battling for God.
