Today we are continuing Luke Gospel in chapter 10. This is our 13th week in the book of Luke. I hope you have received something from Luke's Gospel. Maybe you have noticed that Luke is a very thorough guy when writing his Gospel account of Jesus. I have said this many times in this series. Luke records…

The last sermon of the "LUKE: Gospel of Amazement" series. Pastor Neal talks about turning confusion into clarity and commitment.
Patrick addresses the terrible effects of pornography and gives advice to parents struggling to keep their children safe from it. While Patrick was answering questions a caller shared his powerful journey from recovery to porn as a child. Patrick reads an email and gives advice to a woman whose child is struggling with Porn Sam - Had to fill in my zodiac sign on a form for medical benefits at the state. What is that? John - Mark and Luke Gospel passages about division- how can they be reconciled? Richard - I became addicted to porn by 10. I can tell you how hard it is Patrick reads an email from Lloyd about liturgical practices that are not good in the Church.
In this significant and memorable event in Jesus' life, He is finally, rightly, declared King. Unfortunately, the Jewish people rejected God's visitation of mercy in the person of Christ and instead will get His visitation of wrath.
In this lesser-known parable, Jesus teaches us two main truths - that Christians should make the most of what has been entrusted to them until the Lord returns and to reject the King invites judgment.

Lenten Connection–Darren McDowell–Come to Know the Lord (Darren takes the weekday readings for Saturday of the 3rd week of Lent from the prophet Hosea and Luke Gospel to ask “how is your relationship of love with God going? We discover in the Hosea reading, God desires, “Love not sacrifice, knowledge of God, not holocaust” (Ho 6:6). Likewise, in Luke's Gospel, it is the humble, contrite heart that God smiles upon (Lk 18:14). God desires a relationship of love with us. An experience of mutual friendship that is deep, long lasting, and genuine. This Lent spend time in prayer and reflection to reveal ourselves to God in all our strengths and weaknesses.)

True Grace Church
Easter 3 (April 26)“But we had hoped…” Today the disciples find themselves disappointed and downtrodden, unable to see Jesus in their midst. Likewise, as we move on the road of life — especially these days — we are often so overwhelmed that we cannot see Jesus. Yet the Good News it that Jesus walks with us, just like he walked with those first disciples. Pastor Rob reflects on the Luke Gospel passage, sometimes called “The Road to Emmaus, on where Jesus is revealing himself to us during this time: in our homes, in creation and in our sharing.
Luke, the Gentile scholar-physician, passed down to us a record of Jesus' life and ministry in hopes of making Jesus known in his world. Luke Gospel should likewise encourage and challenge us to make Jesus known in our world.
So, we're good at making excuses. We learn it from childhood, we raise up into adolescents and do it real well. And then by the time we're adults, man we’re professionals, and we got a good rate of how we can make an excuse about any kind of thing, not the least of which is service. I'm convinced that we've discovered how to make these excuses not only because it sort of in our DNA, but because it's awfully convenient isn't it? It's awfully convenient to say, when you challenge me, or when you call me to task or when you're asking me to do something I can make an excuse in any, in a record time, right? I can't do that, I won't do that, I don't understand how to do that, it's not my time. Whatever we make a good excuse and when it comes to service, we do the exact same thing. Here's our challenge. I think the challenge is that if we are indeed followers of Jesus, if we are those who taken up the call to say Jesus is my Lord Jesus is my Savior, he's my all-in-all, as the song just said he's my everything. Then here's what I wanna suggest, and it's right there in your notes to follow Jesus. It's not about convenience, it's about commitment. There is nowhere in the New Testament where it says, to follow Jesus is gonna be easy, simple or straightforward, there's nowhere in the New Testament where it says, to follow Jesus is a matter of convenience. Now, we all love convenience. I'll be the first to own, I love convenience. I'd just soon do something easy than hard, I just soon pay somebody to do something I don't wanna do. It's a matter of convenience, but if we are followers of Jesus, it's not about convenience. It’s about commitment. Over and over again Jesus would challenge those who would say they're His followers whether it was the disciples, of the Gospels or whether it's the disciples of today, Jesus is calling us, summoning us, serving us with papers if you will, to be servants. One of the best known places I believe comes from Luke Gospel and ninth chapter, Jesus has just sent the 70 out and he's talking to some of the disciples, about what The Cost of Discipleship, will be what it will incur of those who are gonna follow him. It goes something like this: beginning in verse 23. Jesus said to all of them. If people wanna follow me, they must give up the things they want. That doesn't sound convenient does it? I don't wanna give up the things that I want. They must be willing to give up their lives daily to follow me. That's getting pretty committed right verse 24. Those who want to save their lives will give up, true life, but those who give up their lives, for me will have true life. It is worthless to have the whole world if they themselves are destroyed or lost. Friends, this is the word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God. That's a hard word, isn't it? We must give up what we want, we must lay aside those things that we desire in order to follow Jesus, and most of us when we read that or here that go. Yeah, maybe I'll try, I'll give it a good thought. I hope that that works out in very few of us actually say those words, The most of us think that because that's tough... That's about commitment. That's clearly not about convenience. It would be awfully convenient to just say Jesus is my Lord and Savior, and be done with it. It's not how it works, though, is it... That's really just the beginning of the relationship, to acknowledge that Jesus is my Lord and Savior begins a life long journey and that journey is about commitment that journey is about doing what it is Christ calls us to and in part he calls us to serve other people. To serve other people in his name, to claim His love on their behalf, to help those who are in need and downtrodden. We're called to serve.

So I wanna encourage you to turn with me to Mark's gospel. So the 16th chapter in where we hear the account of what took place that very first Easter where I don't doubt for a second, that when that tomb was empty, there was both terror and amazement. And it changed everything. So listen for these words, “when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint him, meaning Jesus and very early on the first day of the week when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb, so they had been saying to one another Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back as they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side and they were alarmed, but He said to them, Do not be alarm. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, He has been raised, he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him on but go now tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of. You took ally there, you will see Him just as He told you, so... So they went out and fled from the tomb for terror and amazement had seized them at so and they said Nothing to anyone at so I for... They were afraid. Friends, may God richly blessed to us, the reading and the hearing of a portion of God's most holy and trusted word. It must have been a very strange occurrence. They went to anoint the dead body of their savior, they went to see what had become cold and their own understanding the very one in whom they placed their whole trust and they're very being was dead. And they were simply going to obey the ritual laws. Let's prepare the body let's do what we're supposed to do. Let's take care of things, as the women of the day would have done. But when they get there, the tomb is empty, the stone is rolled away, it's a massive stone all it's huge. There's no way a human could have moved it. And when they get there, they realize that the body is gone, the tomb is empty, they don't see Jesus they don't understand what's happened, all they know is the tomb is empty, the egg is empty. Or all they know is that he's gone. And then someone says to them, who is not normal, who is supra normal he's not here, see, there's where they laid him he's not here he has gone on to Galilee, there you will see Him just like He said The... And they left with terror and amazement. Now, the text says that, that terror and amazement. Is some kind of conglomeration, that somehow they're both scared to death and excited that somehow everything they'd ever known, has been shattered and yet all possibility still it is, there's terror and amazement. And the text says, They said nothing to anyone in. We were told that on multiple occasions to... We've been learning these last many weeks throughout our Lenten season for the love of humanity that Luke Gospel, when Jesus got up, in the fourth chapter, he gets up and reads from the prophet Isaiah and he speaks this powerful truth that the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me and he's anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor, to release the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and to set at liberty those who are captive and we are those who get to do that as we get to set the captives free, we get to bring new life to others, we get to make it possible for those who live in darkness and despair to receive hope. It's what Paul meant. I feel confident when he wrote to the churches in Galatia, the Book of Galatia, tells us in Chapter Five that Christ has set us free, stand firm therefore and never take on again, the yoke of slavery, never take it on again.
This is the Weekly Lectionary Special Christmas Edition! Thanks for downloading this special edition of the Weekly Lectionary. Christmas is upon us; a blessed Christmas Season to you! Many churches will have several services in this Christmas Season. Some Christmas Eve services. Some Christmas Day. The Lectionary provides what is called Proper I Proper II and Proper III for the reading choices. In this program, I have elected to go with Proper II and Proper III. Proper II gives the complete Luke Gospel as is called for in either I or II, and some of the additional readings which we haven't covered during Advent. In Proper III, we will hear John, which to me, may be one of the most beautifully written passages in all of scripture. Proper II readings for Christmas 2018 Isaiah 62:6-12 Psalm 97 (11) Titus 3:4-7 Luke 2:[1-7] 8-20 Proper II readings for Christmas 2018 Isaiah 52:7-10 Psalm 98 (3) Hebrews 1:1-4 [5-12] John 1:1-14 Here is wishing you a Blessed and very Merry Christmas!
