Betrayal and Arrest of JesusThe cup that Jesus talked about was the cup of the New Testament, in the book of Luke Jesus said “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” What can wash away my sin nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Jesus' parable of the Great Banquet reminds us that God's invitation is for everyone - and His heart is to fill His table with those the world often leaves out.
In Jesus Kingdom, growth may seem small or insignificant, but when we are operating in the ways of the Kingdom of God, it's just a matter of time.

Sermon Notes June 29th, 2025 Luke 9: 28-36 . Jesus’s greatness is often something that is way beyond our initial understanding. In this moment in scripture, Jesus took his inner circle up to a mountain to pray. (Prayer is such a huge part of the son of God’s, life, how much more should ours be?) In this moment, the disciples don't just hear that Jesus is the Christ, but now the disciples see it too! Jesus IS greater! We see Jesus in this glorious light, and He is speaking with great men of God as well. This transfiguration points to the past, but also to the present greatness. Elisha and Moses appear - not as equals, but as subordinates. Jesus is greater than the prophets! The prophets represent “those that spoke on behalf of God.” But Jesus is God! . In both moments in the past - Moses and Elisha had a divine encounter. Both had to be covered and hidden to protect them. But here, we encounter Jesus without a covering. So, when we want to understand God’s direction, we should fix our attention on Jesus. . Jesus’s departure written here, is written using the word for “Exodus.” Moses's exodus brought physical deliverance from Pharo. But Jesus’s exodus will bring spiritual deliverance. The deliverance of Jesus on the cross, to die for our sins is the most important deliverance we could ever receive. . Jesus is the greater deliverer, but he is also the greater tabernacle. . Peter requests that he should make 3 tents for Jesus, Moses, and Elisha. Two men from the dead are alive - this is a holy moment. And holy moments need a tent (the word used is “Tabernacle”). But Peter doesn’t seem to recognize what he’s saying. When a cloud shows up to cover them. Again, the word used is used several times in the Bible - overshadowing represents the filling of the Holy Spirit or the Glory of the Lord. So, now… there’s no tabernacles because they don’t need one. God, Jesus, is the tabernacle. They don’t need another tent, because Jesus IS the place you go to meet with the father! Christ is the greater deliverer, the greater everything! . And the voice of God comes out of the cloud, declaring Jesus’s authority. “This IS my son. Listen to Him.” . So when Jesus is revealed to be the messiah, we know when he says “if anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me,” that He's telling the truth. . So, when Jesus shows up in our life, we must submit. Because Jesus is greater than all other relationships in my life. When he shows up, he comes with proof of His greatness. The revelation which is present means that we should obey. . Jesus is greater. Yes. But is Jesus greater in your life? In your coming and your goings? In your time, talent, and treasure? In our obedience? . It’s not enough to acknowledge Him as the greatest. We must listen to Him, and follow Him.

As Jesus approaches the cross, He challenges His followers to acknowledge Him boldly, trust the Holy Spirit in times of opposition, and live the way of the Kingdom—even when it's costly. We also touch on what it means to deny Jesus, what 'blasphemy against the Holy Spirit' means, and the overarching refrain in the midst of all of this - Jesus saying, "do not be afraid!"

The twenty-first message from the Book of Luke which highlights our response to Jesus' Gospel. Scripture: Luke 5:33-39 Lessons: Lesson 1: We must be careful not to cling too tightly to religious traditions or rigid ways of thinking that hinder us from knowing the real Jesus Lesson 2: External religious observance without inward transformation as a result of one's faith in Christ is meaningless to God

Advent Series, Luke chapter 4: In chapter 4 Luke Jesus spends 40 days in the desert being tempted by Satan and then begins His ministry only to be rejected by the people in his hometown of Nazareth. Questions to think about: -How do you typically respond to temptations? What can we learn from Jesus example of turning to scripture? -In what areas of your life are you tempted to compromise your values or identity for comfort or success? -When you face challenges, do you view them as opportunities for spiritual growth? How might this perspective help you handle difficulties? -Have you experienced rejection from those closest to you when you stepped into a new role or embraced your faith? How did you respond?-How can you demonstrate grace to those who may struggle to understand or accept your faith journey? Encouragement: Luke chapter 4 encourages us to trust in God's word, remain steadfast in our purpose despite life's challenges, and to find hope in Jesus' authority as we lean into the dreams in our hearts and become the person that God created us to be. No one ever said that following God would be easy, but it is definitely worth it! Quoted Scripture: Joshua 1:9
Advent Series, Luke chapter 3: In chapter 3 Luke Jesus is now 30 so we've advanced 18 years in Jesus life from Chapter 2. This chapter focuses mainly on John the Baptist, some of his teaching and the baptism of Jesus. Questions to think about: -What are some ways that your life is planting seeds or preparing hearts to receive the love of Jesus? - Can you think of someone in your life who makes you want to grow closer in your relationship with God? What characteristics do they possess? -How might you be able to share the love of God with someone today through your actions? Encouragement: Advent is a time to prepare our hearts to celebrate the coming of the Lord, we can also focus during Advent on living our lives in a way that can also prepare the hearts of the people in our lives. Be open to opportunities to share your story with someone and how God has changed your life. If you feel a tug on your heart to share a gift, feed someone, listen to someone or offer a smile or a hug this week, be bold and do it. Quoted Scripture: Joshua 1:9
