Luke 13:22-30

Disciplined for Holiness | Luke 13:22–30 | The Narrow Door When I was young, I took piano lessons. My teacher was kind, but relentless. She circled the same mistakes week after week, making me slow down and repeat the basics until I could play them well. At the time, it felt tedious. But she wasn't punishing me—she was preparing me for something better. In the same way, God disciplines His children. His discipline is not aimless punishment, but loving training that shapes, strengthens, and prepares us for holiness. Through His Word, He teaches us the narrow way, that we may share in His holiness and enter the narrow door of life.

Someone asks Jesus if only a few will be saved. Jesus responds with, "Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able." It is faith in Jesus and His death and resurrection that gets us to heaven, and only that. He IS the narrow door, as the path to heaven goes through Him. As we journey through this life as Christians, we see not only division between those who believe in God and those who do not, we also see divisions between Christians and other churches. We will continue to explore some of those divisions.

Sermon by Fr. Peter Smith11th Sunday of Ordinary Time

The Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost Morning Prayer

"The Narrow Door," Ordinary Time; Luke 13:22-30; Rev. Dcn. Ashley Davis.

Just because "everyone says" something doesn't make it true. People have all kinds of ideas about who gets to go to heaven or how they might get there. Jesus says, however, that the door to heaven is narrow, and few will be able to enter it. Jesus himself is the only way in.Pastor Schroeder's sermon preached at Faith at August 24, 2025.

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Striving For The Narrow Door In this powerful passage, Jesus is on His journey toward Jerusalem, and He addresses a profound question about salvation, urging us all to strive diligently to enter through the narrow door that leads to God's eternal kingdom. We're going to take a deep dive into the historical backdrop of Jesus' ministry at this pivotal time, as He teaches in various cities and villages, fully aware of the cross that lies ahead. We'll explore the urgency embedded in His words, the dangers of spiritual complacency and presumption that can creep into our lives, and the incredible hope of a kingdom that welcomes people from every direction—east, west, north, and south. Along the way, you'll gain practical insights on how to cultivate an authentic faith, prioritize your walk with God in the midst of daily busyness, and step out in boldness to share the life-changing gospel with those around you. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

In this insightful sermon, Chris Montgomery explores the teachings of Luke 13:22-30, focusing on the concept of the 'narrow door.' He discusses the challenges of maintaining one's faith in the face of societal pressures to conform, and the importance of focusing on Christ alone to truly understand His message. Montgomery emphasizes the need for humility and spiritual likeness to navigate the journey towards the new Jerusalem, urging believers to strive for a deeper connection with Jesus.

Reading Luke 13:18-30 where Jesus tells two parables about a mustard seed and leaven hidden in flour, and then instructs His hearers to enter the kingdom by the narrow door. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!

Luke Part 62: The narrow doorLuke 13:22-30Rev. Justin OlivettiMain idea: There's only one path to eternal life

The Narrow Door Is Open WideLuke 13The Village Chapel - 05/11/2025In Luke 13, Jesus reminds his listeners that there is a universal need for repentance, no matter the circumstances of their lives. The door to the kingdom is narrow, and for now,  is flung open wide with an invitation to all to enter. But Jesus also warns us that at some point, that door will be closed.

This week we will be studying Luke 15:11-32 under the theme “A Parable of Two Sons.” This will be our third straight week hearing Jesus teach on The Banquet. We've heard about a Narrow Door. We've heard about Making Excuses. And now he's teaching about the difference between repentant sinners and self-righteous religious practitioners. We'll explain why the traditional title “The Parable of the Prodigal Son,” which dates back to 16th century English translations and even the Latin Vulgate, is tremendously misleading. This text is as much, or more, about an obedient older brother and how he still stands outside the banquet.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

This week we will be studying Luke 13:22-30 under the theme “The Kingdom's Narrow Door.” Jesus regularly needed to teach the people of his day that they would not be saved by their pedigree or moral performance. Rather, we can only be saved by grace through faith in him. Everyone is invited to pass through that door, but the door itself is narrow and you cannot bring a bunch of things with you. Letting go of the things of this world requires humility, trust, and urgency. The goal of Dr. Luke's Gospel is to present the universal reach of Jesus' gift of salvation. As a man of science, Luke was not particularly interested in mere spiritual opinions, feelings, rumors, or legends. Educated and orderly, Luke sifted through the garbage of misinformation and bad ideas to bring substantiated eyewitness verification of the truth—a gracious reality of mercy and justice for all.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive
