"The Sermon on the Plain" - Luke 6:12-7:1 According to Luke: The Sermon on the Plain CityChurch Bristol on April 27, 2025.   This is not so much a sermon as an extended reading of Jesus' Sermon on the Plain from Luke 6. Before we dig in to studying Jesus' sermon in depth, piece by piece over the next several weeks, we spent this Sunday experiencing it as whole through a prayerful reading of the full text. *Note: Please forgive an audio error at as the second reading begins. The first few verses of the passage are absent from the recording.*   Artwork Credit: The sermon graphic implements two pieces of artwork.

GUEST: JUSTIN PETERS, evangelist and preacherIt can be confusing and even destabilizing when a pastor or Christian leader who has been orthodox in his teaching for decades says something that seems to compromise God's Word.Such occurred recently with revered pastor Alistair Begg. Begg, who is from Scotland but leads Parkside Church in Cleveland, is the Bible teacher on the popular radio ministry, Truth for Life. In an episode in September 2023, Truth for Life host Bob Lepine was interviewing pastor Begg about his new book, The Christian Manifesto, which seeks to help Christians live out Jesus' “Sermon on the Plain” (Luke 6) in a 21st century brave new world context.Begg brought up the example of what he said to a grandmother who had contacted him about whether to attend her grandson's “wedding” to a “transgender” person (the quotes being added because God defines a wedding as between one man and one woman and no one can “trans” their gender).We'll play the audio of pastor Begg's response, but in short, he suggested the grandmother attend the ceremony and buy the couple a gift with the purpose to keep the lines of engagement and gospel-witness open with her grandson.Those in theologically conservative circles collectively choked on his response while theological liberals said “this is the way”.The important question is: What is God's will for Christians with an issue like this? It is a matter of right vs wrong or an issue of personal conscience?Preacher and evangelist Justin Peters will join us this weekend and point to key passages of Scripture that help us make wise, God-honoring decisions.---------------------------Registration Open for The Overcomer CourseJune 21-24, 2024

12Now it was during this time that Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent all night in prayer to God. 13When morning came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles: 14Simon (whom he named Peter), and his brother Andrew; and James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, 16Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.The Sermon on the Plain17Then he came down with them and stood on a level place. And a large number of his disciples had gathered along with a vast multitude from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, 18and those who suffered from unclean spirits were cured. 19The whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.20Then he looked up at his disciples and said:“Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God belongs to you.21“Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied.“Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.22“Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil on account of the Son of Man! 23Rejoice in that day, and jump for joy, because your reward is great in heaven. For their ancestors did the same things to the prophets.24“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your comfort already.25“Woe to you who are well satisfied with food now, for you will be hungry.“Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.26“Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for their ancestors did the same things to the false prophets.27“But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29To the person who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other as well, and from the person who takes away your coat, do not withhold your tunic either. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask for your possessions back from the person who takes them away. 31Treat others in the same way that you would want them to treat you.32“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same. 34And if you lend to those from whom you hope to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may be repaid in full. 35But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to ungrateful and evil people. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.Do Not Judge Others37“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you: A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use will be the measure you receive.”39He also told them a parable: “Someone who is blind cannot lead another who is blind, can he? Won't they both fall into a pit? 40A disciple is not greater than his teacher, but everyone when fully trained will be like his teacher. 41Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own? 42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck from your eye,' while you yourself don't see the beam in your own? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.43“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from brambles. 45The good person out of the good treasury of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury produces evil, for his mouth speaks from what fills his heart.46“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,' and don't do what I tell you?47“Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them into practice – I will show you what he is like: 48He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep, and laid the foundation on bedrock. When a flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against that house, it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!”

We continue in our study of Luke's Gospel, looking this time at the Sermon on the Plain.

In the midst of his public ministry, Jesus gave a sermon with sound practical advice for living well in relationship with God and each other. In this Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:27-38) - known as the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew - Jesus teaches his disciples to love fully, to give generously, and not to judge. What would this world be like if we all followed his advice? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/st-johns-lutheran-church/message

Jesus often tells us what we don't want to hear but what we need to know. For example, in the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6), Jesus tells his disciples that the poor, hungry, grieving, and derided are blessed. Why? Perhaps because in our moments of emptiness, we realize what is always true:  we need God every second of every hour of every day of our lives. Today Pastor Rich reflects on Jesus' Sermon on the Plain.

In part 2 of our focus on the life of William J. Seymour, Jordan McCloud and Justin finish William’s story by reflecting on how William handled difficult situations. The short answer: with humility and a heart to glorify God. Jordan and Justin reflect on how lessons from Seymour’s life are applicable today, both in the Church and in greater society. A big theme that emerges in this episode is the Christlike way of responding to racism, bitterness and oppression. In all things, Seymour seemed to respond with humility and love out of reverence for Christ. Likewise, Seymour responded to injustices done to him from friends and even his mentor, with humility and love. He never stopped advocating for truth but seemed to take seriously that “our struggle is not against flesh and blood.” If you haven’t listened to part 1 in our series, check it out for a lot more of the details of this man’s story. HIGHLIGHTS Justin shared about how on the day Billy Graham died, God called Justin away from being political in the same way Billy abstained from politics. Jordan shared about the temptation to be bitter at one's cultural enemies in the same way Jonah was. The guys talked about the implications of Jesus' Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:20-49) in today's divisive world.

Hyperbole makes exaggerated statements not meant to be taken literally. This is what some believe Jesus was doing when teaching the crowd. But then Jesus pointed out this is what God the Father does all the time. So where does that leave us? Listen and find out. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2019

In this reflection on the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-26), Rev. Blanchard challenges us to think about whether we would receive Christ's blessing or get a warning from Christ.

Evening - Sunday, April 8, 2018 - The Gospel of Luke (Sermon on the Plain) - Luke 6:20-49 by Broadway Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky - listen to our worship services here. Pastor Daniel Ausbun preaches from the Christian Standard Bible (CSB). A Southern Baptist congregation at 2500 Harrodsburg Road in Lexington, KY 40503.

Jesus is often misunderstood as teaching a moral system – a new vision of right and wrong that will be more pleasing to God. But to hear him in this way is to miss the greater point of his message. In this episode we explore Jesus’s famous “Sermon on the Plain” (Luke 6) and how […]
