Luke 14:26

Dive deep into a seemingly harsh verse from Luke 14. Is Jesus really asking us to hate our families? Explore the surprising truth behind this verse, and discover the freedom of loving God and neighbor without excuses.

Sunday Bulletin May 26th

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK:   Say What?: Jesus Said What? - Hate Family

  1. At first glance, when Jesus says to “hate” our family, what does it sound like He’s telling us to do? 

  2. Read Luke 14:12-33.  What does Jesus really mean by this?

  3. What are some excuses you make to not follow God completely or not love your neighbor completely?

  4. In the sermon and in Luke 14, Jesus encourages us to count the cost.  Can you think of Jesus and count the ways that He has loved you?  How does that make loving God and neighbor easier?

[Sunday] Matthew 2 - Richer

Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith.  Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility.  For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.

[Sunday] Psalm 2 - Richer

Psalm 1 provides a blueprint for spiritual life, and helps us see how Jesus grew into His Messianic role.  Psalm 2 broadens from individual growth to God's MESSIANIC PLAN for the world and takes in the entire sweep of history.  This Sunday we are in an Advent state of mind.  Next Sunday we celebrate Christmas in July through the eyes of the Magi.

It was a wonderful week for the kids! They engaged their senses with a blindfolded smell-guessing activity and expanded their palates by sampling mangoes for their tropical fruit feature. They also learned about the story of Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus.
