He had a dangerous mission for them, and He has an important mission for us today. We must go (not necessarily as vocational missionaries to other countries) and tell others about Jesus. The 72 people returned rejoicing at what God had done through them on their journey. Jesus tells them to not get caught up in the success of their mission, but to rejoice that they are in God's Kingdom (v. 20). We need to remember that all of our many blessings can't compare to knowing Jesus and belonging to him. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/sent-by-jesus http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/sent-by-jesus.mp3 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:53:48 GMT Pastor Matt Mitchell The Gospel of Luke missions,luke,jesus,go,rejoice 20:20 What does it mean to follow Jesus? In the second half of chapter 9, it is clear that to follow Jesus we have to face evil with faith just like He did (v.41). You also have to be humble to follow Jesus. The disciples argued with each other about who would be the greatest (v. 46). Jesus said that the least will be the greatest (v.48). We need to be humble. Following Jesus also means that there is no turning back to the things that we once loved (or do still love) more than Him. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/following-jesus http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/following-jesus.mp3 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 19:44:58 GMT Pastor Matt Mitchell The Gospel of Luke the_least,disciples,faith,humility,follow,luke,jesus 29:27 Who is Jesus? This is the question people (including Herod) were asking in Jesus' day. It's a question that is still being asked today that we need to answer for ourselves. Who do you think Jesus is? Jesus asked this question to his disciples. Peter answered (correctly) that Jesus is the Christ (v. 20). God says in verse 35 that Jesus is His Son. We should worship Jesus and listen to what He says because of who He is. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/who-is-jesus http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/who-is-jesus.mp3 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 15:20:20 GMT Pastor Matt Mitchell The Gospel of Luke jesus,luke,son,christ 32:16 Jesus has authority. In Luke chapter 8, He rebuked a raging storm out at sea and the storm immediately ceased. He is Lord of creation. When He and the disciples get back to land, they encounter a demon possessed man. The demons are scared of Jesus and what He can do to them. Jesus is Lord of damnation. He has the authority to punish evil. He also has the authority to heal and bring people back to life from the dead with one touch or word (v. 40-56). Jesus is Lord of resurrection. We can and should trust and worship Him. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/jesus-is-lord http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/jesus-is-lord.mp3 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:24:40 GMT Pastor Matt Mitchell The Gospel of Luke jesus,lord,authority 31:24 Jesus states that his real family consists of people who hear God's word and put it into practice (Luke 8:21). There are a lot of obstacles to hearing God's word and doing what He says. That's what the parable of the soils is all about (Luke 8:4-15). There are three types of obstacles to hearing and doing God's word (Satan, the flesh, and worries, riches, and pleasures). There is only one type of good soil (a person' s heart) that bears fruit from the seed that is sown. That person hears the word of God and does it! Which soil are you? http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/jesus-real-family http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/jesus-real-family.mp3 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 15:37:06 GMT Pastor Matt Mitchell The Gospel of Luke jesus,soil,parable_of_the_sower,hear_family 21:15 Luke 7:36-50 is a story about loving Jesus much. We should love Jesus with much emotion and devotion, like the woman who cried and wiped Jesus' feet with her hair. We can do this because we love Jesus much for being forgiven much, just like the woman in the story. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/loving-jesus-much http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/loving-jesus-much.mp3 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:27:23 GMT Pastor Matt Mitchell The Gospel of Luke jesus,luke,love,forgiven 25:41 There is a spiritual battle Christ-followers face daily. It is a real battle, but one that is not easily seen by us. Satan and his legion are our enemies, and we need to take a defensive position against them. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/its-a-battle-out-there http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/its-a-battle-out-there.mp3 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 15:20:03 GMT Chris Van Brocklin There is a spiritual battle Christ-followers face daily.

Are you wondering if you've been missing something when it comes to Jesus? You aren't alone. John the Baptist was disappointed with Jesus in Luke 7. His disappointment came from Jesus not being what he expected. There is a second kind of disappointment in this passage. Some people are disappointed in Jesus because He is not what they demand Him to be. Jesus responds to John's disappointment (he gives a faith building reply to John), and to those who demand what He is to be and do. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/disappointed-with-jesus http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/disappointed-with-jesus.mp3 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 16:04:55 GMT Pastor Matt Mitchell The Gospel of Luke jesus,john_the_baptist,luke,disappointment 22:51 In Luke 7, there are several amazing things that happen. Jesus is amazed by the faith shown by a Roman soldier. Jesus heals the man's servant by just saying the word. Jesus has amazing authority, even authority over death! He brings the dead son of a widow back to life. Jesus has amazing compassion. His authority is coupled with compassion. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/amazing-jesus http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/amazing-jesus.mp3 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:30:38 GMT Pastor Matt Mitchell The Gospel of Luke amazing,jesus,compassion,authority,centurion,luke 24:19 EFCA Allegheny District Director of Church Starts, Jim Culbertson, takes us through what Jesus had to say about how a true disciple acts in the book of Matthew. http://www.sermoncloud.com/lanse-evangelical-free-church/jesus-discourses-on-discipleship http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/481/jesus-discourses-on-discipleship.mp3 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 15:08:00 GMT Jim Culbertson EFCA Allegheny District Director of Church Starts, Jim Culbertson, takes us through what Jesus had to say about how a true disciple acts in the book of Matthew. discipleship,matthew,jesus 38:21
