Message: The gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 11:24-26
We want to be master of ourselves and we may deceive ourselves that it is possible, but it is not. The fastest growing religion in the world is religion-less…none.
Removal is not reformation.
Rehabilitation is not regeneration.
A million “I don’ts” won’t make one “I do.” We’re still empty inside.
Ephesians 5:18 “…be filled with the Spirit.” The disciplines of:
Worship
The Word
Prayer
Worship: I see who Jesus is. I see who I am. And I see the difference.
It is about giving; adoration; praise…
We come intending to give and we then receive in the worship process. We give to Jesus and we give to each other.
Crying Stones, Luke 19:37-40
Two reasons to not worship: 1) You’re ashamed 2) You have forgotten what Jesus has done for you. You no longer see it. Others do, but you don’t.
