Dining with Jesus at Emmaus
Luke 24:13-35 Those who loved and followed Jesus were at an all-time emotional low after his crucifixion and burial.  Even after his resurrection, there was much confusion and lack of faith.  But Jesus is the risen Lord who loves to reveal himself!  On the road to Emmaus, Jesus walked and talked with two of his disciples, but it was not until he broke bread with them that they truly recognized him.
  • While always in our midst, Jesus often goes unrecognized.  (24:13-16)
  • The result of our ignorance is discouragement.  (17-24)
  • Jesus gives us insight into his Heavenly Father’s message.  (25-27)
  • The more we commune with Jesus, the more of himself he reveals.  (28-32)
  • When Jesus reveals himself, there is always a message to share. (33-35)
Jesus is The Messiah Who Reveals!

    Dining with Jesus at a Pharisee’s House
    Luke 14:1-24 - Jesus used the occasion of eating at a Pharisee’s house to share some important lessons about the ways of the Heavenly Father.
    • God prioritizes people over traditions. (14:1-6)
    • God humbles the prideful and exalts the humble. (14:7-11)
    • God rewards those who give without thought of repayment. (14:12-14)
    • God welcomes into the Kingdom those who gladly accept His invitation. (14:15-24)
    Jesus is the Messiah Who Teaches the ways of God.
  • Nov 3, 2024Dining with Jesus in the Upper Room
    Nov 3, 2024
    Dining with Jesus in the Upper Room
    Matthew 26:17-30 Just before his betrayal and crucifixion, Jesus sat with his disciples in the upper room for the Passover meal.  As they ate together, he gave them bread and wine which would become an eternal reminder that he is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
    • The meal was a reminder of something PAST.
    • The meal was a declaration of something PRESENT.
    • The meal was a promise of something FUTURE.
    By observing the Passover and instituting the Lord’s Supper, Jesus revealed himself as the Messiah Who Saves!

    Dining with Jesus in a Remote Place
    Matthew 14:13-21 After the death of John the Baptist, Jesus took his disciples with him for some private time away from the crowds.  When people from the towns found where they were, thousands flocked to be healed and to hear Jesus preach.  As the day ended, Jesus called on his disciples to feed them.  How could that be accomplished with only five loaves and two fish?
    • Never underestimate what Jesus can do for a needy world.
    • Never underestimate what Jesus can do with meager resources.
    • Never underestimate what Jesus can do with obedient followers.
    On this occasion when Jesus shared a meal with the masses, he taught a valuable lesson about himself.  He is the Messiah who abundantly provides for the needs of the people he loves.  We can always trust him to provide for us!
  • Oct 20, 2024Dining with Jesus at Matthew’s House

    Dining with Jesus at Matthew’s House
    Luke 5:27-32 In the coming weeks, we will be looking at times when the gospels tell us that Jesus sat down to have a meal, or even to take part in a banquet.  Who was He with, and what does it teach us about His mission as God’s Messiah? We begin early in Jesus’ ministry as He was calling together His band of disciples.  Matthew the tax collector seemed an unlikely choice, but immediately upon being called, he invited Jesus to his house to celebrate with his friends.
    • An Invitation (verse 27)
    • A Redirection (verse 28)
    • A Celebration (verse 29)
    • An Objection (verse 30)
    • A Clarification (verse 31-32)
    We learn an important lesson about Jesus.  He is the Messiah who welcomes!  There is certainly a place at his table for us.

    Unloving Attitudes
    1 Corinthians 13:1-13 After sharing about spiritual gifts in chapter 12, the Apostle Paul focuses on the importance of agape love as the motivation for all that we do. He first lists five important gifts and actions that are useless without love:
    • Eloquence
    • Knowledge
    • Faith
    • Generosity
    • Sacrifice
    He then provides a beautiful description of what Christ-like love truly is:
    • Love is patient and kind.
    • Love does not envy, boast or act out of pride.
    • Love is not rude or selfish.
    • Love is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs.
    • Love doesn’t delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
    • Love protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres.
    Nothing is more important or longer lasting than the love of God revealed to us in Jesus and planted in our hearts.  Allow it to guide every thought, word & action!

    Misguided Worship
    1 Corinthians 11 As the Apostle Paul sought to heal some of the problems in the Church at Corinth, he tackled the issue of misguided worship.  Some in the church had lost focus on what was most important in a Christian fellowship.  Even the communal meals at which the Lord’s Supper was observed were, in Paul’s words, “doing more harm than good.”  What seems to have gone wrong? Rituals had become more important than relationships.  Matthew 5:23-24 Freedoms were used for selfishness rather than servanthood.  Galatians 5:13 The focus had become pleasing themselves rather than pleasing God.  John 4:23-24

    Untapped Potential
    1 Corinthians 12:4-18 A healthy church utilized the spiritual gifts and abilities of all it’s members.   Apparently, the Apostle Paul did not see that happening in Corinth, so he passionately and patiently confronted the “elephant” of untapped potential. What Every Christian Needs to Understand about Spiritual Gifts:
    • Spiritual gifts are special abilities distributed by God through His Holy Spirit.
    • There are many different kinds of spiritual gifts.
    • Every believer has at least one spiritual gift.
    • The purpose of spiritual gifts is to build up the Body of Christ.
    Keys to Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts:
    • Learn
    • Listen
    • Look
    • Leap
  • Sep 22, 2024Elephants in the Church: Immorality

    Elephants in the Church: Immorality
    “Flee from sexual immorality.  All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.  Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your body.”  1 Corinthians 6:18-20 The Apostle Paul was very concerned when Christians ignored immorality in their own lives and within the fellowship of the church.  Confronting the “elephant of immorality” is necessary for several reasons:
    • To help those who have fallen into a sinful lifestyle.
    • To protect the integrity and the future of the church.
    • To strengthen the witness of the church in a fallen world.
    “Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.”  2 Corinthians 7:1

    Elephants in the Church: Disunity
    “I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.”   1 Corinthians 1:10 To maintain unity within the Body of Christ, we need to…
    • Keep our focus on the Messiah.
    • Keep our focus on His Mission.
    • Keep our focus on His Methods.
    • Keep our focus on His Message.
    “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”  Ephesians 4:3
