Who’s at Your Party, Part 2

October 27, 2020

Many people think they have to go overseas to fulfill the Great Commission. But Pastor J.D. reminds us that we have a mission field right here at home! Today’s message is part of our series called Kingdom Come. And Pastor J.D. is teaching from Luke, Chapter 14.

In our workbook, this month, we’ll walk through Scripture from 1 Kings 17 through 2 Kings 6, through the ministries of Elijah and Elisha. Elijah confronted a religious environment very much like our own, one characterized by the attitude, “You have your god, and I have mine.” Elijah, one of the most fascinating characters in Scripture, shows us that knowing the one true God is better than every other rival. Then we’ll take some time to examine the life of one of the greatest miracle workers in all of Scripture: the prophet Elisha. The secret behind Elisha’s power here on earth was his fierce devotion to the God of heaven. Elisha left behind an amazing legacy in this life, not because he was thinking of this life but because he was focused on the greater things that were ahead. Reserve your copy now.

Not all invitations are equal. A backyard BBQ invite might show up in an email or text message, whereas a wedding invitation will probably make a splash. But what about God’s invitation? Well, that makes everything else pale in comparison.

For those who want to know God, the Bible has more than enough evidence for them to believe. But for those who don’t want to know God, no evidence would ever be enough.

Why is it that so many wise, powerful, and intelligent people fail to find God? In this passage of Luke 10, Pastor J.D. explains that Jesus conceals the truth from those who seek to use God as a means to an end. And he reveals himself to those who seek God with humility and love. It’s part of our continued series, titled Kingdom Come.

The Gospel of Luke records several times when Jesus told people not to reveal who he is. If God wants everyone to know him, why did Jesus take such great pains to hide his accomplishments? In The Hiddenness of Jesus, Pastor J.D. shows us that Jesus only reveals himself to those who were interested in finding him, and this message is part of our Kingdom Come series.
