48. Humility: A Counter-Cultural Approach to Greatness

Luke 9:46-55

Recently, if you’ve read the news, scrolled through social media sites, or watched any amount of television, there has been much debate about greatness. Presidential nominees are declaring how they will be a great president, tech companies declare they have the next greatest invention, and news anchors discuss weather or not a particular Olympic athlete is indeed the greatest of all time.

But have you

Presidential nominees are declaring how they will be a great president, tech companies declare they have the next greatest invention, and news anchors discuss weather or not a particular Olympic athlete is indeed the greatest of all time.

35. Our Sins Are Great. God's Forgiveness Is Greater

Luke 7:36-50

Many people, both believers and non-believers alike, have an incorrect view of who Jesus is. Some believe He was just a prophet, while others believed He was a good moral man.

Today, it is my prayer that everyone in our church gathering will walk away with a greater biblical understanding of who Jesus is.

22. Jesus is God!

Luke 5:1-11 

Last week we saw just how awesome Jesus is. Jesus has the power to heal the sick, cast out demons and draw massive crowds through His teaching.

My prayer for all of us today is that our hearts will be encouraged that no matter where we find ourselves in life’s journey Jesus is God, He is alive, He has power over all things, and we should be encouraged to go out and spread His gospel to those He has placed in our lives.
