Sermons About Be-the-church
Drop
In nearly every aspect of our lives we seem to believe “Bigger is Better.” But is bigger always better? Not when it comes to spiritual things. Jesus taught this in Luke 13:18–21 with two illustrations of how God works in his kingdom. This message uses the refrain “God uses small things to do big stuff” and illustrates it from various sources to get the main idea across. It concludes with the challenge of all of us joining together for the impact of small actions multiplied by many.

Lens
We all have a “lens”—assumptions, responses, and judgments—that influences how we see the world and other people. We have given Jesus our hearts, now we need to give him our eyes. Through exploring Luke 4:14–21, we discover that Jesus’ mission guided his vision. He focused on hurting people, looking through his lens of compassion. By taking up Christ’s mission, we will be looking at people from Jesus’ point of view. And by seeing people through Jesus’ lens, it will compel us to act compassionately toward them.

Detours
We have opportunities in life to take our usual route or to follow God’s prompting to take a divine detour. But this detour will not be easy. It will require us to disadvantage ourselves so that we can help someone else. By exploring the parable of the Good Samaritan we see that he decided to take a divine detour on his highway of life. It was a detour that took risk, personal involvement, time and money— all things we often use as excuses not to act.
