Jesus is Not Your Homeboy (Exodus 3)
If faith in the gospel transforms us......why don't we obey Jesus?? 1.) We need to know who we are dealing with! Jesus is God and our God is a consuming fire! 2.) We need to know who we are! We are all sinners saved by grace and it is by that grace that we are consumed in the fire! 3.) Take your doggone shoes off! Draw near to God and be afraid! 4.) Let know who have ears......listen!

SETTING HEARTS ON FIRE! Encountering and Proclaiming the Resurrected Christ (Luke 24:13-35) 06-14-09
INTRODUCTION: 1. Today’s Topic: Witnessing. 2. The Gospel according to Luke (Some Highlights): --> Luke’s Purpose for writing: Emphasizing the historical-truthfulness of the gospel, which is offered to all people (Jew & Gentile), and the centrality of the person of Jesus Christ in salvation history; --> Some Major Themes in Luke: Salvation History (God’s saving work in human history) Lk 1:46-55, 68-79; 4:16ff; 24:25-27, 44-47; The Role of the Holy Spirit (Lk 1:35; 3:16; 4:1ff; 11:13; 24:49); The Poor (Lk 1:53, 6:20,30; 7:22; 14:11-21; 16:19ff); The Rich and the liability of Wealth (Lk 16:19ff); Women (Lk 7:11f, 37ff; 8:2f; 10:38ff; 13:11; 15:8ff; 18:1ff; 21:1-4; 23:37ff); Prayer (Lk 3:21; 5:16; 6:12, 28; 9:18, 28f; 10:21f; 11:1ff; 18:1ff; 22:40ff); Concern for Sinners (Lk 7:36ff; 19:1-10); Jesus as the Son of Man (Lk 9:58; 12:8; 18:8; 19:10). 3. A Definition of “the Gospel”: “… the embracing category that holds much of the Bible together, and takes Christians from lostness and alienation from God all the way through conversion and discipleship to the consummation, to resurrection bodies, and to the new heaven & the new earth.” —D.A. Carson. ENCOUNTERING AND PROCLAIMING THE RESURRECTED CHRIST: --> Thru God’s Sovereign Plan and the Spirit’s Power (vs13-16, 25, 30-35). --> By Meeting People on their Turf and Engaging Conversations (vs15-31). By Knowing and Explaining the Gospel and the Scriptures (vs21, 25-27). --> As Unlikely Witnesses Appointed and Empowered by God (vs22-24, 48-49). --> Thru Fellowship and over the Long Haul (vs28-35).

Unless I Wash You, You Have No Part With Me
Life comes at us fast. Change is all around us. But the question is: What is it all for? “Well I'm just trying to get to the place where I do the things I want to do”. Okay, but what is that all for? Try as you might, the only way you are going to find out what life is for is to find out from the one who made us. What Scripture tells us is that here in Jesus we have the one who made us telling us and showing us what he is about, what we are about and what life is about.
