Luke 10:25

“Do” and “Inherit” are separate concepts!

Luke 10:26-27

The lawyer sums up the Law as his action plan for achieving Eternal Life.

Luke 10:28

Fine. Do that. (Except you can’t.)

Luke 10:29

The lawyer wants to define the terms so it is achievable.

Luke 10:30-35

A man is beaten up and left for dead.

It is easy to justify not helping him – ritual purity over compassion.

The Samaritan, despised by the Jews, is the one who shows compassion.

The Samaritan does all that he can, not stopping short of any amount of care.

Who would be your “Samaritan”?

Luke 10:36-37

Jesus does not answer the question, “Who is my neighbor?” In the parable, it is the Samaritan who does the “neighboring”.

To whom must I become a neighbor?

We cannot do enough to meet Jesus’ requirements of loving our neighbor.

It is only through grace that we can receive and act on such love for others.

Luke 10:17-24

The Disciples come back from their Mission Trip on Fire!

Jesus Rejoices with Them

A Glimpse at the Spiritual War Jesus is fighting during his Ministry

The Victory is Won at the Cross, but battles are still waging today.

Jesus calls us to rejoice the most for what we receive from God without falling into pride.

What things are worth doing even though they are hard?

Luke 9:57-62

Following Jesus takes commitment to doing something hard!

The transition in Jesus ministry means more opposition and less comfort.

Luke 10:1-16

BEING A DISCIPLE OF JESUS MEANS BEING A KINGDOM WORKER

A KINGDOM WORKER strives to please God and make Jesus known in the world.

Step 1 – Take being a Kingdom Worker seriously.

Let go of your security blanket & trust God.

Step 2 – Be Peaceable.

Step 3 – Take the Weight off others.

Relationships are more important than rules.

A disciple’s presence should improve whatever environment they are in.

Step 4 – It’s a big deal when people reject the Gospel, but we leave judgment to God.

Jesus has strong words for towns that have witnessed the Kingdom work but rejected him.

Jesus does not call on his followers to do anything to enact judgment. It is in God’s hands.

Our focus is on our role as Kingdom Workers

What does the desire for greatness look like in our lives?

Lk 9:43-56

The desire for greatness overshadows Jesus’ true plan.

Jesus desires lifting up the least, not puffing up the self.

Blunder #1 – Failing to cast out a demon because of a lack of faith.

Blunder # 2 – Trying to keep control of who gets credit for Kingdom work.

Blunder #3 – Wanting to punish those who don’t follow Jesus.

Their blunders demonstrate how and why the Kingdom of God is different.

Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for sin and demonstrate a different form of greatness.

Who are we lifting up?

08/09/2026

Lk 9:37-43a

The disciples had cast out demons before, but now they fail. Why?

Compare Moses coming down Mt Sinai to Jesus returning from the Mt. of Transfiguration

God’s People had faith, but abandoned it when left on their own.

The world is evil and death reigns, even when not apparent.

Evil = Rebellion against God and his purposes.

Incarnation – like Jesus coming down from the mountain, he 1st came from heaven to enter the fray and rescue Creation.

We have been given victory by Jesus, but don’t always utilize the tools.

Eph 6:10-18

The Armor of God brings us to victory in our daily lives!
