Sermons & Series - Difficult Words of Jesus
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DISCUSSING ON SUNDAY MORNINGS
Part 3 - October 31, 2021
The text for this Sunday is Mark 10:35-44 (NIV)
Why would Jesus use the word "slave" to his disciples instead of renouncing the practice of slavery? Is that a difficult word for you? Why or why not? How else could Jesus have said those words?
What other difficult words are found in this passage? What does this tell us about how we should be reading and interpreting words in scripture?
Join us as we continue to look at some of the more difficult words of Jesus*
Part 2 - October 24, 2021
We are continuing in our series on the Difficult Words of Jesus. And this week's is a tough one!
Last week in a part of the text we read Jesus cited the commandment "Honour your father and mother.”
This week we hear Jesus tell his disciples "Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple."
So which is it? Hate or Honour? And what if we are on the receiving end of the hate?
Text: Luke 14:25-33
