Title: The Requirements of the Mission (33)
Series: Luke
Author: Zach Terry
Text: Luke 9:49-62
INTRODUCTION: Let me commend you for starting this new year out well - by gathering for Lord's Day worship. On this first Sunday of the new year, as a Church, we stand on the brink of some tremendous challenges and opportunities.

But he was more than a Prophet - and He had a mission that could only be fulfilled in one city on the planet - the city of Jerusalem.
Galilee was a rural area filled with small towns and villages. Jerusalem was a historic city of significant consequence.
It was literally a city sat upon a hill. The entire journey would be uphi ...
