Title: Pursuing Humility & Service (7)
Series: Meals with Jesus
Author: Josh Malone
Text: Luke 14:7-14
- Wherever there are PEOPLE, there is SELFISHNESS & PRIDE. - It's on display in schools, ballfields, convention centers, work places, and yes ... even dinner tables.
- Everyone wants to look out for #1. People want to be promoted and exalted. People want to leverage things for their personal benefit.
- The flow of the world is this way ... "promote yourself, help yourself, look out for yourself. Seek to be served, not to serve. Look out for you, not for others."
- What comes natural to sinful humans is to be SELF-ORIENTED, not OTHERS ORIENTED. Sin turns us inward. Jesus transforms us ... so we can look up and love God ... and look out and love neighbor.
- In Luke 14 Jesus teaches us a BETTER WAY. - The way of Jesus and His Kingdom is different than the way of the world. - Jesus doesn't call us to have lives centered around us ... but pursue humility, to love God, and love neighbor.
- Last week we saw Jesus went to eat with a ruler of the Pharisees house ... while there he healed a man with dropsy (edema) on the Sabbath. - After this Jesus told a series of parables.
- Jesus in the middle of this meal chose to TEACH. He chose to CONFRONT.
- Jesus is going to CONFRONT the self-centered pursuits of His day and call people humility and service. Jesus modeled this as well. Today, He still callus us to walk the path of humility and service as opposed to self-centered pride.
Luke 14:1 - One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully.
- Context: Jesus at the ruler's house. The pharisees are watching Jesus. They likely hope to catch him in some mistake, error, etc. Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath and confronts the Pharisees over their wrongful views. They are silent. - Jesus then address the GUESTS and the HOST.
Luke 14:7-11 - 7 Now he told a parable to those who wer ...
