Got A Light? (29 of 68)
Series: 30 A.D. The Jesus Story
Pastor Chris Brown
Luke 11:33-54
The Problem With The Eye:
Luke 11:33-36
The Word and work of God is meant to be seen.
Ignoring the Word or work of God leads to spiritual blindness.
The Problem With Religion:
Luke 11:37-44
Religion leaves us externally clean and internally unchanged.
The religious want to be recognized for what they do, not for what's inside.
Religion forgets that there is a huge difference between our personal preferences and biblical principles.
The Problem With Legalism:
Luke 11:45-54
Legalism says "I'm a Christian because of my rules."
Legalism enslaves when Jesus came to set free.
Legalism would rather control God, than be controlled by God.
The Answer:
It is ALL about loving God and loving others.
Two Questions To Consider:
Would people say that I'm more religious, or more loving?
Would people say that I'm more concerned about rules, or
relationships?
