After The Mountain Top (22 of 68)
Series: 30 A.D. The Jesus Story
Pastor Mike Hodson
Luke 9:37-56

The Story:

The Danger Zones:

Over-reliance on Talent and Abilities
Luke 9:37-41, Luke 9:1-2, Mark 9:28-29, Matthew 17:20

Forgetting the Spiritual Battle is a REAL Battle
Luke 9:42-43

The "Center of the Universe" Syndrome
Luke 9:42-56

Navigating The Danger Zones:

The closer we get to Jesus,
the more his power and life flows through us

We have a great God,
but we'll still have great problems

Jesus doesn't kill our ambition,
he refocuses it

Don't try to be the best "you" that you can be;
try to be the best imitation of Christ you can be

Communion is one way we remind ourselves of all that he has done and all he's calling us to become. This week you may conclude Growth Group by taking Communion together. To prepare for this, take a moment to read Psalm 103:8-14 and 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 reflecting on the significance of Christ's forgiveness of our sins.
