SCRIPTURE:

MAR 12, 2017 Series: THE SERVANT KING AND HIS UPSIDE-DOWN KINGDOM

Message: R-Rated Christianity

Scripture: Luke 9

Pastor Scott Peterson

As they were walking along the road, a man said to Him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.” He said to another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:57-62 Then He said to them all: “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?” … As the time approached for Him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. Luke 9:23-25, 51

“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.” Luke 10:5-6

NOTES: S________________ v. 57-58

S________________ v. 59-60

S________________ v. 61-62

S________________ v. 23-24

When we r________________ commit before-hand to the lifestyle of the cross, “self” and “LORD Jesus” are in their proper places.
