A Clash of Kingdoms, Luke 13:10-21

Have you ever found yourself being greatly annoyed that someone does something that doesn't fit your expectations? Of course we all have. That's an experience that we all go through. If we slow down long enough and actually consider what's happening in the moment, oftentimes we realize we respond that way because we are bent towards self-righteousness and building our own kingdoms. We inevitably see people as either helps, or hindrances to our kingdom building projects. This is dangerous.

In our sermon text this weekend, Jesus goes face to face with the self-righteous hypocrisy that is in all of our hearts. And what we see is that Jesus has come to set us free and keep us free from the unrelenting tendency towards legalism and in the process he is determined to build his kingdom.

Read ahead Luke 13:10-21 as we prepare to study God's word together, and be in prayer as we prepare to partake in the Lord's supper as a church family.
