Passage: Luke 9:1-27

-------------------

Surprising salvation\r\n- Kingdom People - Luke 9v1-27 (page 1039)\r\n\r\nA True Story\r\n\r\nThe Beauty of the Kingdom\r\n- Reversing the Curse\r\n‘On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces.’ Isaiah 25v7-8\r\n\r\n- Enjoying God\'s blessing\r\n‘On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine – the best of meats and the finest of wines.’ Isaiah 25v6\r\n\r\nThe Suffering of the King\r\n- Jesus is King\r\nA man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. CS Lewis \r\n\r\n- Jesus must suffer\r\n\r\nThe People of the King\r\n- Put self to death\r\n‘To deny ourselves is to behave towards ourselves as Peter did towards Jesus when he denied him three times. He disowned him, repudiated him, turned his back on him. Self denial is actually denying or disowning ourselves, renouncing our supposed right to go our own way.’ John Stott\r\n\r\n- Live for Christ\'s glory\r\nPray for the expansion of God\'s Kingdom\r\nGive your financial resources to God\'s Kingdom\r\nLive your life for God\'s Kingdom

Surprising Salvation\r\n- Certain Truth Luke 1v1-4 (page 1025)\r\n\r\nFake News\r\n‘...that the New Testament—and the Gospels in particular—don’t provide a trustworthy account of the historical Jesus. Instead, what we have are books that are forgeries, contain contradictions, have morally questionable teachings, and have been edited and changed through the centuries.’ Dr Bart Ehrman\r\n\r\n1.

Careful Investigation\r\n- Oral Tradition\r\n- Eyewitnesses\r\n‘...many of the eyewitnesses to Jesus, Life, death, and resurrection were still in wide, active circulation during these years, able to function as trusted, authoritative sources and guardians of the tradition – a commonly revered practice and presence in oral societies.’\r\nRichard Bauckham \r\n\r\n3.
