    Luke 24:13-35 Long Form Now That Very Day

    Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer and so enter into his glory? Luke 24:13-35 Long form Now that very day the first day of the week two of the disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. He asked them, "What are you discussing as you walk along?" They stopped, looking downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?" and he replied to them, "What sort of things?" They said to him, " The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides, all this, it is now the third day since this took place. Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive. Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see." And he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures.
  • Introduction to Community Groups

    Introduction to Community Groups

    INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY GROUPS WHAT IS A COMMUNITY GROUP? Community groups are small gatherings of people (Christian and non) that meet regularly for friendship, accountability, study and prayer, laughter, and occasionally tears. Community groups are an essential expression of the mission of Mars Hill Church. They’re a place where we learn more about Jesus and life together. They’re the place where we wrestle with the truths of the Bible and encourage one another toward the life that God intends for us. Each community group is unique, shaped by its neighborhood and the people who attend. However, you can expect a weekly gathering in a residence that involves food, conversation, prayer, discussion for applying the Bible to practical living, and service in the neighborhood. At the heart of each community group is the desire to see an authentic community marked by love for Jesus, one another, and the neighborhood. WHY SHOULD I JOIN A COMMUNITY GROUP? The God of the Bible is a Trinitarian God who is one and three persons: Father, Son, and Spirit. God has made us in his image, which means we are made for community and friendship. And when we are not living in community we suffer because life in a sinful world is too complex and tempting to journey alone. Therefore, community groups are a place where we can live in relationship with one another through the ups and downs of life. HOW DO I GET CONNECTED TO A COMMUNITY GROUP? The easiest way to get connected is on Sunday: before or after the service, stop by the info desk at the campus where you attend.

    1 Ted Kirnbauer Luke 20:1-26 6/18/17 Jesus Had Entered

    1 Ted Kirnbauer Luke 20:1-26 6/18/17 Jesus had entered Jerusalem on Sunday with robes and branches laid before Him and shouts of praise for “the King who comes in the name of the Lord” (Lk. 19:28 ff.). He then left the city and returned the following day (Monday) when He cleansed the temple (Lk. 19:45-48). The events in 20:1-21:36 occur on Tuesday. In the controversies that follow, we see that Jesus is in control of the events surrounding His final visit to Jerusalem. 20:1 On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him, 20:2 and they spoke, saying to Him, "Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?" 20:3 Jesus answered and said to them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell Me: 20:4 "Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?" 20:5 They reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Why did you not believe him?' 20:6 "But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet." 20:7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from. 20:8 And Jesus said to them, "Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things." Luke 20:1-8 centers on Jesus’ authority.

    Patience and Power Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:1-11 May 28, 2017 – Seventh Sunday of Easter

    Patience and Power Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:1-11 May 28, 2017 – Seventh Sunday of Easter Last Thursday was Ascension Day, forty days after Easter. the day that Luke tells us the risen Christ ascended to heaven. Our United Methodist Tradition does not celebrate the Ascension in a major way. But the Ascension of Jesus to heaven is hugely important. First, it’s important for theological reasons. The Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was not created on the first Christmas. No, those three persons, what I’ll call the three natures of God always existed and always will exist. The first verses of John’s Gospel confirm – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. and the Word became flesh and dwelled among us.” Indeed the Word, that is Jesus Christ always existed and always will exist. Neither was the Holy Spirit created at Pentecost; and I’ll say a lot more about that next week; but, today I’ll simply note that the first verses of Genesis confirm – “In the Beginning when God created heaven and earth. the Spirit of God moved across the face of the waters.” Indeed the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit always existed. But back to Christ… Christ, the Son, always existed, at one with God. On the first Christmas, twenty-one hundred years ago, Christ, the Word, became flesh and blood, that we might have an ever closer relationship with the divine. So, theologically, the Ascension is important; because, as Jesus states repeatedly, most especially in the Gospel of John, it is necessary for him to return to the father, it is necessary for him to return to his oneness with God.

She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

    The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University

    The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon On the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University The Sermon on the Mount recorded in Matthew 5-7 is probably one of the best known of Jesus’ teachings recorded in the Gospels. This is the first of the five discourses in Matthew that Jesus delivered on an unnamed mount that has traditionally been located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum, which is today marked by the Church of the Beatitudes. New Testament scholarship has treated the Sermon on the Mount as a collection of short sayings spoken by the historical Jesus on different occasions, which Matthew, in this view, redactionally put into one sermon.1 A similar version of the Sermon is found in Luke 6:20-49, known as the Sermon on the Plain, which has been commonly regarded as a Lucan variant of the same discourse. 2 The position taken in this paper is, first of all, that the Matthean and Lucan versions are two different sermons with similar content delivered by Jesus on two different occasions. 3 Secondly, it seems almost certain that the two discourses are summaries of much longer ones, each with a different emphasis, spiritual and physical respectively. Whatever position one takes, it appears that the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew is not just a collection of randomly selected pieces; the discourse displays one coherent literary theme. The Sermon is introduced with the Beatitudes, which are concluded with a couplet of short metaphoric parables on salt and light.

    Lesson 59 Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ Luke 24 “Believe in the Son of God, that he will come to redeem his people, and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins; and that he shall rise again from the dead, which shall bring to pass the resurrection, that all men shall stand before him, to be judged at the last and judgment day” (Alma 33:22). “He is Not Here” After the day of the Sabbath when Mary Magdalene and other women came to the Savior’s tomb on Sunday morning, they found the body of Jesus gone. Two heavenly messengers reminded them that Jesus had spoken to them about his death and Resurrection while they were in Galilee. At that time He had testified, “The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again” Luke 24:1-7; Matthew 17:22-23 (1) “Go Quickly” “…tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him; lo, I have told you.

    The Gospel of Luke

    Cornerstone Bible Studies, Inc. The Gospel of Luke Lesson 35 The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem publicly marked the coming of God Incarnate to His people as their long-expected Messiah, Redeemer and King. While there was excitement and great joy among the people, there was deep sadness in the Son of God, for He knew that His own people would neither recognize nor receive Him. As Jesus approached the city, He wept over it and lamented “…if you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you” (Luke 19:41-44). This judgment of God resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 and the withdrawal of the commission of Israel as God’s ambassadors of salvation to the world. That commission would be passed on to Gentiles, who would believe in Jesus as the Christ. Before beginning to study, ask God to provide insight and understanding so that you may mature as an ambassador of God’s mercy and grace to a needy world. 1. Read Luke 20:1-8. A.

Understanding the role of the Twelve Apostles is crucial to understanding the Church. Their names are on the foundations of the gates of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:10-14) and they will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:22-30). But yet, they did not just fall out of the sky on Pentecost ready to evangelize the earth. And the Holy Spirit at Pentecost was not just a magic elixir that enabled them to do anything. Rather, they had some struggles of their own that they needed to go through. And the Lord spent time with them to train them in what they should do. And the Holy Spirit then enabled them to do that. Today, we will look at some of the training the Lord used to prepare them for Pentecost.
