Tonight at Gs we talked about Luke 10 - 15... here is my description of the talk:
Lost... and the cost of being found... . As the second Christian short term mission trip returned (the 72 in Luke 10), they were amazed at what God had done through them. Even Jesus was amazed... enough so that he warned them that knowing and being known by God was way more significant that doing things for God...even impressive things. This concept sets up an exploration of faith that covers the next several chapters of Luke. What does it mean to be lost... to not know the Father... what does it mean to be found... what does it cost to really know God? Who is willing to pay the price?
It is mostly taken form Luke 10 and 15.


Also here are some good questions form this weeks reading if you are interested (the verses listed should help think about them):
1. Why is Sabbath such a big deal to everyone in Luke 6? Have you learned anything new about it this year during Jubilee?

2. How can Jesus possible mean that the poor and hungry are blessed? (Luke 6:20-23) How can he really mean that people who have plenty are the unfortunate ones. (Luke 6:24-26)

3. How in the world can God really mean that we are to love our enemies? Is it possible? Who would be the hardest person for you to love? How do you think that God keeps loving us, even when we reject him and sin alot. (Luke 6:27 - 36)

4. Why do you think that Jesus is so passionate about not judging other people? What do you think he means when he says to remove the plank from your eye first? (Luke 6:37-42

5. How do you think Jesus felt (emotionally) when faced with all of the hurt and needs around him? (Luke 7:13) How does he feel today about our needs? Does it effect life to know that God really cares?

6. Why did the woman “waste” the perfume on Jesus feet? (Luke 7:36-47) Why was Jesus so happy about it?

7. Jesus told a story about different kinds of soil, but he was really talking about peoples hearts toward him. What kind of
soil is your heart? (Path, rocks, thorns, or good soil Luke 8:1-15)

8. If Jesus can calm a storm, cast out a demon, raise a dead girl, and even heal a woman on “accident”, what do you need to trust him to do in your life? (Luke 8)

9. Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field (Luke 10:2) What does that mean? What is Jesus prayer asking for? How does it apply to you?

10. Why should we rejoice because our names are written in the book of life? What book is that, and what is the big deal about being written in it? (Luke 10:18-21)
