LUKE ‭5:17-26‬ ‭ESV‬‬

17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

18 And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus, 

19 But finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. 

20 And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” 

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 

22 When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? 

23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 

24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.” 

25 And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God. 

26 And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”

YOUR FRIENDS MATTER

 

 

Some “friends” pretend to be friends, but a true friend sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbs 18:24‬ ‭

Just as iron sharpens iron, a person sharpens the character of his friend.

Proverbs 27:17‬ ‭

 

 

GODLY FRIENDS WILL FIND A WAY WHEN THERE IS NO WAY.

 

 

TEAR THE ROOF OFF

 

“When four true hearts are set upon the spiritual good of a sinner, their holy hunger will break through stone walls or house roofs.”

- Charles Spurgeon

Life Lessons From The Gospel of Luke | Week 5 - Ps. Micah Pelkey

Luke 3

 

3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 

 

16 John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 

 

19 But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, 

 

20 added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison.

 

21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, 

 

22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

Repent: To turn or return. 

 

 

Mark 6

17 Herod himself had ordered his soldiers to arrest John and put him in prison. Herod did this to please his wife Herodias. She had been married to Herod’s brother Philip, but then Herod married her. 

18 John told Herod, “It is not right for you to be married to your brother’s wife.” 

19 So Herodias hated John. She wanted him dead, but she was not able to persuade Herod to kill him.

 

 

John 3

 

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

 

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

 

 

 

Romans 3:23 — All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Luke 2 

 

41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 

 

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 

 

43 And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 

 

44 but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, 

 

45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. 

 

46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 

 

47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 

 

48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”

Luke 3 (ESV)

 

3 And he (John) went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 

 

7 He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 

 

8 Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 

 

9 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”

 

10 And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” 

 

11 And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” 

 

12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?” 

 

13 And he said to them, “Collect no more than you are authorized to do.” 

 

14 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.”‬‬

 

• Repentance matters. Change matters

 

What is the one thing you want God to change in your life? 

 

Everything in your life may not change in one day, but one thing in your life can change today, that can change everything!

 

• You can choose comfort or change, but you cant have both.

 

The most important step is your next step!

Luke 2

 

36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 

 

37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 

 

38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

63 And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they all wondered.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 

 

11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 

 

12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 

 

13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 

 

14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 

 

15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 

 

66 and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
