In Luke 20v20-26, Jesus speaks to a profound issue that we all deal with. How do you live in the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of this Age?
When the people want a straightforward answer, Jesus invites them to a lifestyle that requires trust. You live in this world, but you belong to God. As you grow in trust you will grow in wisdom of how to partner with God in the renewal of this world until He returns.

On Sunday, we got to hear from one of our elders, Pete, on the Parable of the Tenants in Luke 20.
Jesus rebukes the priests through this parable for abusing the authority that they were given. They were supposed to love and steward God’s people, but they became entitled and chose to pursue their version of the kingdom without the King. They disregarded and killed God’s prophets, and ultimately the Messiah himself.
Even after this strong rebuke, Jesus extends mercy by telling them that if they are willing to “fall” upon Christ the Cornerstone, they can be saved & be apart of the new family that brings His kingdom.
The Lord disciplines those he loves (Proverbs 3:2). He only offers a rebuke out of mercy, for your good, so you can leave your flesh behind once again and follow Him.

This week’s passage from Luke 20v1-8 shows how Jesus uses his authority differently than the Pharisees, demonstrating the priorities of the kingdom of heaven.
Out of fear, the Pharisees use their authority to control people. Out of love, Jesus uses his authority to invite people back into relationship with the Father.
God always wanted relationship, and when we accept His love we are able to love Him back. From this place of relationship we are able to exercise our authority towards love, obedience and service.

This week’s message from Luke 19:45–48 reminded us that the church is meant to be a house of prayer, not a place to hide lives disconnected from God. Jesus confronts the temple, not Rome, showing that the real issue is spiritual compromise. We’re called to be living evidence of God’s presence - people carrying His character of compassion, grace, and justice into the world.

In Luke 19, Jesus tells a parable to juxtapose himself with Gentile rulers of the day. They come with power to dominate, but Jesus enters Jerusalem in humility to die for the salvation of the world.
Jesus’ eternal kingdom isn’t based around a physical place or earthly power, but on the Spirit of God filling human hearts. This is the only way to navigate the now and not yet of our life on earth.
To live with power and peace, is to go low, to need Jesus.

On Sunday we jumped back into our series on the book of Luke. In the beginning of chapter 19 we read a story about the salvation of a man named Zacchaeus.
In this story, Jesus highlights that Zacchaeus’ salvation has to do with being restored to the covenant family of Abraham. We all received this same invitation, to trust Christ like Abraham trusted Yahweh, and be grafted into the blessed family of God. Zacchaeus let Jesus come into his home that day, and shared a meal with Him that would change his life forever!
If faith in Jesus leads to consecration, let us be set apart again for His glory and His purposes.

This last Sunday we continued in our Pentecost series with a teaching from one of our elders, Austin Smith, on how the Holy Spirit helps us grow and become like Christ.
Throughout the Scriptures, we see that the Holy Spirit’s main job is to reveal Jesus. When the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus, we see the love of God and we get access to God’s power.
In the same way that we were saved by faith, we also grow in our sanctification by faith. As the Holy Spirit continues to reveal Jesus to us, we make ourselves available to this revelation and exercise our faith to believe that it’s true and that it still means something for us today.
His grace then empowers us to live into the holiness that we are called to. He does the heavy lifting as we keep our eyes fixed on Him.

On Sunday, Alex posed this question: How do you have a Spirit-filled and led people in a structure of church, authority, Scripture and interpretation, without quenching the activity of the Holy Spirit?
We learn in 1 Corinthians 12 that the gifts of the Spirit are there for the unifying and sustaining of God’s people in the age of the Spirit.
As we operate in the gifts, we discern together from our shared submission to the Holy Spirit what builds up in love and reveals Christ. Because we are humans, this will inevitably be messy, but we need the gifts and should humbly seek them out together.

On Sunday we continued in our Pentecost series with a teaching from Pete on Acts 1v1-9.
In this key passage we find Jesus expressing a promise to His disciples, that they will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Jesus explains that this baptism will bring power, which will enable them to fulfill their purpose as His witnesses in all the world.
We too, like the disciples, are invited to continually wait and pray for the filling of His Holy Spirit. When we are filled He will strengthen us to share the gospel, to cast out the demonic, to love our neighbor, to grow in holiness, and so much more.
Thank you God for being so generous in the outpouring of your Spirit, may we remain ever aware of our need for it.

As we look forward to Pentecost, we want to spend a few weeks exploring the third person of the Trinity, Holy Spirit.
This week, Alex shared how the Church is the family of God, living by the Spirit in every way, revealing the desire of God.
The people of God were always meant to live with the Spirit of God, as an apocalyptic community. The word apocalypse in Greek means “uncovering, disclosure, revelation.” We are meant to be a people who reveal the hope of resurrection and the glory of God in the midst of life on this earth. We reveal this through our dependence on Him and connection to Him
Our greatest blessing is to live with the Presence of God, His Holy Spirit.
