Jeff Tacklind’s message on Luke 6:1-11
Sermon Notes:
“Look around you. In any city, even an old one, all that is visible now was not visible a century ago. Old houses get new skins, inside and out. Buildings come and go. Even in the wilderness, individual trees, bushes, and grass thrive and die, while entire ecologies shift across the landscape in a matter of a thousand years. Meadows morph into woods, woods age into mature forests. No matter where you stand, what you see is change. Our short lives blind us to this constant inconstancy.” Kevin Kelly, The Next One Thousand Years of Christianity
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION
How open are you to God doing something new in your life? How open are you to growth?
How willing are you to feel uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or like a beginner? Does the thought excite you or overwhelm you?
Is there a spiritual practice that is no longer bearing fruit in your life?
Is there something you are supposed to let go of? Something that you are supposed to rediscover?
What might God be inviting you to?
What is the state of your heart?
Is there any signs of envy, bitterness, jealousy, fear, anxiety?
How might Jesus speak to these fears? What is He already doing to soften your heart? How are you resisting?
