Luke 10:1-24 - For Those Who Like Sermon Headings

My attempt to preach this passage is here.


Richard Bewes, Luke 10:1-16, All Souls’, Langham Place, The gospel through other eyes, 25/02/1996



(1) We are couriers of the kingdom (v1, v9) – messengers – the nature of the work



(2) We are labourers in the harvest field (v2) – the urgency of the work


(3) We are lambs among wolves (v3) – the hazards of such work – a costly, dangerous work

Steve Wookey, Luke 10:1-24 - Seeking the right response - Right on to Glory (Travelling With Jesus in Luke 10 - 11), All Souls’, Langham Place, 25/06/1995

  

4 things to learn about Christian mission:



(1) The purpose of this mission: to prepare for the coming of Jesus



(2) The principles of the mission



Vv2-16



(a) A need for companionship (v1)



(b) A need for workers (v2)



(c) The need for urgency (vv4-6)

  

(d) A need for sensitivity (vv7-8)



(e) A need for clarity (vv9-11)


(f) A need for conviction (v12ff) – the importance of this message


(3) Perspective: the priority of grace and heaven, not success in ministry (vv17-20)



(4) Privilege of revelation (vv21-24)



What do we pray for?



What are we convinced of?



What will we give ourselves to?



What do we rejoice in?

St Ebbe’s website, Journeying with Jesus: Proclaiming the message – Vaughan Roberts – Luke 10:1-16 – 15/9/13



Travelling with Jesus demands compassion and commitment, Jesus has said in chapter 9.

Travelling with Jesus also means proclaiming a message.



We don’t normally risk life and limb, but we do risk social embarrassment.

We risk awkwardness if we speak up about Jesus



3 great truths that Jesus teaches which will send us with a longing to proclaim Jesus



(1) God is in charge, not us – we can do it



V1



(2) The gospel is liberating, not oppressive – we want to do it



(3) Judgement is a reality, not a fiction – we must do it



V10ff

St Ebbe’s website, Journeying with Jesus: Appreciating the privileges – Vaughan Roberts – Luke 10:17-24 – 22/9/13



The journey with Jesus is a demanding, costly one, but it is also one full of joy with great privileges.



Privileges in which to rejoice:



(1) Spiritual power (v17)



(2) Spiritual security (v20)



(3) Spiritual insight (vv21-24)
