• 0:12
  Hello, friends. Here we are a new day, a new
• 0:17
  chance to gather together in the quietness of whatever moment
• 0:21
  you've chosen to press play and you and I are going to do what
• 0:26
  the title of this podcast suggests.
• 0:28
  We are going to read a chapter today of God's word and we are
• 0:35
  reading through the Book of Luke.
• 0:38
  We are walking the streets with Jesus.
• 0:42
  We are hearing the objections. We are hearing the or and
• 0:46
  amazement of the crowds. We are sensing the growing
• 0:50
  disquiet in the religious leaders.
• 0:55
  And we are seeing Jesus gracious patience?
• 1:01
  And so full of energy to continually love and heal and
• 1:06
  today is no different. So join me, as we had back to
• 1:10
  hear and experience the Deeds of our savior during his Earthly
• 1:15
  ministry, as we read together, Luke chapter 10,
• 1:29
  The Lord now chose 72 other disciples and sent them ahead in
• 1:35
  pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit.
• 1:38
  These were his instructions to them.
• 1:41
  The Harvest is great, but the workers are few.
• 1:45
  So prayed to the Lord, who is in charge of the Harvest, ask him
• 1:49
  to send more workers into his Fields.
• 1:52
  Now, go and remember that I am sending you out as Lambs Among
• 1:56
  Wolves, don't take any money. With you Nora Travelers bag nor
• 2:02
  an extra pair of sandals and don't stop to greet anyone on
• 2:06
  the road whenever you enter someone's home.
• 2:09
  First, say may God's. Peace be on this house, if those
• 2:13
  who live, there are peaceful, the blessing will stand.
• 2:17
  If they are not the blessing will return to you.
• 2:21
  Don't move around from home to home.
• 2:23
  Stay in one place eating and drinking what they provide don't
• 2:28
  hesitate to accept. Hospitality because those who
• 2:31
  work deserve their pay, if you enter a town and it welcomes,
• 2:35
  you eat, whatever is set before you heal the sick and tell them
• 2:41
  the kingdom of God is near you now.
• 2:44
  But if a town refuses to welcome you go out into its streets and
• 2:48
  say we wipe even the dust of your town from our feet to show
• 2:54
  that we have abandoned you to your fate and know this the
• 2:58
  kingdom of God. God is near.
• 3:01
  I assure. You even Wicked.
• 3:03
  Sodom will be better off than such a town on Judgment Day.
• 3:06
  What sorrow awaits you chorazin and bethsaida for?
• 3:12
  If the Miracles I did in, you had been done in Wicked tire and
• 3:16
  sit on their people would have repented of their sins long ago,
• 3:20
  clothing themselves, and burlap, and throwing ashes on their
• 3:23
  heads to show their remorse. Yes, tire.
• 3:26
  And sit on, will be better off on Judgement Day than An you and
• 3:31
  you people of Capernaum, will you be honored in heaven?
• 3:35
  No, you will go down to the place of the Dead.
• 3:39
  Then he said to the disciples anyone who accepts your message
• 3:44
  is also accepting me and anyone who rejects you is rejecting me
• 3:49
  and anyone who rejects me is rejecting God who sent me.
• 3:55
  When the 72 disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him.
• 4:00
  Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name.
• 4:04
  Yes he told him. I saw Satan fall from Heaven,
• 4:09
  like lightning. Look, I have given you authority
• 4:14
  over all the power of the enemy and you can walk among snakes
• 4:18
  and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.
• 4:23
  But don't Rejoice because evil spirits obey, you rejoice
• 4:28
  because your names are registered in heaven.
• 4:33
  At that same time, Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy
• 4:37
  Spirit and he said, I'll father Lord of Heaven and Earth thank
• 4:42
  you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise
• 4:45
  and clever and for revealing them to the childlike.
• 4:49
  Yes. Father it pleases you to do it
• 4:51
  this way. My father has entrusted
• 4:54
  everything to me, no one truly knows the son except the father,
• 4:59
  and no one truly knows the father except the son.
• 5:03
  And Those whom the son chooses to reveal him.
• 5:07
  Then when they were alone, he turned to the disciples and
• 5:10
  said, blessed are the eyes that? See what you have seen.
• 5:15
  I tell you many prophets and Kings longed to see what you
• 5:19
  see, but they didn't see it and they longed to hear what you
• 5:22
  hear, but they didn't hear it. One day, an expert in religious
• 5:28
  law. Stood up to test Jesus by asking
• 5:31
  him. This question teacher, what
• 5:34
  should I do to inherit eternal life?
• 5:37
  Jesus replied? What does the law of Moses say?
• 5:40
  How do you read it? The man answered, you must love
• 5:44
  the Lord, your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your
• 5:48
  strength and all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself,
• 5:53
  right? Jesus told him do this and You
• 5:56
  will live the man wanted to justify his actions.
• 6:00
  So he asked Jesus and who is my neighbor?
• 6:05
  Jesus replied with a story. A Jewish man was traveling from
• 6:09
  Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by Bandits.
• 6:13
  They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left
• 6:16
  him half dead beside the road, but Chance a priest came along.
• 6:21
  But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other
• 6:24
  side of the road and passed him by a temple assistant walked
• 6:28
  over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on
• 6:32
  the other side. Then Spies Samaritan came along
• 6:37
  and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him, going over
• 6:42
  to him. The Samaritan soothe his wounds
• 6:44
  with olive oil and wine and bandaged them.
• 6:48
  Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn
• 6:51
  where he took care of him. The next day he handed The
• 6:55
  Innkeeper, two silver coins, telling him, take care of this
• 6:59
  man. If his bill runs higher than
• 7:01
  this, I'll pay you the next time I'm here.
• 7:04
  Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the
• 7:08
  man who was attacked by Bandits Jesus asked the man replied.
• 7:13
  The one who showed him Mercy. Then Jesus said yes, now go and
• 7:19
  do the same. As Jesus and the disciples
• 7:23
  continued on their way to Jerusalem.
• 7:25
  They came to a certain village where a woman named Martha
• 7:28
  welcomed him into her home. Her sister Mary sat at the
• 7:32
  Lord's feet listening to what he taught, but Martha was
• 7:36
  distracted by the big dinner. She was preparing, she came to
• 7:40
  Jesus and said, Lord, doesn't it seem unfair to you that my
• 7:43
  sister just sits here while I do all the work?
• 7:47
  Tell her to come and help me. But the Lord said to her, my
• 7:51
  dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details.
• 7:57
  There is only one thing worth being concerned about Mary has
• 8:01
  discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.
• 8:17
  Jesus. I hear these words spoken to us
• 8:21
  my dear child. You are worried and upset over
• 8:24
  all these details. There is only one thing worth
• 8:28
  being concerned about. Jesus, let us hear those words
• 8:36
  because there are lots of details that we do worry about,
• 8:42
  but ultimately you are the only thing that is worthy of our
• 8:47
  concern. Draw us back to our heart being
• 8:52
  focused exclusively on you and your kingdoms matters.
• 8:59
  Thank you for Mary for her example.
• 9:04
  And may we sit at your feet and at your feet.
• 9:08
  Be transformed to love and to live lives of your kingdoms
• 9:13
  purpose, not the worries, and details of our days and the
• 9:18
  things that seem so important. But ultimately a transient,
• 9:26
  Thank you, Jesus, for the clarity that you bring, we pray
• 9:30
  that you would continually transform us and it's in your
• 9:34
  name that we pray. Amen.
