  Luke chapter 9, One day Jesus called together
• 1:32
  his 12 disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out
• 1:37
  all demons and to heal all diseases.
• 1:41
  Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the kingdom of
• 1:44
  God. And to heal the sick.
• 1:46
  Take nothing for your journey, he instructed them.
• 1:49
  Don't take a walking stick a traveler's bag, food money, or
• 1:53
  even a change of clothes, wherever you go.
• 1:57
  Stay in the same house until you leave town.
• 2:00
  I never Town refuses to welcome you shake its dust from your
• 2:04
  feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people
• 2:08
  to their fate. So they began their Circuit of
• 2:11
  the villages preaching, the Good News and Healing The Sick.
• 2:16
  When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee heard about everything.
• 2:20
  Jesus was doing, he was puzzled some were saying that John the
• 2:24
  Baptist had been raised from the dead.
• 2:27
  Others thought Jesus Was Elijah or one of the other prophets
• 2:30
  risen from the dead. I bareheaded, John Herod said,
• 2:35
  so who is this man about? Whom, I hear such stories and he
• 2:39
  kept trying to see him when the apostles returned.
• 2:44
  They told Jesus, everything they They had done, then he slipped
• 2:48
  quietly away from them toward the town of Bethesda, but the
• 2:51
  crowds found out where he was going and they followed him.
• 2:55
  He welcomed them and taught them about the kingdom of God.
• 2:59
  And he healed those who were sick late in the afternoon, the
• 3:02
  Twelve Disciples came to him and said, send the crowds away to
• 3:06
  the nearby Villages and Farms, so they can find food.
• 3:10
  And lodging for the night, there is nothing to eat here in this
• 3:13
  remote place. But Jesus said You feed them,
• 3:18
  but we have only five loaves of bread and two fish, they
• 3:21
  answered. Or are you expecting us to go
• 3:24
  and buy enough food for this whole crowd for there, about
• 3:28
  five thousand men there, Jesus replied, tell them to sit down
• 3:33
  in groups of about fifty each. So the people all sat down Jesus
• 3:38
  Took The Five Loaves and two fish looked up toward heaven and
• 3:43
  blessed them then breaking the lives into Pieces, he kept
• 3:47
  giving the bread and fish to the disciples so they could
• 3:50
  distribute it to the people. They all ate as much as they
• 3:54
  wanted. And afterward the disciples
• 3:56
  picked up twelve baskets of leftovers.
• 4:01
  One day, Jesus left, the crowds to pray alone, only his
• 4:05
  disciples are with him. And he asked them, who do people
• 4:08
  say I am well, they replied some say, John the Baptist some say
• 4:14
  Elijah and others, say you're one of the other ancient
• 4:18
  prophets risen from the dead. Then he asked them, but who do
• 4:22
  you say? I am Peter replied.
• 4:25
  You are the Messiah sent from God, Jesus warned, Disciples not
• 4:31
  to tell anyone who he was the son of man must suffer many
• 4:35
  terrible things. He said he would be rejected by
• 4:39
  the elders, the leading priests and the teachers of religious
• 4:42
  law, he will be killed. But on the third day, he will be
• 4:46
  raised from the dead. Then he said to the crowd.
• 4:50
  If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your
• 4:54
  own way. Take up your cross daily and
• 4:57
  follow me if you try to hang on to your life, Life, you will
• 5:01
  lose it but if you give up your life, for my sake, you will save
• 5:06
  it. And what do you benefit if you
• 5:08
  gain the whole world? But our yourself lost or
• 5:11
  destroyed. If anyone is ashamed of me and
• 5:15
  my message, the son of man will be ashamed of that person when
• 5:19
  he returns in his glory and in the glory of the father and the
• 5:23
  Holy Angels, I tell you the truth.
• 5:26
  Some standing here right now will not die before they see the
• 5:30
  kingdom of God. About eight days later.
• 5:34
  Jesus Took Peter John and James up on a mountain to pray.
• 5:39
  And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was
• 5:42
  transformed and his clothes became dazzling white suddenly
• 5:48
  two men Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with
• 5:52
  Jesus. They were glorious to see and
• 5:57
  they were speaking about his Exodus from this world which was
• 6:01
  about to be fulfilled in. Aslam Peter and the others had
• 6:04
  fallen asleep. When they woke up, they saw
• 6:09
  Jesus. Glory and the two men standing
• 6:12
  with him as Moses, and Elijah were starting to leave Peter.
• 6:17
  Not even knowing. What he was saying, blurted out
• 6:20
  Master. It's wonderful for us to be
• 6:22
  here. Let us make three shelters as
• 6:24
  memorials, one for you, one, for Moses, and one for Elijah, but
• 6:29
  even as he was saying, this, a cloud overshadowed them and
• 6:34
  Terror gripped them as the cloud covered them.
• 6:37
  Then a voice from the cloud said.
• 6:39
  This is my son. My Chosen One.
• 6:43
  Listen to him. When the voice finished, Jesus
• 6:48
  was there alone? They didn't tell anyone at that
• 6:52
  time, with that scene. The next day after they had come
• 6:58
  down the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus, her man, in the
• 7:02
  crowd, called out to him teacher.
• 7:04
  I beg you to look at my son, my only child, an evil spirit,
• 7:08
  keeps seizing him, making him scream it, throws him into
• 7:12
  convulsions, so that he Foams at the mouth.
• 7:15
  It basses him and hardly ever leaves him alone.
• 7:18
  I begged your disciples to cast out the spirit but they couldn't
• 7:21
  do it. Jesus said, you faithless and
• 7:25
  corrupt people. How long must I be with you and
• 7:29
  put up with you, then he said to the man, bring your son here.
• 7:34
  As the boy came forward. The demon knocked him to the
• 7:37
  ground and threw him into a violent convulsion, but Jesus
• 7:41
  rebuked, the evil spirit and healed, the boy, and gave him
• 7:45
  back to his father, or gripped, the people as the saw this
• 7:49
  Majestic display of God's power While everyone was marveling at
• 7:54
  everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, listen to
• 7:59
  me. And remember what I say, the son
• 8:02
  of man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies
• 8:06
  but they didn't know what he meant.
• 8:09
  It's significance was hidden from them so they couldn't
• 8:11
  understand it and they were afraid to ask him about it.
• 8:16
  Then his disciples began arguing about which of them was the
• 8:19
  greatest but Jesus knew their thoughts.
• 8:22
  So he brought a little child to his side.
• 8:25
  Then he said to them. Anyone who welcomes a little
• 8:29
  child like this, on my behalf, welcomes me.
• 8:32
  And anyone who welcomes me also, welcome as my father who sent
• 8:36
  me, whoever is the least among you is the greatest.
• 8:43
  John said to Jesus Master. We saw someone using your name
• 8:49
  to cast out demons, but we're told him to stop because he
• 8:53
  isn't in our group, but Jesus said don't stop him.
• 8:57
  Anyone who is not against you, his for you.
• 9:02
  As the time grew near for him, to ascend to Heaven, Jesus
• 9:05
  resolutely set out for Jerusalem, he sent Messengers
• 9:09
  ahead to a Samaritan Village to prepare for his arrival.
• 9:13
  But the people of the village did not welcome.
• 9:15
  Jesus. Because he was on his way to
• 9:17
  Jerusalem. When James and John saw this,
• 9:20
  they said to Jesus Lord, should we call down fire?
• 9:24
  From heaven to burn them up but Jesus turned and rebuked them.
• 9:29
  So they went on to another Village.
• 9:32
  As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, I will
• 9:36
  follow you wherever you go, but Jesus replied.
• 9:41
  Foxes have dens to live in and birds have nests but the son of
• 9:45
  man has no place even to lay his head.
• 9:49
  He said to another person come follow me.
• 9:52
  The man agreed but he said, Lord first let me return home and
• 9:57
  bury my father but Jesus told him let the spiritually dead
• 10:02
  bury. Their own dead.
• 10:04
  Your duty is to go and preach about the kingdom of God.
• 10:08
  Another said yes Lord I will follow you but first let me say
• 10:12
  goodbye to my family but Jesus told him Anyone who puts a hand
• 10:16
  to the plow and then looks back. He's not fit for the kingdom of
• 10:21
  God. Thank you, Jesus.
• 10:32
  That you remind us of how important and Central is the
• 10:37
  work of your kingdom. We get so bombarded with the
• 10:44
  things of this life and it totally consumes our Focus so
• 10:48
  often. But just as Peter John and James
• 10:52
  saw as you were transfigured on that.
• 10:54
  Mountainside this world is but a mere shadow of the true Kingdom
• 10:58
  that lies Beyond where you are dazzling in your glory, your
• 11:04
  kingship and your godliness. Lord shift, our heart, take out
• 11:11
  that blockage from our spiritual arteries so that we can truly
• 11:17
  see you in all your glory place. You at the highest place of
• 11:22
  priority in our life and live for you and your kingdom above
• 11:26
  everything else. And when we get it wrong thank
• 11:31
  you that you continue to love us and forgive us shape us, mold
• 11:36
  us. Draw us into Orrin price.
• 11:39
  We pray this Jesus in your name. Amen.
