Message: “Disruptive Authority: When Jesus Invades Religious Systems” from John Hall

Things are heating up in the gospel of Luke! This weekend we are picking up where we left off from last weekend. Our sermon text for Sunday is Luke 20:1-18 and the title of the sermon is "Disruptive Authority: When Jesus Invades Religious Systems." This passage of scripture is both disruptive and incredibly hopeful at the same time. The religious leaders hate Jesus' authority, and Jesus isn't backing down. This begs the question that we must ask ourselves, "Are we willing for Jesus to exercise his absolute authority in our lives, even if that means that everything changes?" Are we willing to let go of control over our lives, to stop playing religious games and begin to build our whole lives upon Jesus? This is the only appropriate response to the good news of the gospel. This message is disruptive in that when we follow Jesus, everything changes. It's hopeful that following Jesus is the most secure and sure foundation we could ever build our lives on. He is faithful and will bring us safely home.
