Luke 7:1-10

Luke 7:1-10

  1. We should notice the KINDNESS of the centurion.
  2. We should notice the HUMILITY of the centurion.
  3. We should notice the centurion's FAITH.
  4. We should notice the advantage of being connected with godly families.

"Let us strive to have an eye ready to see, and a hand ready to help, and a heart ready to feel, and a will ready to do good to all. Let us be ready to weep with those who weep, and rejoice with those who rejoice. This is one way to recommend our religion, and make it beautiful before men."

Questions:

1. Do we strive to have an eye ready to see, and a hand ready to help, and a heart ready to feel, and a will ready to do good to all? Would others say this about us?

2. Would our family, friends, and co-workers describe us as humble? Do we strive for humility by the grace of God?

3. Do we cling to Christ’s promises like they are our only hope? Are we confident that what Christ said, He will do?

4. “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” Do we make decisions for ourselves or our children with this great truth in mind?

Hi! My name is Shaun Martens, and I have the joy of serving the local body of Christ called First Baptist Church of Calgary as one of its pastors. I am married to my beautiful wife, Madelyn, and together we have 5 children, 3 of which we have the joy of parenting. I created this podcast to make the edifying writings of J.C. Ryle more accessible in a listening and devotional format.
