IS THIS JESUS COUNTRY?


COL. 3:15-17, 1 PET. 3:15

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

As you drive around you may see bumper stickers or tags that say "This is FORD country", or "This is GATOR country." You might even see "This is NOLE country." My question is, is this Jesus Country? Is your heart Jesus Country? How about your work? Your home? Is your entertainment Jesus Country? You read in the book of Luke of several areas that had problems being "Jesus Country." Let's look because we might encounter the same problems.

 

I. THE PROBLEM OF FEAR [LUKE 8:26-36]

 

1. The Fear to be Feared [v. 26-37]

 

2. The Flag to be Followed [v. 38-39]

 

3. The Fact to be Faced [Mark 5:20, 7:31-37]

 

II. THE PROBLEM OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS [LUKE 9:51-56]

 

1. Their Perception [v. 51-53] earthly misunderstanding of a Heavenly mission

 

2. Their Prejudice [v. 52-53]

 

3. His Purpose [v. 54-56]

 

III. THE PROBLEM OF PRIORITIES [LUKE 10:1-20]

 

1. The Hopeless Sin of Not Receiving Christ [v. 1-12, Heb. 10:26-29]

 

2. The Horrible Sin of Not Representing Christ [v. 13-14, Ezekiel 33:6-8]

 

3. The Heavenly Satisfaction of Receiving & Representing Christ [v. 15-20]
