Morning: The sermon, "Authentic Worship," focused on Luke 19:37-40. Luke reminds his reader that the right response to Jesus is worship.
1. Those who know Jesus, worship. The disciples were joyful. They praised God. They did so loudly. Their praises were rooted in the work of God.
2. Worship is possible because Jesus came. Jesus was favored by God and did the Father's will. His coming to die and be raised to life brought peace between God and man. His coming caused him to be exalted to the highest place.
3. Genuine worship will always face opposition. The Pharisees opposed Jesus' disciples because they did not want Jesus as their Messiah.
4. If humanity fails to see and proclaim Christ's glory--the rest of creation will not.
Evening: Movie night.
