Nathan Walker delivered the message this week:
Luke 13:22-30
Key Verse: 24
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.”
Last week, as some of you know, we had the first ever marathon in this town. I love people who want to run a marathon because its such a crazy idea, and really who cares if you can do it or not? But it’s the honor and the challenge. People will literally cause themselves bodily harm to finish the race, and sometimes at the finish line, they have serious medical problems. I love to see the close-ups of their faces in miles 18-22 when the going really gets tough, and then see the elation on the other side of the finish line. These runners strive to finish, some of them strive to beat their times or to beat others in the race.Do we strive the same way for an eternal goal, the kingdom of God? Hmmm. In this passage someone asks Jesus about who will be saved and Jesus tells a story about the kingdom. This section of Luke is full of stories about the kingdom, especially about how the kingdom works and how people get in. More:
