Sermon

        Text: Luke 14:1, 7-14

        Theme: The Call to be Distinct

The Christian life is one of humility.  While the world around us stresses self-promotion, the Christian knows his only boast is in the Lord.  Solomon and Christ emphasize the humbleness of being a child of God, and the writer to the Hebrews reminds us to look beyond ourselves in love and sympathy toward others.

THE FIRST LESSON: Proverbs 25:6,7

Self –exaltation has no place in the life of God’s child.

THE PSALM OF THE DAY: Psalm 119a

“Blessed” or happy is the person who seeks the Lord with all his heart.  He will never be put to shame.

THE SECOND LESSON: Hebrews 13:1-8

The Christian properly channels his love by extending it to people and withholding it from money.

THE GOSPEL LESSON: Luke 14:1, 7-14

In Christ’s kingdom, conventional thinking is turned upside down.  He exhorts us to attain greatness through humility and to be most generous when there is no chance for repayment.
