Luke 7:11-17

In Luke 7:11–17, Jesus encounters a grieving widow whose world has been shattered by the death of her only son. Moved by compassion, Jesus does the unthinkable: He raises her son from the dead, demonstrating both His tender heart and His divine authority over death itself. This remarkable miracle reminds us that Jesus has both the compassion to care and the power to save. As we encounter the compassionate and powerful Saviour, we are invited to receive His compassion, reflect it to others, and trust Him with both our lives and our eternity.

Luke7:11-17

Effective Christian witness is telling the story of Jesus’ life by living, in true Christian community, what He lived and valuing what He valued – a life of love, kindness, and compassion. As we communicate God’s heart to the world, interested crowds will become committed disciples, incarnating the same love and compassion that Jesus, God Incarnate, has.

Luke 7.11-17

When Jesus raises the only son of a widow back to life, He does so with compassion and power. This sermon contends that Jesus being both compassionate and powerful makes all the difference in the world and makes Him the Saviour you want and need.

Luke 7:1-10

A Roman centurion grasps a profound spiritual reality when he asked Jesus to heal his servant: Just as soldiers obey his commands instantly, so Christ’s word alone accomplishes healing without physical presence. His combination of faith and humility, marked by a confession of unworthiness, demonstrates the very worthiness that saves, and reveals his understanding that salvation’s foundation rests not on external worthiness but on recognizing Christ’s absolute authority.

Luke 7:1-10

There are two accounts in the New Testament of Jesus being amazed by the faith of people. One time was amazement at the lack of faith. The other amazed at great faith. It is this example of faith by a Roman Centurion that is a great reminder to us how we aren’t saved by our faith but by the one in whom we place our faith.

Luke 7:1-10

What kind of faith causes Jesus to marvel? In Luke 7, an unlikely Roman centurion shows us that genuine faith is more than knowing about Jesus. It recognizes His authority, understands our own unworthiness, and trusts Him enough to take Him at His Word. This remarkable encounter challenges us to ask: Do we simply know about Jesus, or do we truly trust Him?

Luke 6:43-49

Not everyone who claims to follow Jesus is a genuine disciple of Jesus. In Luke 6:43–49, Jesus challenges us to examine both the fruit of our lives and the foundation upon which we are building, because our words and works reveal the true condition of our hearts. Genuine faith will inevitably produce a life increasingly characterized by obedience to Christ. Ultimately, the storms of life and the final judgment will reveal whether we have truly built our lives upon Jesus.

Luke6:43-49

Jesus closes the Sermon on the Plain with a question: “Why do you call me‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” This morning, we look at two parables that Jesusgives us. One about a tree and its fruit, and the other about two builders and their houses.Both parables call us to to take a look at our lives and see what they reveal about what wetruly believe and what our lives are built on. Jesus shows us that genuine faith is not foundin what we say, but in whether our lives are rooted in Him and shaped by His words.
