Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Luke 7: 1-17

From the Sermon:

Jesus had his own encounter with the phrase “_________________”.

The NRSV puts it this way, “He is ____________ of having you do this for him.”

We cannot earn ________ through a merit based system.

The centurion has an honest portrayal of himself, and then expresses truth in Jesus’s _________.

In Luke 7, Jesus had authority not over healing, but over _______________.

Jesus isn’t confined by our __________.

Reflection Questions:

What connections do you notice between the stories of the centurion and the widow?

We may want to say Jesus has authority in our lives, but do we live like it?

Prayer:

Lord, we confess that sometimes we substitute our ways and the ways of the world for your ways. We think we know what is best or demand what we think we deserve. Forgive us, O Lord. Let us seek first your way and your Kingdom. Amen.
