LIFE LESSONS IN LUKE 7:39-501. WORK FROM A MOTIVE

Luke 7:39 “This man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching Him – she’s a sinner!”

Luke 7:48 “Your sins are forgiven.”

LIFE LESSON; LUKE 7:39-502. BUILD THE RELATIONSHIP

THE WASHING OF THE FEETTHE KISSING ON THE CHEEKTHE ANOINTING OF THE HEAD

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE IN LIFE, IN ORDER TO BRING THEM WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.

Foundational Principles1) God is everywhere and always at work

advancing His kingdom.John 5:18 “My Father is still working, and I am

working also.”John 5:19 “The Son can do nothing of Himself.”John 5:20 “The Father loves the Son, and shows

Him all things that He Himself is doing.”

For Group DiscussionQUESTION #1 : Can you think of a situation

where your Christian Values have conflicted with the values of the crowd?

QUESTION #2: Do you find it hard to develop a relationship with others because you are a Christian?

QUESTION #3: Are you intentionally seeking opportunities to develop relationship?

Foundational Principles2) Prayer is the key to seeing God at work

and showing people love.3) The harvest is abundant. Luke 10:2 The

harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into the harvest.”

MY SPLASH ZONEIn Luke 10:2, the passage suggests to us that

the Word in alive and as relevant today as when written. Before we can SHOW we must first ask: “To whom would God have me SHOW CHRIST?”

Pray now and ask God to give you the names of persons you can SHOW love to.

Foundational Principles4) Being a witness is not an option. Witness

is what we are before it is what we do! Luke 24:48 “You are witness of these things.”Just as the disciples were eye witnesses of the

earthly ministry of Christ and experienced something they could tell,

You and I have experienced the same empowerment those first disciples were given.

The Spirit of God testifies through us what God has done in Christ and allows us to SHOW others.

Foundational Principles5) We must get the salt out of the shaker.

Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty?”

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING. How many non-Christian relationships do you

have? How close are you to them?How should we balance our time with Christian

and non-Christian relationships?

Hallowed be Thy NameMatthew 6:9 “Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.”John 17:6 “I have revealed Your name to the

men you gave Me from the world.”

We must show Him if we are to be effective in sharing Him.

Learn from the MasterJohn 4 – Jesus shows the Samaritan woman

the Living Water.John 8 – Jesus shows grace to the woman

taken in adultery.Luke 19 – Jesus shows Zacchaeus a little

tenderness.

How do you show people love?What do the stories we looked at have in

common?How did Jesus’ behavior open a door for

further conversation?Who demonstrated the Gospel to you?What recent event in your life was a

demonstration of the Gospel?
