Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, ‘We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.’ (Luke 18:31, NIV)
In the midst of the questions about who is in the kingdom of God, Jesus pauses and tells his friends that he is going to die and rise again, just as the prophets had written. They didn't understand what he was saying. Why is this here? Why is the death and resurrection of Jesus in the middle of the questions about who is in the kingdom of God? Because Jesus is the only way to be part of the kingdom of God. Why not come along on Sunday and find out more?

A certain ruler asked Jesus, ‘Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ (Luke 18:18, NIV)
This question is the most important one that anyone one can ask: how can I inherit eternal life? How can I know God? How can I know God's love? Why not join us this Sunday, as we see more about how to be part of the kingdom of God?

Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. (Luke 18:17, NIV)
The section of Luke that we're looking at together over the next few weeks focusses on who can be part of the kingdom of God. Last Sunday was the surprising revelation that the tax collector, not the pharisee, was justified by God. This week, Jesus gives the even more surprising news that the kingdom of God is received like a little child. Why not join us this Sunday as we see more about how to be part of the kingdom of God.

Jesus told this parable: ‘Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. (Luke 18:9-10, NIV)
Jesus starts a parable about two men going to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. By the time we get to the end of it, one of them goes home right before God, and the other does not. Which one is which would have surprised the original hearers, and might also surprise us. I hope you'll be able to join us this Sunday as we see how we can be right before God.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31, NIV)
What is God like? This Sunday, we will be looking together at what God is like? How do we know it, and what does it mean for us? I hope that you'll be able to join us as we look together at what God is like.
