Jesus not only asks his disciples who the crowd says he is, but who do they say he is. Peter answers for the disciples by saying, “Jesus is the Christ, God’s anointed deliverer.” Jesus acknowledges Peter’s answer as true, but also as divinely inspired. He then calls for an extraordinary Christ to be followed with extraordinary devotion.

There is no more important question than Jesus' to the disciples. "Who do you say that I am?" Pastor Tim Smith explains our sinful tendencies for selfishness and acting as our own King, when in reality Jesus is the ultimate King.

On July 25th, 2010, Pastor Tim Gaydos preached from Luke 9:18-27 illustrating how Jesus calls us to follow him no matter the cost. Our identity should be rooted in Jesus Christ and true discipleship is a journey together with him.

Jesus takes the opportunity of an extraordinarily large audience to call his disciples into the action of caring for people. John 6 tells us that when Jesus tasks his disciples what they should do with the crowd, he was doing this to test them. Even though Jesus does the miracle of feeding the crowd, he distributes the food through his disciples, showing them that he provides for people through his followers.

How would you define or describe ‘community’? One way to describe it is that community is made up of people you eat with. The story of Jesus feeding 5,000 men shows us that the gospel community is a food network where the food is the body and blood of Jesus. In this message, you will listen and learn to answer the following questions: What makes the gospel community welcoming? Why is the gospel community a wearisome community? What makes it a wholesome community?

At the height of Jesus’ Galilean ministry in Luke 9:10-17, we see a profound portrait of who Jesus is, what he cares about, and what his mission is. We see that Jesus comes and speaks to us in the midst of our hunger and pain. What he says gives us a picture of the kingdom to come.

When his disciples return from exhausting journeys preaching good news, Jesus leads them away to rest and recover. Crowds arrive to foil these plans, however, prompting Jesus to host an impromptu assembly that begins with teaching and ends with a miraculous, mind-bending feast.

Jesus shares his power and authority with his disciples as he commissions them to proclaim the kingdom of God. Each of us responds to Jesus out of a sense of disequilibrium as either a combatant, a consumer, or convinced. Jesus invites the convinced to be commission as his ambassadors proclaiming the kingdom of God.

Everyone lives with a mission. Whether people recognize it or not, missional living is not just the latest description of Christians who are actively pursuing relationships with non-Christians. Mission is the ‘Delivery of Your Desire’ or your identity in action. Mission is bearing witness to what you worship. The important question is not whether or not you are on mission, but whose mission you are on. What do you want? Who do you identify with? are the questions you will answer as you listen to the message “Jesus Sends Out the Apostles” and unpack what ‘Gospel Mission’ is all about.

In this passage, Jesus sends out the twelve disciples to every town in the surrounding area to preach the Gospel. After spending a year living with and learning first-hand from Jesus day in and day out, his disciples are now called to go out and make more disciples. In the same way, we as Christians are called not to be mere consumers of the Gospel or of the resources made available to us. Rather, we are called to be spreaders of that Gospel. We need to move from being Gospel Junkies to being Gospel Dealers.

Christianity is about Jesus getting His glory in the lives His people live out before a fallen world with hopes that many would come to saving faith in Him. Pastor Chris Swan shares from Luke 9:1-9 on the sending of the Apostles and our responsibility to join in God's mission.
