The unstoppable growth of God’s kingdom

Luke 13:10-21

• A tragic seemingly hopeless situation of brokenness and Satan’s work (10-11)
• A seemingly hopeless situation transformed by Christ’s touch (12)
• A rejection of Christ’s transforming work due to wonky theology (14)
• A hypocritical heart exposed (15-16)
• Acts of Mercy on the Sabbath
• Contrasting reactions to the coming of Christ’s kingdom (17)
• An explanation of the nature and growth of God’s kingdom (18-21)

Application

• The danger of missing the kingdom of God
• People don’t truly know the message of the gospel.
• The danger of a powerless kingdom of God
• Over- and under-realised eschatology.
• Weariness and cynicism
