A Different Kind of King

Over the last week we invited the church to read Luke 1:1-9:51 together. Today's sermon seeks to capture some of the major themes of this portion of Luke's Gospel The first is that Jesus set us an example of how to live by leaving Heaven and giving up being in very nature God to become a baby human. Throughout Luke are stories where Jesus, by teaching and example, calls his disciples to give up their own pursuit of personal greatness to exalt God and to lift up others. When we are able to do this, God truly will exalt us with Christ on the last day.
