JESUS PIE
by Pastor Mike Fortune
April 1, 2017
  1. Live humbly (Luke 14:7; Psalm 25:8-9)
  2. God notices (Luke 14:8-9; Psalm 31:19-20; James 4:10)
  3. Theology can be held humbly too (Luke 14:12-14; 1 Corinthians 13:12; Micah 6:8; Sir Edmund Hillary; Colossians 3:12; Philippians 2:8)
Luke 14:7-9
7 When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit in the seats of honor near the head of the table, he gave them this advice: 8 "When you are invited to a wedding feast, don't sit in the seat of honor. What if someone who is more distinguished than you has also been invited? 9 The host will come and say, 'Give this person your seat.' Then you will be embarrassed, and you will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table!
 
Psalm 25:8-9 (Scripture Reading)
8 The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. 9 He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. 
 
Luke 7:10-11
10 "Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, 'Friend, we have a better place for you!' Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. 11 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
 
Psalm 31:19-20
19 How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. 20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues.
 
James 4:10
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.
 
Luke 7:12-14
12 Then he turned to his host. "When you put on a luncheon or a banquet," he said, "don't invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. 13 Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. 14 Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you."
 
1 Corinthians 13:12
All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
 
Micah 6:8
8 No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
 
Colossians 3:12
12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
 
Philippians 2:8
8   He humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross.
