Luke: Follow Jesus - Mountaintops and Messes


Aug 03, 2025Dave TookerLuke: Follow JesusLuke 9:37-56

Notes Outline

OUTLINE:

  • Self Reliance (Luke 9:37-42)
  • Self Image (Luke 9:43-45)
  • Self Advancement (Luke 9:46-48)
  • Self Protection (Luke 9:49-50)
  • Self Righteous (Luke 9:51-56)

QUESTIONS:

  1. (Luke 9:37-42) Where are you tempted to rely on your own strength or experience rather than on Jesus? What does true dependence on Jesus look like in your daily life? (John 15:5)
  2. (Luke 9:43-45) A focus on our image blinds us to the mission and message of Jesus. How can a desire to ‘look good’ keep us from hearing the hard truth from Jesus?
  3. (Luke 9:46-48) Greatness in Jesus’ kingdom comes from picking up a towel, not a title. Where do you see the temptation to ‘be the greatest’ in your own heart?
  4. (Luke 9:49-50) Do you ever struggle to celebrate others successes? Are there ways you’ve tried to ‘protect your turf’ instead of celebrating others doing God’s work?
  5. (Luke 9:51-56) Has your passion for truth ever lacked compassion? Where does self-righteous judgement and self-justification show up in your heart? What group of people would you be comfortable calling fire down on? How can you pray for them today?
