Sermon Notes

3) Excuses show that you don’t trust the Goodness of God’s invitation, 15-24

Reflection questions:

1. Read Luke 14:11. Now see Luke 18:14; Matthew 18:4; 23:12; 1 Peter 5:6. Why do you think humility is so important? What is humility a sign of? How does a humble man see himself? How does he see Christ? Also see Matthew 5:3-7; Ephesians 4:32; Phil 3:8-9.

2. What is true generosity? What clue does Jesus give in Luke 14:14. How are we able to show true generosity? (See 2 Cor. 8:9)

3. Consider the three excuses makers in Luke 14:18-20. Compare and contrast them to what Hebrews 11:24-26 says about Moses.
