Rejected

Luke 20:9-18

Sermon Notes

Through Christ's death, God exalts Christ, saves his people, and judges his enemies.

I. Rejection of the Prophets

II. Judgment & Transfer of Custody

III. Christ's Exaltation & Our Salvation

Reflection Questions:

1) Consider how you are bearing fruits of faith & repentance. What areas of fruitfulness are closer to "top shelf?" In what areas might your fruit be a little "mushy." How might you best pray and take steps to firm it up?

2) What are some gifts you have in this life that contend with your love for the Giver Himself? Essentially, what are some of your idols? Comfort? Health? Material success? What would it look like to reorient the gift and the giver?

3) What are your areas of sin in which you are prone to say, "Surely not me!" or perhaps "Surely this time it will satisfy!"

4) How does identifying with Christ's rejection (the rejected stone) and his exaltation (being the cornerstone) help you in your walk?
