This document summarizes a sermon given by Jesus where he teaches his followers about loving their enemies, not judging others, and being disciples. Some of Jesus' key teachings included loving everyone, even those who don't love you in return; forgiving others as God forgives us; and acting with compassion instead of condemnation. He warned against hypocrisy and emphasized that true disciples live according to his words, building their lives on a firm foundation through obedience.

1. Luke 6:20-49 A sermon that doesn’t cater to the crowd

2. Blessings and Woes V. 20-22 Blessed means Happy Jesus reverses the norm V. 24-26 – Woe is an expression of grief (Sad) V. 23 – Do you want your reward on earth now or in the age to come? Your Choice!

3. Love Your Enemies V. 27-28 - The Love that Jesus COMMANDS here is a non-selective love based on the very nature of God Himself. Do you know when Jesus eventually demonstrates this kind of love for enemies? (He practiced what he preached.) V. 29-30 – Retaliation or protection of material possessions is less important than loving humans. V. 31 – Golden Rule = “Think of the kindness you wish others would show you; do the same for them.” –The Voice

4. Love Your Enemies V. 32-35 – Natural Love = What you do anyway without God. Human Nature. Love people because they love you. VS. God’s Love = Loving people who may not love you back. V. 36 – Compare this to Matthew 5:48, “be merciful” instead of “be perfect.”

5. Judging Others V. 37-38 – Judge Not – Maybe referring to the “religious” people of the day who were uncharitable to the sinners. Condemn Not – Don’t try and be God Forgive – Receiving God’s forgiveness is dependent upon a forgiving spirit towards others.

6. Definition of a Disciple V. 39 – If you ignore what Jesus says, its like the blind leading the blind. V. 40 – To be a Disciple of Jesus is to be like Jesus! *This is our theme verse for entire book of Luke. Luke is showing us through the book how to become a disciple of Jesus and what that looks like .

7. Don’t be Hypocritical V. 41-42 – This shows Jesus’ humor. The bizarre nature of this picture would force thought and reflection, which is what he intended.

8. A Test of Goodness V. 42-45 – It is all about what is in your heart!

9. “ Do What I say” V. 46-29 – House on the Rock = Listen to Jesus’ words and puts them into his or her everyday life. House on the Sand = Listens to Jesus’ words but does not put them into practice. No foundation
