Sent Out in Clusters • Dreaming with the Beloved
Sermon Synopsis
What are the dreams or desires of Your heart, Jesus?
The Father made it clear. “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”. As Jesus rose from His baptism and was transfigured on the mountaintop, the Father’s heart’s desires found their “Yes and Amen” in Beloved God-Man,x Christ the Son.
But what has moved the Son of God’s heart? What has the Beloved set His longing upon and will we join Him?
As we start our 6th year as a gathered church family, we take time to revisit the vision – dreams the Beloved laid upon the heart of His people known as LegacyPoint – a part of His beloved people. Revisit the call with us upon all believers’ hearts as we peer into the life of the God-Man.
Chapter by chapter, we dive into each Gospel and rehash the key passages the Holy Spirit placed before us as a local church in our inception (Psalm 2:7-8; Ephesians 1:3-6, 7-10; Acts 2:42-47; Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 3:13-15, 31-35; Revelation 7:9-12).
Beloved Church, will you dream with the Beloved?
John 20:19–22
19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
Luke 10:1–20
10:1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.
16 “The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
