The Triumphal Entry
21 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant, 16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read,
“‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies
you have prepared praise’?”
Who Is the Greatest?
2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
For God So Loved the World
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Judging Others
39 He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Build Your House on the Rock
46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? 47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

LIVE MESSAGE: THE GOOD PERSON
Scripture: Luke 6:39–49 ESV
Pastor Philip Miller
What is a good person? It’s quite an important question. Have you ever felt like you knew someone who seemed like such a good person and then one day, it all came crashing down?
Have you ever wondered if you are a good person?
Consider these 4 parables that Jesus preaches in the Sermon of the Plain:
– The Blind Leading the Blind
– The Speck and the Log
– The Fruit and the Tree
– The House Built on a Rock
In each of these 4 parables, Jesus offers a critique and a calling, as he teaches us what it means to be a good person.
The Blind Leading the Blind
Critique: You’re helplessly lost in the dark.
– You can’t see to save yourself.
Calling: I’m here to lead you into the light.
– If you want to become a good person, you need to step into the light.
– Jesus is here to lead you into the light.
The Speck and the Log
Critique: You’re obsessed with the problems of others.
– A symptom of our spiritual blindness is easily identifying the sins of others while remaining oblivious to our own sins.
Calling: I’ll teach you to be responsible for yourself.
– Take the log out of your own eye, and then you’ll see clearly enough to help others.
– Because the biggest problem in your life isn’t somebody else, it’s you.
The Fruit and the Tree
Critique: You’re attempting behavior modification.
– Behavior flows from being.
– No amount of behavior modification will change the badness that’s in your heart.
Calling: I’m offering you heart transformation.
– I’m calling you to come to me because I can give you a new heart.
– If you want to become a good person, you’ll need a good heart.
The House Built on a Rock
Critique: You’re in for a catastrophic wipeout.
– A storm will come along that’ll expose your lack of foundation, and that “good person” image will collapse.
Calling: I’m giving you the blueprint for an enduring life
Takeaway:
Come to me. Hear my words. Do them. And live!
Benediction
Scripture: Matthew 16:24-25 ESV
Matthew 16 ESV and Audio
Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
