The Chicken & Cow Luke 9 Communion 6-3-2001

Sermon 6-3-01 Communion Luke 9

The Chicken, the cow, & the pig

Favorite Scripture…no way
Jesus not against these acts, just against excuses for following
People ran and hid when Jesus talked this way
Not that the kingdom fell without these folks, they missed the joy

Many ways to explain the commitment
path to joy that Jesus calls us to
Umc has done it by category
Prayers Presence Gifts Service

School is out, summer is starting, lets remember our commitment/let keep our joy alive

• Prayer/joyfully connects us to the heart of God

• Presence/joyfully connects us to one another

• Gifts/joyfully fill us with a sense that our priorities are right

• Service/joyfully connects us at a deeper level



This is all important because jesus made a complete commitment/found the joy
Heb 12:2

He did not follow the example of the cow or the chicken
He was sacrificed for our sin
Because he did not let the cup pass, we can share the cup
