Series: Any Questions? (Episode 2)
31 July 2022
Luke 2:41-52
Even in a church where questions are welcome, do we need to consider what kinds of questions there are? Why did Jesus ask questions?
The second in a series on questions from the congregation. Apologies to all who join us online: the first is unavailable as we met in our fellowship hall the week prior due to the summer heat. Unfortunately, while there was air conditioning in that space, there was not sufficient recording capability.

Central Baptist Church has an active capital campaign to restore key aspects of our historic 1860's era building. This is partly for the historic value, but even more so we can more faithfully serve the community where God has placed us, using the resources God has given us. If you would like to participate in this good work, please visit our website, cbcsouthbridge.org, and designate your gift to "Ezra's Purse." Thank you.

Luke 15:11-32
The Prodigal Son parable takes the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin a step further. But also, we miss some important details when we focus on the son who ran away. Like, what about the son who stayed? And who's the real prodigal in all this?

Luke 14:7-24
Ever think about how except for that one time, Jesus must've been really awkward at parties?
To guests: Sit somewhere else.
To hosts: Stop inviting your rich friends.
Someone tries to redirect Him with talk about the Feast in the Kingdom. Jesus: Yeah, about that...

Luke 18:1-14
A stubborn widow hassles a corrupt judge for justice, an arrogant religious person tells God how awesome he himself is, and an immoral, unjust tax collector gets humble before God. Somehow all of this is connected to the Good News...and the crazy things that have been happening in the world lately.
