“A Sign? Really?” - Luke 11:27-36 - Feb 1st, 2026 - Pastor Scotty Brown

Pastor Scotty Brown continues in Luke 11, addressing the crowd's demand for a sign. While the people seek miraculous proof, Jesus points them to historical witnesses—Jonah and the Queen of Sheba—to show that the evidence is already present. The message emphasizes that true blessedness comes not from physical lineage or witnessing miracles, but from hearing and keeping the Word of God. Pastor Scotty outlines three illustrations Jesus uses: The Sign of Jonah: A foreshadowing of the resurrection. The Queen of the South: A rebuke to those who ignore God's wisdom. The Lamp of the Body: A warning to guard the "eye gate" against darkness. Believers are urged to fill their lives with the light of Christ, the ultimate sign given to humanity.
