Burn It to the Ground
from Pastor Rus Says Hosted by Russel Yoak
Pastor Rus Says Welcome to the Sermon Podcast for August 14th 2016 from 1st Lutheran in Shelby Ohio with Pastor Rus Yoak We all know that yelling fire in a crowded theater, when there is not fire, is both a bad thing and an illegal thing. What do we do then when the normally peaceful Jesus decided to do the theological equivalent? " Luke 12:49-56 12:49 "I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 12:50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 12:51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! 12:52 From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; 12:53 they will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." 12:54 He also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, 'It is going to rain'; and so it happens. 12:55 And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be scorching heat'; and it happens. 12:56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?"
