Sunday 30th November 2025 // Morning // Luke 7:18-35 // The Offence and Wonder of Jesus

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Luke 7:18-35 at morning worship on Sunday 30th November 2025 in First Ards. John the Baptist, once so sure about Jesus, sits in prison confused and asks a question we all recognise “Are you really the One?” Jesus answers with evidence, broken lives healed, good news preached, and gently says, “Blessed is the one who isn’t tripped up by me.” Then he turns to the crowd, honours John, and exposes the heart that’s determined to resist no matter what tune God plays. Luke leaves us with a simple choice: either bring your honest doubts to Jesus, or fold your arms and refuse Him. Only one of those paths leads to life.
