Luke 6:39-6:49

New View of Ourselves and God

This new view of ourselves and God leads to the question, who do you follow? Such choices reveal the heart and we will become like those people we follow. This section requires some delicate heart surgery and a willingness to face our own faults and failings. Jesus tells a story in this text of a blind man leading a blind man and then the problem of the speck in our brother's eye and the plank in our own. Join Pastor Lloyd in this house-call for the heart.Join us for Pastor Lloyd?s new series on the Gospel of Luke.

  1. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
  2. The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
  3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
  4. Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
  5. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
  6. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
  7. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
  8. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
  9. Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
  10. He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
  11. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
