2 Chronicles 34-36, Psalm 150, Luke 12:49-59, 2 Thessalonians 3:14-18 Luke 12:49-59: The passage this morning contains summaries of three separate pieces of Jesus’ teaching. First, the necessary divisiveness of Jesus’ ministry of the cross (Luke 12:49-53). These words about Jesus coming to “cast fire on the earth,” or that he had come to bring about “division,” are surprising. What can Jesus mean?

by Dr. Josh Moody What makes a church healthy? This is importantly distinguished from what makes a church a true church. That would be a subject for another article.
