Luke 19:41
As He [Jesus] approached and saw the city, He wept over it, saying, “If you knew this day what would bring peace – but now it is hidden from your eyes.”
Why this broken heart on this triumphant day?
- Jesus had clearly revealed His Deity
- Jesus had repeatedly called for Repentance
- Jesus had exposed the heart of His Enemies
- Jesus was foreseeing Jerusalem’s (His rejecters’) Future!
What does this mean for us?
- It’s not too late
- But . . . time is quickly passing by
Reflection Question
- Does your heart break when you look at the lost world?

Title: Dangerous Christianity
Series: The Road Less Traveled
Pastor John Black
Listening Guide
I. The Passage Outline
1. The Complication in the Corinthian Church (vv.1-4):
> Church Controversy
*The Cause:
Carnal Christians!
Identified by three characteristics:
1. Christians behaving like non-Christians (3:1-4)
2. Christians failing to grow spiritually (3:2)
3. Christians refusing to repent of sin (3:3-4)
2. The Cure for the Controversy (vv. 5-9):
> Selfless Service
3. The Cautionary Proclamation (vv. 16-17):
> Painful Purification
II. The Bottom Line
- Children of God are the temple of God.
- Collectively, the children of God make up the church of God.
- God’s church is Holy, therefore, we should all be Holy.
- Anyone who continually brings harm to the church can expect God to deal harshly with them.
III. The Reflection Question
* Am I living the life of a carnal Christian?
- Am I growing deeper in my faith?
- Am I creating any controversy in the church?
- Am I living for the mission of Christ or for the mission of me?
- Am I in danger of experiencing the purifying hand of God?
