Welcome! We are glad youre here! We invite you to seek out the folks wearing the Ask Me badge. Through them you will find information about the ministries of Salem Heights Church and how to become involved. Please fill out a Visitor Card and drop it in one of the offering boxes as you leave or scan this code to go directly to our website and fill out a visitor card. We have an excellent nursery and programs for children newborn through high school. Any of the ushers will be happy to direct you to the proper classroom. If you feel more comfortable having your infant with you during the service, the last row in the Auditorium will be reserved for parents with small children. There is a private room for nursing mothers across the hall from the Auditorium with a rocking chair, changing table and portable crib. For your convenience, it also includes a monitor to enable you to still hear and view the service.
Our Purpose...
To reach people with the love of Jesus Christ, provide a safe and
supportive environment, proclaim the standards of Gods truth,
duplicate the Christian life in others, and celebrate the majesty
and works of Our Great God.

Giving Update
THE MINISTRY OF SALEM HEIGHTS CHURCH The ministry of Salem Heights Church is funded entirely by the generous giving of Gods people. You will notice that we do not pass the offering plate; however, there are offering boxes in the back of the auditorium. We have done this so no one gives out of compulsion. We believe from the Word of God that the Spirit of God will lead people towards giving back to God of their first fruits. ...God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor. 9:7) and we know He blesses those who take His Word seriously in every regard. Thank you for prayerfully supporting Salem Heights financially as we desire to reach the lost and disciple the Saints.

LUKE Part 18
Luke 4:14-30
The Trail from Testimony to
Ticked Off!
Presented by
Pastor Justin Greene
March 8, 2015
The Christian community does not live from itself and
for itself, but from the sovereignty of the risen Lord
and for the coming sovereignty of him who has
conquered death and is bringing life, righteousness,
and the kingdom of God. Jurgen Moltmann
Who is Jesus, and what does he want with me? This
is the question that keeps coming up as we study the
Gospel of Luke. From the opening lines of his book,
Luke has been showing us Jesus. We have heard the
news of his virgin birth, witnessed his baptism as the
beloved Son, seen his struggle with Satan, and
listened to his preaching of the gospel. As we look
and listen, we are confronted with his claims. Luke
wants us to know for sure that Jesus is the Christ. But
-
do we believe that he is the God and Savior he
claimed to be? And if he is, are we willing to follow
him? These are questions we cannot avoid; we are
compelled to ask them again and again: Who is
Jesus, and what does he want with me?1
BACKDROP
Synagogues Came into existence as a result of Babylonian Captivity.
They followed a pattern Singing then reading
(Law Prophets) then teaching.
Jesus was active in ministry for about one year when this event took place.
His fame went from a rumor to a roar.
-
NOTE THIS!
Notice their Recognition of the Truth... They Testified.
The Poor Good News
The Captive Set Free
The Blind Received Sight
The Oppressed Lifted Up
Key: The Good News is consistently attached to freedom
from effects of the Fall.
Notice their Response to the Truth... They were in Turmoil!
Key: Christians consistently want God to do in us what He is
doing in other places.
-
Notice their Rejection of the Truth... They were Ticked Off!
Consider Elijah and Elisha:
In both situations the nation left its roots.
In both situations the answer to their need was rejected
because of packaging.
In both situations blessing happened, just out of reach,
but in their view.
Key: God was not active among His people because His
people did not care.
-
WRAP
Lets follow their trail.
Have you testified?
Have you felt the turmoil?
Recognition of the truth without a right response will lead to
rejection... Dont leave ticked!
