Jesus Lord Of The Sabbath | Luke 6:1-11 | Pastor John Miller

Are religious rules more important than people? In this challenging study of Luke 6:1–11, Pastor John Miller explores two dramatic Sabbath-day encounters that brought Jesus into direct conflict with the religious establishment. Whether in the grain fields or the synagogue, Jesus consistently prioritized human need and mercy over man-made legalistic traditions. Pastor John explains why the "Son of Man" claimed to be the authoritative interpreter of the Sabbath and how His actions revealed the heart of God. Discover the dangers of legalism—a "fleshly attitude" that exalts self while becoming critical and judgmental toward others. From David eating the showbread to Jesus healing a withered hand, this message teaches us that "good omitted is evil committed" and that true Christianity is about entering the spiritual rest of Christ's finished work. In this study, you will discover: - The Granola Breakfast: Why the disciples weren't breaking God’s Law in the wheat fields, but were violating the Pharisees’ extra-biblical rules. - The Example of David: How God’s concern for human survival overrides religious ritual (1 Samuel 21). - The Theology of the Sabbath: Why the Fourth Commandment was made for man’s blessing, not his bondage. - Authority in Action: What it means for Jesus to be "Lord of the Sabbath" and the Ancient of Days. - Sin of Omission: Understanding why refusing to do good when you have the power is a moral failure. - Enabling Grace: The biblical principle that whatever God commands (like stretching out a withered hand), He also empowers us to do. 📺 WATCH THE FULL SERIES: Catch up on the entire verse-by-verse study through the Gospel of Luke here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP9sIJpVEMLKl-Yf93BLg8t9b8KOGIAmC 🕒 Video Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: The Seven Authorities of Jesus 01:23 - Episode 1: The Grain Fields (Verses 1-5) 03:15 - Setting the Scene: Sabbath, Wheat, and Spying Pharisees 05:15 - Deuteronomy 23: God’s Provision for the Poor 08:00 - Legalistic Lenses: Sin-Sniffing and Flesh-Finding 09:20 - Point 1: Have You Not Read?
