Fruit and Foundations (Luke 6:43-49)
In this sermon we will finish Jesus' Sermon on the Plain. Luke 6:43-49 talks about how important it is that our faith be lived out in our actions. If we produce good fruit by obeying Jesus, then we reveal that we have a good heart. We have been changed by God and are secure on a firm foundation. But if our lives do not reflect Jesus, because we do not obey His words, then we are building on a foundation of earth that will lead to destruction.
Hypocrite or Helper? (Luke 6:37-42)
In this sermon we return to Jesus' sermon in Luke 6:37-42. In this passage, Jesus talks about how His people are to avoid prideful judgments, because all people are sinners. Instead, they should practice helpful discernment by looking in the mirror and acting against their own sin first, before examining the fruit in the lives of others.
Hard Love (Luke 6:27-36)
In this sermon we will look at one of the most difficult teachings Jesus ever gave us in Luke 6:27-36. He tells us that we are to love our enemies. That's not easy, but it is based on the way that God first loved us when we were His enemies. As Romans 5:8 says, "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Are You Blessed? (Luke 6:20-26)
Are you blessed? Are you sure? Luke 6:20-26 will challenge our idea of what true blessing really means.
A New Team (Luke 6:12-19)
In this sermon we will look at Jesus choosing His 12 apostles in Luke 6:12-19. After that, we then get to watch this new ministry team in action. Jesus didn't choose the best and brightest, but those He wanted and needed for His mission. His team is full of many different, diverse people working for the same kingdom: the Kingdom of God. Have we joined this new team?
Lord of the Sabbath (Luke 6:1-11)
After a busy week at VBS, this sermon will be a good time to talk about rest from Luke 6:1-11.
This passage will tell us that the Lord has given us a Sabbath rest for our good and so that we may do good for others. We can enjoy this rest because of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Something New (Luke 5:27-39)
In this sermon we'll look at the new life Jesus offers sick sinners through trust in Him. He provides the cure for those who know that they fall short of God's glory. The cure is found through trusting in Him.
A New Nation (Luke 5:1-11)
The story of Jesus calling His first disciples (in Luke 5:1-11) will challenge us to pledge our allegiance to the founder of our faith: Jesus Christ. In Him, we become part of a new people, a new nation, called to fish for people and point them toward saving faith in Christ.
Authority (Luke 4:31-44)
Luke 4:31-44 will tell us that Jesus has authority. What does that mean? He had power that impacted His teaching, His encounters with demons, and His healing. Yet, Jesus emphasized His teaching ministry as the main purpose of His ministry. His authority is still with us today through the presence of His Holy Spirit and His Word.
Rejected (Luke 4:16-30)
In this sermon we'll look at the story of Jesus being rejected by His hometown in Luke 4:16-30. This passage shows us that Jesus has good news for those in low places and for outsiders. But that good news may be rejected by those who do not like how Jesus changes the status quo of this world.
Tempted (Luke 4:1-15)
In this sermon we will look at the temptation of Jesus from Luke 4:1-15. Unlike the first man, Adam, Jesus did not fall to sin. He shows us how to resist temptation through trusting the Word, putting God first, and interpreting the Bible in a way that honors the Lord. Jesus' victory over sin and His death on our behalf makes it possible for us to know God and follow Him.
Son of God and Son of Man (Luke 3:21-38)
Luke 3:21-38 will switch our focus from John the Baptist to Jesus. This passage will show us that Jesus is both the Son of God (fully God) and the Son of Man (fully human). Since Jesus is the Son of God, He will one day bring God's judgment because He pleases His Heavenly Father. Since He is the Son of Man, He can understand what we go through.
A Voice In The Wilderness (Luke 3:1-20)
In this sermon, we'll talk about John the Baptist and his message of repentance from Luke 3:1-20. John called people to repent and prepare for Jesus by bearing fruit and acting justly. Even though John experienced persecution, he kept his focus on the coming One (Jesus) who would be even mightier than him.
Luke: Discovering Jesus
We will start a new sermon series on the Gospel of Luke. This sermon will be an introduction to the book and the first two chapters, focusing on Luke 1:1-4. We can trust what Luke writes about Jesus because he is presenting an orderly account of Jesus' life based on eyewitness testimony. This book should give us certainty about the truth of Jesus Christ.
Bright Hope for Tomorrow (Amos 9:11-15)
We finish the Book of Amos by looking at 9:11-15. This passage celebrates the restoration that awaits all of God's people at the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Truly we should have hope for the Future!
He Will Find You (Amos 9:1-10)
In this sermon we will talk about how it is impossible to run away and hide from God from Amos 9:1-10. No matter what, He will find us. That's bad news because it means that His judgment is definitely coming. But it is also good news because it means that He will always be with and save His true people, His remnant, who trust in Him.
From Bad To Worse (Amos 8)
In this sermon we will be back in Amos. Chapter 8 will look at God's judgment on the Israelites for their selfish sins. There will be death, mourning, and destruction, but the worst part of God's judgment is that He will take away His Word (see vs. 11-12). We'll talk about why having access to God's Word is such a precious treasure that should not be taken for granted.
He Calls Your Name (John 20:11-18)
Happy Easter! During this sermon, we will praise Jesus for His victory over death and look at John 20:11-18. Because of the resurrection, Jesus calls us by name to come to Him today!
...Even When It's Unpopular (Amos 7:10-17)
In this sermon we'll focus on how the Lord roars His truth through His Word, even when that message is unpopular. In Amos 7:10-17, people try to twist Amos' words and tell him to 'shut up and go home'. But Amos stays faithful to God's truth, even when it's unpopular.
Where Mercy & Judgement Meet (Amos 7:1-9)
In this sermon we will discover how God can be full of both mercy and judgment in Amos 7:1-9. God does not give us everything that we deserve, because He is full of mercy. But, at the same time, He does not let sin go undealt with. Either Jesus paid for our sins or we will pay for them and experience the Lord's judgment.
