Luke (Page 9)
Loving Your Enemies
This sermon considers what it means to love our enemies and how we can do that in the grace that God provides. Here is a call to be other-worldly in our dealings with our opponents. Timely and needed in our present hour. Passage: Luke 6:27-31
Blessing and Woe
This sermon begins our study through Jesus’ “Sermon on the Plain.” Here we see a stark distinction between those who follow Jesus for wrong motives. This is a call to be blessed in Jesus and his kingdom rather than in the false hopes of the world. Passage: Luke 6:17-26
Prayer and Common Men
This sermon looks at how Jesus calls twelve to be his apostles. Jesus spends all night in prayer and then calls common men to go in his name to the ends of the earth declaring the good news of the kingdom of God. God works the same way today. So let us pray and go in Jesus name. Passage: Luke 6:12-16
Lord of the Sabbath
This sermons examines the continued conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees. He continues to draw attention to himself as the object of worship, devotion, and salvation. Here is an opportunity to see Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath and the glory that entails. Passage: Luke 6:1-11
The Supremacy and Sovereignty of Jesus
Jesus is asked about fasting and he responds with illustrations of a patched garment, wineskins, and new wine. Jesus is teaching something profound. He does not fit into the mold of his contemporaries nor those who’ve come before. Jesus is the King, coming to bring the kingdom, mediate the new covenant, lead a new exodus, and establish a new priesthood. Behold your King! Passage: Luke 5:33-39
Calling Sinners to Repentance
Jesus calls the notorious sinner Levi (a tax collector) to follow him and become a disciple. Levi takes up the call and invites Jesus and his notorious friends to a great feast drawing the ire of the religious establishment. There are important lessons for us here on how we deal with “notorious sinners.” Pastor Tim applies this text to how we ought to approach sharing truth with those who identify as LGBTQ+. Passage: Luke 5:27-32
The Great Physician
Pastor Tim preaches from the Luke 5 where Jesus does two amazing miracles to heal the leper and the paralytic. In these miracles we not only witness Jesus’ power and authority but his mercy and compassion. Here is the one worth seeking, trusting, and finding forgiveness and true hope. Passage: Luke 5:12-26
A Catch of Fish and Men
Here we see Jesus call his first disciples after teaching the word of God and performing an amazing miracle. There is much we can learn here as Peter, James, and John see the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Passage: Luke 5:1-11
The Good News of the Kingdom of God
Pastor Tim is preaching through the gospel of Luke and is at Luke 4:42-44 on the good news of the kingdom of God. This brings to the fore an oft-overlooked concept from Scripture that is central to the message of the gospel and the storyline of history. Passage: Luke 4:42-44
The Authority of Jesus
Pastor Tim preaches on the authority of Jesus to teach, to cast out demons, and to heal the sick. What we recognize is that the authority of Jesus is such a comfort since he speaks and controls what is beyond our control. He also commands authority over us and we would do well to know his word and follow him in loving devotion. Passage: Luke 4:31-41
Jesus: Spirit-Filled Preacher
Pastor Tim preaches from Luke 4:14-30 on Jesus as the famous Spirit-filled preacher who comes to his hometown to preach the gospel. Here is another opportunity to grow in love and faith in the Son of God as we see meditate on his Spirt-filled preaching. Passage: Luke 4:14-30
The Temptation of Jesus
Pastor Tim preaches from Luke 4:1-13 on when Jesus was led up by the Spirit of God into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Here is true hope. Our great and mighty champion has faced Satan’s worst and stands victorious! Passage: Luke 4:1-13
