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
