In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow to teach His followers to always pray and not lose heart. He reminds us that prayer is not about wearing God down or bending His will, but about bending our will to His and living in daily communion with Him. This message invites us to examine the substance and rhythm of our prayers—and what they reveal about our faith. Our hope is th...

Temptation is unavoidable—but how we respond matters deeply. In Luke 17:1–4, Jesus exposes the hidden danger of becoming a stumbling block to others and calls his followers to serious self-examination. This sermon explores how sin quietly lures us and how our example shapes those around us. Christ calls his people not just to avoid sin, but to confront it, forgive freely, and lead one another towa...

As we step out of the holidays and into a new year, many of us are weighed down by exhausting “what-ifs”—questions about the future that stir fear and anxiety. In this message, we looked to the prophet Habakkuk and a modern testimony to see how God invites us to replace those what-ifs with “even-ifs”: a settled trust in who God is, even when life feels uncertain. Scripture shows us that fear is ro...

In this message, we trace the powerful biblical theme of God’s presence—from Eden, to the new heaven and new earth. Far more than a Christmas phrase, Immanuel reveals God’s relentless desire to dwell with his people. This sermon shows how God moves closer and closer to humanity throughout Scripture and how that truth changes the way we see God, worship him, and live before him today.

At Christmas we’re surrounded by traditions but rarely do we stop to ask what these familiar symbols really mean. In this sermon, we look past the surface and explore the staggering truth behind one of the most famous Christmas words: Immanuel—God with us. From Isaiah’s prophecy to Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, from the early church’s struggle to define the incarnation to Paul’s call for Christ-like...

In today’s message, A Tale of Two Men from Luke 16:19-31, we confront a question many of us avoid: Does my life reflect a true belief in heaven and hell? Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus forces us to face the reality of death, judgment, and eternity. This text invites us to examine how the truth of eternity should reshape our priorities, our urgency, and our compassion in this present life...

In Luke 15:11–32, the Parable of the Prodigal Son shows how both rebellious sinners and self-righteous religious people can be far from God, yet the Father stands ready to forgive and restore anyone who turns to Him. Jesus calls us to recognize our brokenness, repent, and come home to the One who runs toward us with grace.

In Luke 14:25–33, Jesus turns to a massive crowd and gives one of His most unsettling teachings: following Him will cost you everything. In this sermon, we explore what Jesus means when He calls us to “hate” our family, carry our cross, and renounce all we have. Through stories, illustrations, and the words of Jesus Himself, we wrestle with a single piercing question: Does Jesus have all of me?

In Luke 14:7–14, Jesus uses two simple parables to expose a deep problem in the human heart that centers on pride and the worship of self. Through these stories, He calls us to a radically different way of life that pushes against our natural flesh. However, what we discover is Christ’s invitation to walk in His ways by displaying the gospel through humility and bringing glory to God by loving oth...

In Luke 13, someone asks Jesus a haunting question: “Will those who are saved be few?” This question challenges our culture’s assumptions of open access, endless options, and a belief that everyone will somehow find their way to heaven. In this message, we explore Jesus’ response and face a deeply personal question: Am I one of the few?

In Luke 12:35-48, Jesus teaches us how to live between two prayers: “Come, Lord Jesus” and “Lord, save the lost.” Through three stories, Jesus calls us to wait with eager anticipation and to serve with diligent obedience. This message wrestles with how we hold both hope for Christ’s return and urgency for the mission before He comes.

In today’s sermon, we look at Jesus’ teaching in Luke 12, where He warns us to be on guard against the endless chase for more. Through the story of the rich fool, Jesus reminds us that life isn’t found in what we own but in knowing God and seeking His kingdom. We’ll explore how to let go of anxiety, trust God’s provision, and live for what truly lasts.

In Luke 11:37-44, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for focusing on outward appearances while neglecting the condition of their hearts. The text provides a stern warning against hypocrisy, and calls us to authentic holiness where our actions match our hearts. This sermon challenges us to ask, “Who is the real me?”—the person God truly sees beneath the surface.

In this message from Luke 11, we explore what it really means to pray as Jesus taught His disciples. Prayer isn’t about reciting words or earning God’s favor—it’s about aligning our hearts with His will. From “Father, hallowed be your name” to “lead us not into temptation,” Jesus gives us a framework for prayer that transforms how we relate to God and how we live each day.

In Luke 10:1–12, Jesus sends out seventy-two followers to proclaim the coming of God’s kingdom. He reveals that the harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few, underscoring the urgency of the mission. Jesus makes it clear that this work will not be easy—it demands sacrifice, wholehearted obedience, and total dependence on Him.

Following Jesus requires far more than casual belief—it demands self-denial, sacrifice, and complete surrender. In Luke 9, Jesus warns and instructs his potential followers what true discipleship entails. Though the call is demanding and often difficult, it is the path to true and lasting life. 

In Luke 8:4–15, Jesus uses the parable of the sower to reveal the different ways people respond to His gospel. It serves as both a warning to hardened hearts and an encouragement to those who are open to believe. In this sermon, Pastor Paul invites listeners to reflect on a personal question: What will I do with the gospel?

How do you view your own sin? Do you reflect and look to others, or are you broken over the realities of your sin?

Founders Day has historically been a time to celebrate the church’s heritage and give toward special projects. Research into FBC’s history—particularly through John C. Huffman’s 1955 reflections—reveals that the church has consistently prioritized the Great Commission. Join pastor Paul as he explores how the past should inform how we are to give, go, and live so that God’s glory is known among all...

The way we live flows from our deepest beliefs. Therefore, our understanding of Jesus shapes who we are. In today’s text, we are presented with two portraits of Jesus, and the one we embrace will determine who we become. Join Pastor Paul as he unpacks this powerful story from Luke 7:11–17.

In Luke 6:27–36, Jesus calls His followers to live by the values of God’s kingdom, which often feel unreasonable compared to the world’s ways. Instead of retaliation or self-protection, He commands love in the face of persecution. These principles were radical for first-century Christians and they remain just as challenging for believers today. Join Pastor Paul as he unpacks what it means to walk...

In Luke 6:1-11, Jesus declares Himself “lord of the Sabbath,” showing that He fulfills the Sabbath as the reality behind its shadow. But what does this mean about the Sabbath for us today? Is it wrong to work on Sundays? Can we mow our lawns on Sunday? Should Chick-fil-A be closed on Sundays? Join Pastor Paul as he unpacks these questions and explores the reality of true rest in Christ.

In Luke chapter 5, we encounter a story where healing seemed to be the ultimate goal, but Jesus reveals that forgiveness and his glory are of far greater importance. Jesus invites us to shift our perspective—from prioritizing the physical and temporal to recognizing the deeper spiritual reality. Through the perspectives of the paralyzed man, the Pharisees, and Jesus himself, we are challenged to e...

In Luke 5:1–11, Peter has a life-changing encounter with Jesus—moving from general respect to total surrender as he recognizes Jesus as Lord; this moment inverts his identity, purpose, and priorities, illustrating that true salvation requires not just belief, but full surrender, repentance, and a reoriented life centered on Christ.

In this message from Luke 4, Jesus calls evil into submission with mere words, demonstrating his authority and power over demonic forces. As followers of Christ, we are called not to live in fear, but to remain alert, grounded in truth, and aware of the daily battle against spiritual forces that seek to undermine God's work in and through us.
