Count the Cost June 14, 2026 • Zach Hume • Luke 9:51–62 This Sunday, Zach Hume teaches from Luke 9:51-62, emphasizing that while salvation is a free gift of grace, following Jesus is costly and requires full surrender.

Follow Me May 31, 2026 • Greg Pinkner • Luke 9:18–28 Greg Pinkner teaches from Luke 9:18-27 where Jesus asks His disciples the central question of faith—“Who do you say that I am?”—and Peter correctly confesses that Jesus is the Christ.

A Heart that Bears Fruit March 29, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Luke 6:43–49 Concluding the Sermon on the Mount, Luke 6:43–49 teaches that the heart is the center of a person’s life, shaping thoughts, actions, and behavior, and that everything that flows outward reveals what is truly within.

Hope for Hypocrites March 22, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Luke 6:39–49 Continuing in the Sermon on the Mount, Luke 6:39–49 teaches that following Christ is not mainly about outward rule-keeping, but about deep inner transformation of the heart through the Holy Spirit.

The Law of Mercy March 15, 2026 • Greg Pinkner • Luke 6:27–42 In Luke 6:27-42, the “Sermon on the Plain,” Jesus challenges both Roman and Jewish ideas of morality by teaching something radically different: love your enemies.

Something New March 1, 2026 • Devon Accardi • Luke 5:27–39, Luke 6:1–11 In Luke 5:27–6:11, Jesus introduces something radically new: God’s kingdom breaking in. Jesus calls Levi, a tax collector, out of his old life and then sits at a table with the tax collectors and sinners, insisting he came like a doctor for the sick—inviting the needy, not congratulating the self-righteous. When the Pharisees...

The Healing of a Sinner February 22, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Luke 5:17–31 Luke wrote his Gospel to Theophilus so he could move from partial knowledge about Jesus to deeper certainty, and in that sense Luke was written not to us but for us. Reading the Gospels is an invitation to encounter Jesus personally and be led from doubt into confident relationship with him. Discipleship is pictured as Jesus...

Into the Deep February 15, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Luke 5:1–16 In Luke 4, Jesus withdraws to pray, but when the crowds find him and urge him to stay, he explains that he must continue preaching the good news of the kingdom of God because that is the purpose for which he was sent.

Power and Authority February 8, 2026 • Devon Accardi • Luke 4:31–44 In Luke 4:31–44, after Jesus is rejected in Nazareth, he goes to Capernaum—not as a retreat, but to fulfill Scripture and begin his mission as the light dawning in darkness.

This Sunday, we have a snow day devotional. This message comes from Exodus 3 and Moses’ encounter with God in the burning bush. We are reminded that God often speaks when we “turn aside” from distraction and draw near to listen. In this passage, the Lord reveals Himself as the Great I AM—holy, eternal, and fully present with His people. God not only sees our suffering, but He comes down to deliver...

The Gospel of Jubilee January 18, 2026 • RD McClenagan • Luke 4:14–30 In Luke 4:14-30, Jesus reads from Isaiah 61 to the congregation in Nazareth. His message is “good news to the poor,” both the materially poor and the “poor in spirit” who come like beggars—humble and desperate enough to receive grace. He also announces freedom for captives (pardon from sin’s enslaving power), sight for the blind...

The Faithful One January 11, 2026 • Devon Accardi • Luke 4:1–13 In Luke 4, Jesus faces three temptations in the wilderness by Satan: provision (bread), authority (kingdoms), and acclaim (prove yourself). Devon frames temptation as “hunger,” the pull to satisfy God-given desires in our own time and our own way. Jesus resists by standing firm in his identity as God’s Son, walking with the Spirit, an...
