In Luke 18:9–14, Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector to confront one of the most dangerous sins we can harbor: self-righteous pride. Through a humorous look back at high school cliques and our tendency to compare ourselves with others, this message explores how easily we elevate ourselves while looking down on those we consider less moral, less successful, or less deservi...

In Luke 16:19–31, Jesus tells the unforgettable parable of the rich man and Lazarus—a story that powerfully reminds us that the comforts and successes of this life are not indicators of our standing before God. While one man enjoyed luxury and another endured poverty, everything changed after death. This dramatic role reversal points us beyond temporary circumstances to the eternal realities of he...

In Luke 16:1–13, Jesus tells the challenging parable of the dishonest manager—a story that has puzzled readers for centuries. While the manager's dishonesty is not commended, Jesus highlights his shrewdness and uses the parable to teach an important lesson about how believers should view and use their wealth. Just as the manager acted with the future in mind, Christians are called to use the r...

This sermon explores Jesus' famous Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) through the lens of one powerful truth: there is no place like home. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, the younger son leaves home believing happiness can be found elsewhere, only to discover that a life spent pursuing selfish desires ultimately leads to emptiness, brokenness, and despair. His journey reminds us tha...

Every one of us has prayers we've brought before God that seem to go unanswered. Maybe you've found yourself discouraged, doubting, or even giving up on prayer altogether — wondering if God is really listening or if He even cares. In this message, we dive into Luke 18 and the Parable of the Persistent Widow, where Jesus tells his followers a story specifically to encourage them to pray and...

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three unforgettable parables about things that were lost—a sheep, a coin, and a son. Through these stories, we see the heart of God revealed in a powerful way: He actively seeks those who have wandered far from Him. This message will challenge the way we think about grace, repentance, and the overwhelming joy of being found. Whether you feel close to God or distant from Him...

In this message from Luke 14:12-24, Jesus challenges us to rethink how we treat others by examining the way God has treated us. Speaking to a room full of religious leaders, Jesus instructs his host to stop inviting people who can repay the favor and instead invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind — those who have nothing to offer in return. The reason? God himself set this example...

In Gospel of Luke 14:1–11, Jesus attends a dinner hosted by the Pharisees and uses a simple yet powerful moment to expose the pride hiding beneath their pursuit of honor and recognition. After healing a man on the Sabbath and confronting their hypocrisy, Jesus tells a parable about guests scrambling for the best seats at a banquet, teaching that “everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he...

Jesus teaches in Luke 13 that when tragedy strikes, our first instinct is often to ask why—to try connecting the dots between suffering and sin. In this sermon, we explore how the people in Jesus’ day wrongly assumed that those who suffered terrible tragedies must have been worse sinners than everyone else. But instead of encouraging speculation or finger-pointing, Jesus redirects our attention in...

In this week's sermon, we explore the surprising dangers of sudden wealth through the stories of real-life lottery winners whose lives were ruined after hitting the jackpot. Using these contemporary examples, we see how the pursuit of money and material possessions often leads to heartbreak, emptiness, and destruction rather than the happiness and security we imagine it will bring. Drawing fro...

Have you ever watched a child ask for something completely outlandish with total confidence? In this sermon, we explore what that kind of bold faith looks like in our prayer lives — and why Jesus actually calls us to pray that way. Drawing from Luke 11:5-13, we unpack the parable of the friend at midnight, where a man boldly knocks on his neighbor's door at midnight and receives what he needs...

What do Mr. Rogers and the Parable of the Good Samaritan have in common? More than you might think. Just as Fred Rogers believed everyone deserved kindness and respect — from handicapped children to gruff U.S. Senators — Jesus taught that our neighbor is anyone we encounter in need, without exception. In this message from Luke 10:25-37, we explore the familiar story of the Good Samaritan and disco...

Are we just one generation away from losing the gospel entirely? In this message, we confront the sobering reality that the gospel can be forgotten, distorted, or replaced with vague clichés and self-help platitudes if we fail to clearly understand and pass it on. Too many Christians struggle to articulate the gospel when it matters most — and that has to change. That's why this sermon walks t...

Easter morning began like any other ordinary day—but it became the most important day in history. In Gospel of Matthew 28, we see how two women went to Jesus’ tomb expecting death, but instead encountered the risen Savior—and everything changed. This sermon explores why the resurrection of Jesus changes everything:First, it proves Jesus is who He claimed to be. Jesus didn’t just teach moral truths...

On Palm Sunday, we’re reminded that even a person’s ride can say a lot about them—and that was just as true for Jesus. In Gospel of Mark 11, Jesus intentionally rides into Jerusalem on a colt, and that choice wasn’t random—it was deeply meaningful. This message explores four powerful truths revealed through Jesus’ humble entry: First, it fulfilled prophecy, showing that Jesus is the promised Messi...

This sermon explores the powerful connection between forgiveness and love through the story in Luke 7 of the sinful woman who anoints Jesus’ feet. Using the illustration of wind—something invisible yet clearly seen through its effects—the message explains that forgiveness, though unseen, is revealed through a transformed life marked by love. Jesus teaches that those who understand the depth of the...
