If God told you to do something so unbelievably difficult, how would you respond? In the case of Mary, a mere teenager, when an angel told her God was going to change her life forever, she answered, "I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me as you have said." On top of that Mary sang a song of praise and gratitude. God chose Mary because she could handle the assignment. We will learn how to be mor...

How fitting that Luke finishes his book on the note of death and the resurrection of Christ. Two disciples are walking to Emmaus, talking about what just happened. And Jesus, the risen Lord, joins them, but they don't recognize Him. Why? Not because He was hiding - but because they weren't expecting HIs resurrection. Could it be that we don't experience New Hope and New Joy in our daily lives beca...

"""History is written by the victors!"" This saying implies that historical records often reflect the perspective of the powerful and can be incomplete or biased, ignoring the stories of the powerless. Unfortunately this can apply to Bible teaching like for this weekend on the Widow's Offering found in Luke 21. In our current series New Hope New Joy, we are seeing with new eyes Jesus' teachings in...

Have you ever dropped something small but valuable, like a diamond earring, on the floor? You search everywhere, on your hands and knees, even using a flashlight, desperately combing through the carpet with your fingers. It's trying to "find the needle in the haystack." Suddenly when you do find the lost earring, your heart leaps for joy. What was lost is now found. That's how God feels when someo...

When it came to John the Baptist, Jesus Christ said "he was of a great man!" His core message in conjuction with the symbolic baptism is one of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. In today's message we want to find out how we find "New Hope" and "New Joy" with a heart of repentance.

At the heart of Jesus' message is the truth that God SEEs us as deeply valuable, created in His image, and worth redeeming no matter our failures and brokenness. In this message, Jesus sees and welcomes a Levi the tax collector who was an outcast but give him "New Hope and New Joy" by renaming him as 'a gift!'

Jesus' message both confounds and delights. This was true for his original audience and it is true today. Jesus proclaims that he brings good news to the poor, sets the oppressed free and proclaims the Lord's favor (Luke 4:18-19). Jesus' original hearers were most surprised at the breadth and depth of God's inclusive invitation. God's good news invites us to see ourselves and others as deeply trea...
