How should Christians relate to the governing authorities? Far from being an abstract theoretical question, it is one of vial importance. In our text today, Paul gives us some guidelines for the types of citizens we should be.

Of all of the women in the Bible, Martha is likely the easiest with which to identify. She sincerely loved the Lord, but she was busy to the point of distraction. Join with us as we hear a timely word from her experience with Jesus.

Life is short, fleeting, and uncertain. We are here for a time and then we fly away. However, God is not so. He and His Word are eternal.

Mankind is unique among God's creation. We alone are made in the image of God. This is more than an encouraging thought or a theological platitude. It is a vibrant truth that affects every facet of life. Join us as we look at a couple of ways it intersects with life today.

In our final passage in Luke's Gospel, we see a final post-resurrection appearance of Christ and what it means for us, as well as His ascension back to glory.

In his continuing record of Easter Sunday, Luke recounts Jesus' meeting with two of His downcast disciples as they travel to Emmaus. They began their journey downcast. They ended it in jubilation because Jesus is alive!

Who's son is the Messiah? That seems like an odd question to our ears today. Yet, that is the question Jesus posed to the religious leaders of His day. The answer to this simple question is pregnant with significance.

Jesus's enemies were always trying to trip Him up or hinder Him in some way. This attempt was to try to make Him look foolish for His belief in the resurrection. Listen in to hear how Christ handled this question.

The direction and actions of the church directly affects the course of the nation. Guest speaker, Timothy Blankenship, explains how.
