In this Adult Sunday School lesson from his series through the Gospel of Luke, Charles Sebold teaches Luke 9:18-26, where the question hanging over the narrative since the storm on the sea is finally answered. Praying alone, as He does at every hinge in Luke, Jesus asks who the crowds say He is, and they offer the same too-small categories Herod heard. Then He asks, "But who do you say that I am?"...

Freedom in Christ is real, but it is not a license to live however we want. The book of Judges shows us what happens when God's people stop looking to Him and start doing what feels right to them. The tribe of Dan abandoned the land God had given them, seeking an easier path, and it led to generations of spiritual ruin. True freedom is not found in following our own hearts but in growing closer to...

This sermon explores the profound power and danger of human speech, contrasting the creative, truthful words of God in Genesis with the corrupting influence of sin introduced in the Garden of Eden.

What does a healthy church owe one another? In Ephesians 4:25–32, Paul shows that putting off the old man and living in the new means allowing Christ to reshape how we speak, handle anger, use our resources, treat others, and forgive within the body of Christ. In What We Owe One Another, the church is reminded that these commands are not an arbitrary list of rules—they are rooted in God's characte...

The message applies this p...

The s...
