In this sermon, Pastor Kevin preaches Luke 13:1-9. Jesus confronts assumptions about suffering and insists on a single urgent reality: repent or perish, pressing every listener to consider their own mortality.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint considers Luke 11:14–26. Jesus exposes the deeper heart issues behind people’s reactions to Him.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin walks through Luke 7:36–50. Jesus contrasts the cold self-righteousness of Simon with the extravagant love of the forgiven woman to show that those who know they’ve been forgiven much will love much.
