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 because we stopped expecting God to move in our ordinary lives. In today's message, we are going to learn that "resurrection" is not just something we believe in; it is something we live in!

"""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 the Book of Luke that is consistent with his message of good news to the poor, the imprisoned, the sick and the oppressed. Come and see we have a God of Justice.

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 treasured and fully loved. Luke urges us to "put ourselves in the story" asking when do I embrace this good news? Where do I resist it? How do I experience new joy and hope in Jesus and who in my life might receive this good news as well. We invite you to join us to see in Jesus, God's compassionate rescue and powerful grace. This is New Hope, New Joy

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 someone turns back and returns to Him. Because we all matter to God. Come and see in the story of the Lost Son in Luke 15 God's amazing unconditional, even Reckless Love for His children. That's New Hope, New Joy!

Studying through God's Word requires not just information but formation. It will require us to rewire our brains so that we can deeply attune to God's speaking voice as we "Read", "Memorize", "Meditate", and "Study" His words. And when we do, we receive the power to grow spiritually and live tranformally!
