How does the new covenant relate to the old covenant? What role does the Sabbath play in the life of 21st Century believers living under the new covenant? In this week's sermon, Pastor Alex unpacks these questions and more as he delivers a sermon centered on Luke 5:33-6:11, in which he shows that Christ is Lord over the Sabbath and our lives.
How do you face temptation? In this sermon, we learned how Jesus faced temptation and won on our behalf.
“GOD, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right and of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” Hebrews 1:1-4 “Hebrews is basically a book that encourages [exhorts] discouraged Christians to continue on strong with Jesus in light of the complete superiority of who He is and what He did for us.”- David Guzik. The messenger vs. the message “Are they (angels) not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14. “GOD, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets…” the message > the messengerChrist is not another messenger. He is the message“GOD, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son” Hebrews 1:1-2. “The Bible is the record of the different places and different ways by which God has spoken to man. In the book of Genesis, we find God speaking to man by angels; they were the messengers…then God began to speak through anointed men such as Moses and Joshua…. Then God spoke to them through priests…then as time progressed God raised up prophets…But God's final revelation was given to man through Jesus Christ. Jesus came to bring man the final, the ultimate message of God. The ultimate understanding of God. So, all that man is to know about God can be discovered in and through Jesus Christ. This revelation is superior than all of the other revelations. His revelation through the Son is superior than the revelation through the angels.”- Chuck Smith.“39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.” John 5:39“It isn't so much that Jesus brought a message from the Father; He is a message from the Father. He has revealed something no other prophet could”- David Guzik. “(Jesus)who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:3-4“He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born over-all creation.16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” Colossians 1:15-18. Preeminent: surpassing all others; having the highest rank, importance or excellence. Gnosticism: salvation comes through special, hidden knowledge.Agnostic: without knowledge.

Luke 9:18–20 (ESV)18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”19 And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.”20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”Public opinion about Jesus was divided.Some saw Him as John the Baptist, others as Elijah or one of the prophets.But Jesus presses deeper with a personal question:“But who do you say that I am?”Peter's confession stands alone: “The Christ of God.”This was not human insight—it was divine revelation.This passage teaches us:✔ Knowing about Jesus is not the same as knowing who He is✔ Faith requires personal conviction, not borrowed opinions✔ Jesus is not merely a prophet—He is God's Anointed One✔ True understanding of Christ comes from the Father✔ Every believer must answer Jesus' question personallyJesus still asks the same question today.

Message from Aaron Jenkins on 07/12/2025
Who doesn’t like simple things? But the sinful nature of man likes to complicate things. Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians about our minds being corrupted from the simplicity of Christ. Satan works tirelessly to complicate the gospel message to make it confusing to the minds of men. In this sermon Brother Luke looks at …

Defining Moments: The Burial of Jesus ChristLuke 23:50-56The Village Chapel - 10/12/2025Each of our lives is shaped by what we might call “defining moments”—those hinge points that change the course of our life in significant ways. We can see some of these moments coming. Others we only recognize when looking back, and we can see the gracious hand of God weaving through our good and bad choices, our challenges, our joys, and our pain—forming us, changing us, preparing us for what comes next.One such moment came at the burial of Jesus by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. What looked like the end was actually the beginning. What seemed like defeat would become the seed of resurrection faith. Their defining moment was not found in their strength, but in their surrender—by stepping out into the open, identifying with the crucified Christ, and finding life in His death.Sometimes, our greatest turning points come when we finally step out of the shadows and into the light of Christ—when we stop worrying about our own glory and begin living for His.Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through the burial of Jesus, one of the defining moments in redemption history.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

What is your response to Jesus Christ?Luke 22:63-71The Village Chapel - 09/21/2025Curious about God? Seeking truth about who Jesus was and is? This study, rooted in the Gospels' parallel accounts, helps us discover the powerful question at the heart of Christianity: What is your response to Jesus Christ?This sermon unveils three realities: 1. There are those who are Belligerent Unbelievers, who reject God, risking eternal consequences. 2. Jesus was a Suffering Savior who sacrificed all for our redemption, forgiving even the worst of His enemies. 3. Jesus made some bold claims about Himself as the Self-Revealed Son of God. Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).Join Pastor Jim as he dives into the gripping narrative of Jesus' trials from Luke 22:63-71, John 18:12-24, and Matthew 26:59-68, where betrayal, mockery, and injustice collide.

Zaccheus was rich and a chief tax collector; thus he was very unliked by others. Yet Jesus looks up at him, calls him by name, comes to his house, and ultimately transforms Zaccheus the greedy and dishonest man into a new creation. Jesus does this for all who believe in Him, and He always acts first. It's not that Zaccheus or anyone wanted a relationship with Jesus first, but Jesus who initiates and begins relationships with us. Now in our new creation identities, we follow Christ and seek the lost like our Savior.

Sabbath Mercy in Christ (Luke 14:1-6) by Edgington EPC
Sermon for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost (C) Sunday, 17 August A+D 2025 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch
In this episode we finish up the sermon on the plain, looking at Luke 6:46-19. In this passage, Jesus asks a question of those around Him, emphasizing the importance of hearing His words and listening and then issues a warning through the example of the wise and foolish builders. Together we discuss just how important it is for our foundation to be rooted in Christ alone, both for our own lives, and the lives of those around us.
Lutheran Preaching and Teaching from St. John Random Lake, Wisconsin
July 10, 2025
“But the Lord said to her, ‘My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.’” (Luke 10:41–42 NLT) If your aim is to experience genuine revival in your spiritual life, in addition to being an ambassador for Christ and a neighbor like Christ, you must also be a worshiper of Christ. That’s the third ministry role found in Luke 10. Some believers make the mistake of allowing their work for God to overshadow their worship of God. They convince themselves that what they say or do is indispensable to God’s kingdom. That their ministry is vital to the success of the Christian faith. That God needs them. Newsflash: God doesn’t need us. Another newsflash: Everything that believers do must emanate from our worship of God. Worship is the source of our power and effectiveness, so it must be our top priority. If it isn’t, we will not burn bright for Christ. We won’t feel a sense of revival. Instead, we’ll find ourselves burning out. We can’t give out what we don’t possess. We can’t take people any further than we’ve gone ourselves. We see this principle played out in the story of Jesus’ visit to the house of his friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in Luke 10. Storm clouds were looming large in the life of the Lord. In fact, He was on His way to Jerusalem to be crucified. Before that happened, He wanted to talk about the coming changes with His friends. This was an important evening. Martha’s instinct was to prepare a good meal for Jesus—to stay busy doing things for Him. Mary, on the other hand, “sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught” (Luke 10:39 NLT). Martha saw obligation; Mary saw opportunity. The Creator of the universe, in human form, was sitting in her house, revealing life-changing spiritual truths. As far as Mary was concerned, washing dishes and setting the table could wait. Her priority was to spend as much time as possible in Jesus’ presence. Martha grew annoyed with Mary for not joining her in her busy work. She took her complaint to Jesus. “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me” (verse 40 NLT). Jesus helped her see where her priorities were out of order. “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her” (verses 41–42 NLT). There’s a time for work and a time for worship. Martha’s mistake was offering activity instead of adoration, perspiration instead of inspiration, and work instead of worship. She didn’t realize that Jesus preferred her company over her service in that situation. He wanted her fellowship and companionship more than He wanted a meal. There are countless ways to serve Jesus, but our worship must come first. That’s where our spiritual power and energy come from. That’s where revival begins. What we do with Christ is far more important than what we do for Christ. Reflection question: What can you do to revitalize your Christian worship?

“The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit. These were his instructions to them: ‘The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.’” (Luke 10:1–2 NLT) *Enjoying Pastor Greg's devotional podcast? Let us know what you think with this quick survey!* A spiritual revival often begins with a sense of dissatisfaction, a realization that something is missing in your life. Have you experienced that? Maybe you’ve wondered what to do with your life. Maybe you’re middle-aged or getting on a little bit in years. You’re looking at the course that your life is taking and asking, “Is this really where I want to go?” Maybe you’ve reached some of the goals you set for yourself. You’ve had a certain level of success, but still feel like your life is lacking some meaning and purpose. Maybe you’re a young person asking, “What am I going to do? What should I be spending my life on?” None of us wants to squander our lives in pursuit of nothing. We want to find purpose and meaning. We want to pursue something noble. But what does that mean? And how should that pursuit impact the way we live our lives? In terms of revival, we might ask how we can tap into something deeper, more vibrant in our Christian faith. The answers to these questions are found in Luke 10, which highlights three roles that every follower of Jesus Christ should fill. In today’s devotion, we’ll look at the first role: ambassador. Believers must be ambassadors for Christ. We must represent Him and His message to the world. We must live in a way that reflects Him so that when people look at us, they see Him. In Luke 10, we find Jesus at a crucial point in His life and ministry. His time in Galilee had come to an end, and He was beginning the slow journey to Jerusalem that would culminate in His crucifixion. To prepare the way, He selected 72 disciples to go ahead of Him to the areas He would be visiting. This was a critical opportunity, and He wanted His disciples to make the most of it. If you’ve made the decision to follow Jesus, you have critical opportunities, too. Opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus. Opportunities to talk about your own journey to faith. Opportunities to introduce others to the life-changing wisdom of God’s Word. You have no way of knowing where and when you’ll find “open doors”— people who are especially receptive to your message because of the circumstances of their lives. But you need to understand that open doors may not stay that way for long. You must be prepared to seize every opportunity. That’s what it means to be an ambassador for Christ. Look at Luke 10:2 again. Jesus didn’t say He needed spectators or critics; He said He needed workers, people willing to step out of their comfort zones and risk rejection for something infinitely more important than comfort and acceptance. Your work as an ambassador won’t go unnoticed. Proverbs 11:25 says, “Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed” (NLT). That’s how personal revival works.
