“He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” — Luke 24:27 The two disciples on the road to Emmaus had a most profitable journey. Their companion and teacher was the best of tutors; the interpreter one of a thousand, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The […]

As a church, we recognize that if we are to live out the great commission, then one thing is essential: We must be a people who hear God. In the weeks ahead, we'll talk about the practical ways God speaks - through Scripture, through prayer, through other people, and through our circumstances. Additionally, we must recognize that hearing God is not first a skill to master, but a relationship to tend. God is speaking, we just need to position ourselves to hear him. For the second message in our series, Lead Pastor Grant Bruscoe teaches out of Luke's narrative of the road to Emmaus. We'd love to connect with you!

Have you ever tried to read the Bible and felt confused, discouraged, or quietly guilty for not “getting it”? You know it matters...but at some point you got lost and maybe even gave up.In this message, we discover a single, life-changing framework Jesus himself gives us for reading the Bible. Through the story of the road to Emmaus, Jesus shows that Scripture isn't primarily about rules to follow or heroes to imitate. It's one unified story pointing to one true Hero: Him.When we stop reading the Bible as if it's mainly about us and start reading it through the Jesus lens, everything changes. The pressure to perform gives way to freedom. Confusion turns into clarity. And seeing Jesus for who he is begins to reshape how we see God, the Bible, and ourselves.If you've ever felt burned out by trying harder, unsure how the Bible connects to real life, or hungry for a faith built on something solid, this message is for you.FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION:What has your experience with reading the Bible been like: encouraging, confusing, heavy, life-giving, or something else?What stood out to you most from this message? Was there a moment, phrase, or idea that shifted how you see the Bible?Where have you tended to read the Bible with yourself at the center? How has that shaped your view of God or yourself?How does seeing Jesus as the Hero change the way you approach Scripture What might look different if your goal is to see Him rather than fix yourself?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

In this message, we learn to see the gospel not as a script to memorize, but as a story we're invited to step into, a story that Jesus Himself patiently reframes on the road to Emmaus. When the story is retold rightly, hearts are awakened, and witness flows naturally from lives reoriented around God's redemptive work.

“Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem into the country. They rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them.” (Mark 16:12–13 NLT) One of the great mysteries of the Bible is why Jesus chose to appear to certain people and not others after His resurrection. There is no record of His appearing to the Jewish religious leaders who opposed Him during His earthly ministry. Or to the high priest Caiaphas, who orchestrated His crucifixion. Or to the Roman Emperor Caesar. Imagine the drama if He had appeared to Pilate: “Yo, Pilate! Remember me? Can’t keep a good man down, can you?” Instead, we find post-resurrection accounts like the one in Mark 16. Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus and joined them on their journey to the country. We don’t know who the disciples were, and they are not mentioned again in the Bible. Verse 12 tells us that Jesus “appeared in a different form” (NLT) to the pair. In other words, He went incognito. The two travelers had no idea that they were walking with Jesus. Later, when they told others about their encounter, “no one believed them” (verse 13 NLT). Maybe it’s because their story lacked drama and spectacle. The idea of the Lord walking incognito lacks punch. But it’s revealing as to how the Lord works. It’s a reminder to believers that Jesus walks with us always, even when we’re not aware of Him. In Isaiah 43:2, the Lord promises, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you” (NLT). Sometimes God’s people don’t realize He’s there until the rivers, flames, and other obstacles are in our rearview mirror. In 1 Kings 19:11–13, the prophet Elijah experienced God’s presence not in a windstorm, not in an earthquake, not in a fire, but in “the sound of a gentle whisper” (verse 12 NLT). Just as people must pay close attention to hear a gentle whisper, they must also pay close attention to experience God’s presence. Feeling close to the Lord isn’t something that happens only in church. Wherever you go, you can know that Jesus is with you there, too. When you’re going through hard times, even when you cannot feel Him, Jesus is there. That’s great news for believers—news that should be celebrated. One of the best ways to respond to the Lord’s quiet presence in your life is with a spirit of gratitude. Thank God that you never have to wonder where He is when things get tough. Another great way to respond is with silence of your own. Commit to a regular quiet time—a time when you intentionally block out the noise and distractions of the day so that you can be aware of God’s presence.

Sometimes following Jesus doesn't mean going somewhere new—it means going home by another route. This Sunday at Emmaus, we'll celebrate Epiphany and reflect on how a genuine encounter with Jesus quietly reshapes our lives, our loyalties, and the way we move through the world.

The dining table is much more than a place to consume food; it is a place for connecting, laughing, telling stories, and comforting one another. Shared meals bond us, heal us, and lift us up. In the first installment of our new sermon series, Bon Appetit: Meal Worth Remembering, we join a group of disciples after the resurrection who see the risen Christ in the breaking of bread with one another.

In Luke 24:13–24, two discouraged disciples walk the road to Emmaus, talking through their confusion, disappointment, and unanswered questions—unaware that Jesus Himself is walking beside them. Though He is present, they don't recognize His voice at first. Their story reminds us how easy it is to miss what God is saying when our hearts are weighed down by pain or unmet expectations.This message, “Devoted to His Voice,” calls us to slow down, tune out the noise, and become attentive to what Jesus is speaking in every season of life. Even when we don't recognize Him right away, His voice is still guiding, comforting, and revealing truth.

On the road to Emmaus, two disciples encounter the risen Christ and are forever changed. Jesus meets them in their processing and hopelessness, and reveals Himself to them in explaining the Scriptures and the breaking of bread. For believers today, Christ reveals Himself in the same way, and encourages us to walk together by faith as His people; because recognizing Jesus is just the beginning to a life of discipleship.

Pastor Krissy Miles opens this message by addressing the confusion and division of today's culture, particularly as amplified through social media and current events. She calls believers to practice true discernment, explaining that truth is not found merely in information or words, but in people who are genuinely submitted to Jesus—the person of truth. Even those who speak Scripture, she warns, may not truly be aligned with Christ if their lives are not marked by humility and obedience.Transitioning into the Christmas season, Pastor Krissy introduces the theme “The Messianic King,” part of The Miracle of Christmas series. She addresses the topic of Israel, highlighting the shared spiritual heritage between Christians and Jews while affirming the Christian belief that Jesus is the promised Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. Drawing from the Apostle Paul, she emphasizes the call to love the Jewish people and to desire their salvation.The message centers on the Road to Emmaus in Luke 24, where two disciples walk with the resurrected Jesus without recognizing Him. Pastor Krissy explains that Jesus is not hidden by God, but unrecognized because of doubt and disappointment. She connects this to modern believers, showing how discouragement and unbelief can blind us to God's work in our lives.As Jesus opens the Scriptures, Pastor Krissy highlights how the Law and the Prophets point to Him, referencing Old Testament passages from Daniel, Ezekiel, Haggai, and Zechariah that foretell a spiritual and eternal kingdom fulfilled in Christ. The message culminates in the breaking of bread, where the disciples finally recognize Jesus—a moment Pastor Krissy connects to communion and the Passover, revealing Jesus as the true Passover Lamb.Key Themes:Spiritual Discernment in a Noisy CultureTruth Found in Lives Submitted to JesusJesus as the Promised Messianic KingIsrael and God's Redemptive PlanThe Road to Emmaus (Luke 24)Doubt, Disappointment, and Spiritual BlindnessJesus Revealed Through the Law and the ProphetsThe Kingdom of God: Spiritual and EternalThe Son of Man in ScriptureCommunion, Passover, and FulfillmentUpdated Timestamps:0:20 – Introduction & Discernment3:20 – The Call for Spiritual Discernment5:00 – The Messianic King & Israel8:00 – The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24)13:20 – Confusion & Disappointment16:00 – Jesus Explains the Scriptures20:00 – Recognizing Jesus in the Breaking of Bread21:20 – Doubt vs. Faith28:20 – Daniel's Vision of the Kingdom30:20 – Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled32:20 – The Kingdom of God Has Come34:20 – The Unshakable Kingdom36:20 – The Son of Man Revealed38:20 – Communion & Passover54:20 – Application & Call to Faith65:20 – Closing Prayer & Christmas Blessing

This Sunday at Emmaus, we continue our Advent series Hopes & Fears by turning our attention to one of the most overlooked figures in the Christmas story: Joseph.His quiet strength, steady faith, has more to teach us than we might think—especially in a season full of heightened expectations. If what has come your way isn't what you had in mind, you can probably learn a thing or two from our guy Joseph.

OUR Easter Talk has three parts: Part 1: The Story of Two Disciples; Part 2: New Jerusalem Is Coming Down; Part 3: The 5th Problem in the Corinth Church. Backgrounder: Before His crucifixion, Jesus was in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover (a traditional feast commemorating the Jews' liberation from slavery in Egypt). Jesus' followers welcomed Him waving palms (now celebrated as Palm Sunday). Two followers of Jesus, Cleopas, and a friend, left their home in Emmaus and went to Jerusalem also to celebrate the Passover. Even before the day of the Passover feast, Jesus, accused of rebellion against the Roman Empire that colonized Israel, was arrested by Roman soldiers and eventually crucified Him. Because their Master was crucified, the two followers of Jesus were so devastated that they decided to walk back to their home in Emmaus. Along the way, Jesus, then already Resurrected from death, appeared and walked with the two followers–who did not recognize Jesus. Talk 1 of our Lenten Feast Talk points out that The Walk to Emmaus is a symbol of someone walking away from God and the person's spiritual family. Messy Saint Talk 1: Confused Army Talk 2: Proud About Sin Talk 3:Correct But Still Self-Centered Talk 4:Gifted But Divisive Talk 5:Walk Back to Jerusalem Messy Saints Love Thy Neighbor (Even if They Drive You Nuts) Solving the problems in 1 Corinthians Talk 5: Walk Back to Jerusalem Notes: To recognize Jesus, the followers–and we, to-day–need to go back to Jerusalem. When Jesus walked with the two followers, this means that though we are walking back to Jerusalem, Jerusalem is also coming back to us. In Tagalog, sinasalubong natin. We're walking to welcome it back.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Lucy, a saint whose name means light — and today's Gospel invites us to ask a powerful Advent question: Do you recognize Jesus when He is right in front of you? In this reflection, Father Jonathan connects the beautiful traditions of St. Lucy with the Gospel theme of sight and recognition. Just as the disciples on the road to Emmaus failed to recognize Jesus until the breaking of the bread, we are invited to reflect on where — and how — we see Christ today. In this video, we're invited to consider: • Do we recognize Jesus in the Eucharist? • Do we recognize Him in Adoration? • Do we recognize Him in the people we encounter each day — even the difficult ones? • And do we trust that Jesus recognizes us, even when others don't? This Advent reflection reminds us that Christ is alive — in the Mass, in the Eucharist, in our neighbor, and in you. And even when we feel unseen or unrecognized, Jesus knows us, sees us, and loves us. As we continue this Advent journey, let us pray for the grace to recognize truth, goodness, and beauty — and to become the saints God is calling us to be.

What is catechesis? Where did the way we teach and pass on our Catholic faith come from? On this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Dr. Scott Hahn and Dr. Petroc Willey sit down together for a rich conversation about catechetics, education, history, and the call to Christian discipleship. They discuss the release of Dr. Willey's new book, Light from Alexandria: Recovering a Vision of Christian Paideia for Education and Formation, a powerful new resource for catechists and anyone wanting to integrate philosophy, Scripture, doctrine, and education. There is so much more to spiritual formation than apologetic arguments.

Meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary: Glorious Mysteries One Who Descended So All Might Ascend: A Theology of the Glorious Mysteries This conference initially explores the deep unity and movement . . . . . . within the original fifteen mysteries of the Rosary . . . Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious . . . and shows how they mirror the central pattern of the Creed: Incarnation → Passion → Resurrection and Glory. The conference highlights how only one . . . Christ . . . descends from heaven, taking on our humanity, and then ascends again carrying that humanity into glory. Mary's Assumption confirms that where Christ has gone, we are meant to follow. The Time Scale of the Mysteries The meditation considers the time scale of the mysteries: • The Joyful Mysteries span about twelve years; • The Glorious Mysteries unfold across roughly 50 days followed by many years; • And, The Sorrowful Mysteries, in stark contrast, take place within a single intense day. The conference also gives attention to the public versus private character of the mysteries: Christ's passion is witnessed by thousands, whereas the resurrection and ascension are revealed only to a small circle of disciples. Jesus does not showcase His triumph; instead, He entrusts the proclamation of His resurrection to a handful who did not even witness the moment itself. The reflection then expands the First Glorious Mystery, urging a broader meditation on the many appearances of the risen Christ . . . from Mary Magdalene to the disciples on the road to Emmaus—emphasizing how His glorified humanity is the true pattern for our own. The Glorious Mysteries The Ascension is presented as Christ's heavenly enthronement, witnessed only by His disciples. It is inseparable from the Great Commission, in which Jesus commands this small, fragile group to evangelize the nations, promising His abiding presence and the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Third Glorious Mystery, Pentecost, reveals the Church's true beginning. The Holy Spirit descends not randomly, but upon the Church gathered on a Sunday, in prayer, in the place of the Eucharist, with Mary. Pentecost mirrors the Incarnation: as the Spirit once formed Christ's physical body in Mary, He now forms Christ's mystical body, the Church. The disciples step out into the world . . . and the world is already waiting, drawn by the Spirit. Peter's preaching leads to the conversion of more than three thousand, marking the start of the Church's mission to the nations. Overall, the conference shows how the Glorious Mysteries reveal Christ's victory, the exaltation of our humanity, the birth of the Church, and the continuation of the same divine movement from Incarnation to Redemption to Glory.

When the Spirit causes God's Word to burn in our hearts, we can't help but share it! It's what happened to Christ's followers on the road to Emmaus, and it can happen to you when you open your Bible. Nancy shares more in her message from Luke 24.

Fr. Mike highlights how Jesus didn't pray in order get something from God, he prayed in order to be close to God. He also points to Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as a perfect example of how we should pray with honesty and trust. Lastly, Fr. Mike provides insights on the significance of the walk to Emmaus and Jesus' last words on the cross. The readings are Luke 22:39-24:53 and Proverbs 26:20-23.
