Megan, our Youth Pastor, continues our Wisdom for Life series. From Luke 6, Megan unpacks Jesus’ teaching that good or bad fruit comes from our hearts.

True repentance must deal not only with sins against God, but also with trespasses against other people. From Luke 17, Matthew 18, and other scriptures, we learn that trespasses involve the harm, offense, injury, or dishonor we bring upon others, and that they cannot simply be ignored while claiming to be right with God. Forgiveness, restitution, humility, and reconciliation are necessary parts of walking in love, because love works no ill to its neighbor and seeks peace wherever possible. We, as believers, need to examine whether we have wronged others, seek forgiveness where needed, forgive those who have trespassed against us, and live as new creatures who fear God, love others, and stop walking carelessly over the lives of people around them.

Christians in the Church Must Become Christians in the Marketplace of Unbelievers MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke (10:1-20): Life Laborers Are Few This “Life Lesson from Luke” focuses upon the Apostle Luke in the context of “Luke the Evangelist” – telling the good news of Jesus the Christ. Introduction:  Jesus, in Luke 11:11-13, compares asking God versus an earthly father being asked by his son: “What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”. God desires to give to us before we even ask Him but ask, we must. Since we must ask for the Holy Spirit, it is good to begin our daily prayers with: “Lord, fill me with the Holy Spirit.”. From Luke 11:1-13, we have a Life Lesson on Prayer. Life Laborers Are Few:  As Jesus sends the Seventy-two out on a mission trip (Luke 10:1-20), He tells them, in Luke 10:2: “And he said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'". As in the First Century, today we can make the same observation as Jesus: “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few” – where are the laborers for His Kingdom today? People all around us are in need. This passage from Luke 10:1-20 reveals God's plan and model for evangelism – the ministry of the Gospel. Further, Jesus instructs us to: “pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” – God's harvest. This model for the ministry of the Gospel is not just for Clergy, this model is for all followers of Jesus. To meet the needs of today's plentiful harvest, the Christians in the Church must become the Christian in the marketplace pf unbelievers. To be effective in this plentiful marketplace, we must be ourselves and a willing vessel for God's will and for God to fill us with the Holy Spirit. Additionally, we must be a willing laborer for the ministry of the Gospel – the harvest is plentiful. Be God's hand!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE SEARCH: www.AWFTL.org/bible-search/ A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

“Jesus, Teach Us To Pray” MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke (11:1-13): Life Lessons from Luke on Prayer This “Life Lesson from Luke” focuses upon the Apostle Luke in the context of “Luke the Evangelist” – telling the good news of Jesus the Christ. Luke emphasizes Jesus' prayer life. The Apostles, including Luke, would have seen Jesus pray every day and night, over three years, as they followed Him. In Luke 11:1, the Apostles asked Jesus: “Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.'”; and Jesus responded to their request for teaching them to pray in Luke 11:2-4:”he said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.'”. In Luke 11, Jesus' instruction to His Apostles and us includes a model prayer in four sections: 1) praising and glorifying God; 2) asking for God's Kingdom to come to be communicated across the Earth and to be accepted by all; 3) confession of our sins and a request for God's forgiveness of our sins along with God's guidance to be like Him in forgiving those whom we believe have not done well for us; and 4) praying for other's needs, our own sustenance, and God's help for us to live a righteous life. Ask Jesus both to teach you to pray and lead you to a person that can teach you to pray. Then in Luke 11:2-13, Jesus taught His Apostles how to pray “The Lord's Prayer”. From Luke 11:1-13, we can envision God standing, with His hands wide open, to bless us; but we must pray and ask. Be persistent in praying to the Lord and asking, as Jesus has instructed us through the Gospel of Luke and, indeed, like we are consistently instructed throughout the New Testament.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life.

Pete gives us a sneak peak at an imminent series in Luke. From Luke 7:1-17 Pete draws out a vivid picture of 2 crowds who meet at the gates of a town called beautiful. One tribe is led by a grieving widow at the head of the funeral procession for her son. The other tribe has at its head the Son of God whose heart goes out to this suffering daughter. At Jesus' command, the grave is defeated and death flees before the author of life.

Welcome to Day 2904 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2904– “The Ultimate Close Encounter”  based on Luke 9:51-62 Putnam Church Message – 06/14/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Snapshots From An Amazing Album.”   Last week's message was “Snapshots From An Amazing Album,” in which we studied four snapshots from Christ's ministry. Today, we continue with our twenty-eighth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “A Face Like Flint.” Our core passage today is Luke 9:51-62, on page 1611 of your pew Bibles. Samaritan Opposition 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[a]?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village. The Cost of Following Jesus 57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” 62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today grateful for the steady, determined love of Jesus Christ. We confess that our hearts are often divided. We are distracted by comfort, delayed by excuses, wounded by rejection, and tempted to look back when You call us forward. Lord Jesus, as we watch You set Your face toward Jerusalem, help us see the depth of Your love and the seriousness of Your mission. Teach us what it means to follow You with unreserved sacrifice,>undivided devotion,> and unwavering commitment. Give us courage to press on. Give us grace to forgive. Give us faith to follow. May Your Word shape our hearts today. Amen.   Introduction: The Finish Line in View The 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles gave us one of the most unforgettable marathon moments in Olympic history. Gabriela Andersen-Schiess entered the stadium near the end of the women's marathon, but something was terribly wrong. Heat exhaustion and dehydration had taken hold of her body. Her legs were stiff. Her movements were uneven. Her body looked like it might collapse at any step. Doctors moved toward her, but she waved them off because if they helped her, she would be disqualified. She had already run more than twenty-six miles. Only a few hundred meters remained. So she kept moving. / Step by painful step. / Lean, stagger, recover. / Another step. / Another step. / Another step. For nearly six agonizing minutes, she willed herself forward until she crossed the finish line and collapsed into medical care. What stayed with people was not that she won the race. She did not. What stayed with people was her determination. The finish line had become her single focus. She had come too far to quit. In Luke 9:51, Luke brings us to a major turning point in his Gospel. Jesus has healed the sick, calmed the storm, cast out demons, raised the dead, fed the multitudes, revealed His glory on the mountain, and taught His disciples what the Kingdom of God is like. / But now the story turns. Luke says, “As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.”  That phrase — “Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem,” — is powerful. It draws from the Old Testament image in Isaiah 50:7, where the Servant of the Lord says, “I have set my face like flint.” Flint is a hard stone. It does not bend easily. It is not soft clay. It is firm, sharp, and unyielding. Jesus set His face like flint toward Jerusalem. / Why Jerusalem? Because Jerusalem was where betrayal waited. Jerusalem was where rejection waited. Jerusalem was where false trials waited. Jerusalem was where the cross waited. Jerusalem was where the tomb waited. But Jerusalem was also where resurrection would break the power of death. Jerusalem was where salvation would be accomplished. From this point forward in Luke's Gospel, the cross is always in the background. Every conversation, every parable, every miracle, every encounter is moving Jesus closer to the place where He will give His life for the sins of the world. The theme of this passage is simple| but demanding: Jesus pressed on toward the cross, and He calls His followers to press on after Him. Here are the four truths that we can glean from today's passage, as found in your bulletin insert on the side ‘A Face Like Flint.' Main Point 1: Jesus Set His Face Toward the Father's Mission Luke tells us that the time was approaching for Jesus to be taken up. That points beyond the cross, beyond the grave, beyond the resurrection, all the way to His ascension. Jesus knew the whole journey. He was not stumbling into Jerusalem unaware. He was not trapped by circumstances. He was not surprised by the hostility waiting there. He was not swept along by political events beyond His control. Jesus knew where He was going. And He went anyway. That is love. In the previous message, “Snapshots From An Amazing Album,” we saw Jesus tell His disciples again that He would be handed over into the hands of men. They did not understand. They were afraid to ask. But Jesus understood fully. He knew the cost before He paid it. / Now, He begins the journey. This is the beginning of what many Bible students call Luke's “travel section.” From Luke 9:51 through much of chapter 19, Jesus is moving toward Jerusalem. Luke will remind us again and again that Jesus is on the way. He is not He is not He is not He is pressing on.     Ancient Context: The Servant With a Flint Face Isaiah 50 gives us the background. The Servant of the Lord says He gave His back to those who struck Him, / His cheeks to those who pulled out His beard, / and His face to humiliation and spitting. Then He says, “Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone.” That is the spirit of Luke 9:51. Jesus knew humiliation was coming. / He knew suffering was coming. / He knew the cross was coming. / Yet He set His face like flint. This is not stubbornness. Stubbornness can be foolish. This is holy resolve. This is obedience anchored in the Father's will. Object Lesson: Flint and Clay Hold two objects: a piece of soft clay and a slate. Clay can be pressed, shaped, bent, and changed by almost any outside force. But flint is firm. It holds its edge.

Ghost Stories Pt. 3 | The Spirit-Filled Believer What does it really mean to be like Jesus? In Part 3 of our Ghost Stories series, Pastor Harrison teaches that we're not called to simply imitate Jesus on the outside—we're transformed into His image through the work of the Holy Spirit. From Luke 3, we see that the Holy Spirit: • Affirms our identity as God's children. • Sends us out with purpose. • Equips us to live the life God has called us to. The Christian life isn't about striving harder—it's about being transformed by the Spirit. Scriptures: Luke 3, Luke 4, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Romans 8:16, John 14:12, 1 Corinthians 12 #HolySpirit #GhostStories #KingdomChurch #SpiritFilled #Jesus #BibleTeaching

Fatherhood is more than providing, protecting, and showing up to the games. It is covenant. It is a call It is speaking life, direction, and truth into the next generation — even when it feels thankless, invisible, or overwhelming. In this powerful message, "The Joy of Fatherhood," we explore the deep biblical connection between a Father God who is relational and intentional, and the fathers He has commissioned to reflect that same love. From Luke to John, from 1 Timothy to 1 Corinthians, this message is filled with Spirit-led insight, raw honesty, and life-giving hope for every dad, spiritual father, and man who wants to walk in purpose. "You have a covenant with a Father who delights in you — One whose love is patient, enduring, and eternal. That same love flows through you into your children, your home, and your legacy. "The Joy of Fatherhood" is a timely, faith-filled word for every man stepping into the most important role of his life. Listen now, this is your moment, Dad. Step into the business of the Father. There is no greater joy than walking in the Father's business — and raising children who do the same. The Kingdom is coming; His will is being done — and you get to be part of it.

Through the Father's EyesFrom Luke 15:11-32. What do you think God the Father feels about you?

Jesus didn't treat God's house casually… so why do we? In this powerful message, we're challenged to break out of comfort, inconsistency, and “just showing up” Christianity—and step into a life of real honor, surrender, and discipleship. From Luke 4:14–16, we see Jesus moving with power, purpose, and consistency. This isn't about legalism—it's about raising our level of reverence for God, His Word, and His house. If Jesus made it a priority, so should we. This message confronts the drift into casual faith and calls a generation back to what is sacred. For more information about Bishop Gallardo or Lifegate Church visit www.briangallardo.com or www.lifegatekc.org.

Revival starts when I stop letting my Past define Me, and this message goes straight to that truth. In this week's conversation on The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan and Rowland talk about what Revival really is, why shame loses ground when the Word of God speaks, and how Romans 4:17 points us back to God's power to call things that are not as though they were. This Bible study brings a clear warning and a clear hope. If I keep living by memory, failure, and old wounds, I will keep agreeing with the lowest version of myself. But when I let Scripture define my identity, I begin to see what God says about me in Christ. I am called righteous. I am called holy. I am called blameless. The message also draws a sharp line between Revival and awakening. Awakening is when the lost come to life in Christ. Revival is when believers wake up again, get fresh fire, and return to obedience, worship, and hunger for God. That difference matters, because the church cannot settle for routine religion when God is calling His people higher. You'll also hear a strong warning about spiritual warfare, identity, and the battle between what should be and what is. From Luke 4 to 1 Corinthians 2:9, this teaching points back to the Word, the Spirit, and the need to stop playing games with God. Revival begins in honesty, repentance, and a renewed mind. If you've felt weighed down by shame, disappointment, or self-condemnation, this message will point you back to the hope of the gospel. God still speaks a better word over Me, and His truth is still able to bring change. Watch this full teaching and ask the Lord to renew your mind, revive your heart, and call you back into His purpose. #Revival #Past #Faith #BibleStudy #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

Jeremy Dunne preaching From Luke chapter 12.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 310), I explore the highest levels of generosity and the joy of giving as God intends. From Luke 19:20–30 and the story of the unnamed donkey owner to David's lavish gifts in Jerusalem, we see that God blesses those who obey and give with a cheerful, open heart. Tithing anchors our giving, but God calls us beyond the minimum into a life of grace, delight, and freedom. Whether through finances, time, or spirit, surrendering to God's “The Lord has need of it” brings unexpected blessing, joy, and abundant life. Experience the thrill of generosity and learn to live fully in God's grace.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Coming to the Highest Levels of Philanthropy(00:03:05) - Prayer for the Colt(00:05:02) - The Man Who gave the Donkey on Palm Sunday(00:10:24) - The New Ford F-250(00:16:31) - Tithing and Forgiveness(00:21:40) - The Joy of Giving(00:26:47) - Send the Holy Ghost to Your Life(00:31:19) - The Joy of Tithing(00:35:24) - A Diamond Ring Offering(00:40:42) - A million-dollar gift to SEIU(00:45:16) - How Much Money Should You Give?(00:49:03) - All God's Blessings for the Church(00:50:47) - The Leader's Notebook

Send us Fan MailA hard question sits at the center of this Good Friday message: when Jesus prays, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,” who is the “them.” We follow a provocative reading that points not only to empire and executioners, but to religious leaders and believers who protect comfort, status, and institutional survival while an innocent man is murdered.From Luke 23:34 to 35, the line “the people stood by watching” becomes the hinge. We talk about the silence of the church as a real moral force, not a passive absence. The sermon draws straight lines from biblical history to Christian social justice today, arguing that churches can get lost in debates and performance while communities are crushed by policy, poverty, and violence. The result is a faith that sounds loud inside the sanctuary and goes quiet where pain is public.To widen the lens, we bring in Martin Luther King Jr. on the “appalling silence” of good people and Martin Niemoller's warning about what happens when you only speak up once harm reaches your doorstep. We also point to Janelle Monae's “Hell You Talmbout” as a cultural witness that turns grief into naming, and naming into action, especially amid conversations about Black Lives Matter, racial justice, and police violence.If you've ever wondered why younger generations distrust church talk that never becomes public courage, this is for you.

Enthronement. 'Incompaniment'. Enlargement. From Luke into Acts, we follow the same story as it unfolds: Jesus enthroned as King, His Spirit given within His people, and His life moving outward to all nations. This is not just what happened then. This is what continues now.

The first command the risen Jesus gives His disciples after forty days of resurrection appearances isn't "go." It's "wait." In this message from Acts 1:1-11, we sit in that tension and ask why the gap between what God has called us to and what we're currently experiencing often comes down to one word: power. From Luke's prologue to Theophilus, to the disciples asking the wrong question about Israel's kingdom, to the ascension itself, every word in this passage is loaded with mission. The ascension isn't a footnote. It's the coronation of a King who now rules and reigns at the right hand of the Father, and we are not ambassadors of a defeated cause. You were placed in your city, your neighborhood, and your family in 2026 by a God who wastes nothing, and this week you have one assignment: name your Jerusalem and have one intentional gospel conversation. You weren't born into this moment by accident. You were born for it.

Teddi and Tamra have a question for the husbands on The Valley: Are you lacking in brain cells?! From Luke’s insensitivity towards Kristen to Danny’s consistently bad jokes… Cringe! Plus, Teddi’s getting the scoop directly from the source. When Jesse Lally decided to put Teddi and Lacy Nicole in a groupchat, she got to hear a different side to the story…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Luke 22 we remember the suffering of our Savior for our sins

On Friday the cross was a disheartening and confusing event. But it wasn’t the end! On Sunday Jesus came alive and appeared to the disillusioned to give them new hope and purpose. From Luke 24

Jesus doesn't drift toward the cross, He walks there with His face set and His purpose clear. From Luke 19:28–40, we follow the Triumphal Entry and see a King who arrives in humility on a donkey while the crowd shouts praise and the Pharisees demand silence. The scene is Palm Sunday beauty with Good Friday weight, because Jesus knows exactly what Jerusalem means.We unpack three anchors for everyday faith: the intent of Jesus is firm, the authority of Jesus is sure, and the worship of Jesus is inevitable. That road to Calvary is not a last-minute fix or a backup plan. Scripture ties it together from Genesis 3 to Isaiah 53 to Revelation's picture of the Lamb, showing that redemption has been on God's heart from before the foundation of the world. If you've ever wondered whether God's love is personal, this passage answers with a Savior who chooses the cross on your behalf.Then Luke's “small” detail becomes a big comfort: Jesus directs two disciples to a colt and everything happens exactly as He said. The same Jesus who rules the universe also rules the overlooked moments, which means you can trust Him with the “big” crisis and the “small” prayer request. Finally, we face Jesus' words, “If these were silent, the very stones would cry out,” and we talk honestly about misdirected worship, the danger of worshiping people, and the certainty of Philippians 2 that every knee will bow.Listen, share this with someone who needs hope, and then subscribe and leave a review. What part of your life needs to turn back into worship today?

What does the cross actually mean for your pain?In the final week of Built Different, we look at Jesus—the ultimate example of spiritual resilience—and walk through the darkest road he ever traveled. From Luke 4 to Isaiah 53 to the crucifixion story, this message explores why Jesus came, what he endured, and how his suffering brings healing, freedom, and life to the full.If you've ever wrestled with pain, exhaustion, grief, shame, or inner turmoil, this message is an invitation to bring all of it to Jesus. He understands suffering, he carried our pain, and by his wounds we are healed.We would love for you to join us in person next weekend at any of our seven locations nearest you.Support the show

From Luke 18:35–43, this message challenges us not to miss Jesus in the middle of familiarity. While the crowd was close, only the blind man truly saw the King—and his life was changed.

In the new No Longer series leading to Easter, Pastor Dave traces a hard tension: Scripture says we're "no longer slaves" to sin—so why do so many Jesus-followers still feel trapped? From Luke 23's darkness and the torn temple curtain to Paul's language of dying with Christ in Romans 6 (with Galatians 5:1), the message frames the cross as victory that doesn't just forgive sin but breaks sin's power. Then it turns practical—showing how gospel clarity about identity, honest confession (James 5), and life in community become the tools Christ gives to walk in that freedom.

In order to extend the love of God to others, we must be on guard against our own self-righteousness. Jesus tells a parable that challenges those who look religious, but don’t have the heart of the Father. From Luke 15

If new creation has any chance of reshaping and remaking us, then we have to do the hard work of listening. And here's the thing. If we are listening to Jesus, we are going to be rattled now and then. Our way is going to be out of alignment with his way now and then. And then we have to choose who to follow.    From Luke 6, let me just rattle it off. Love enemies. Pray for those who mistreat you. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Refuse to use violence to get back at those who've used violence against you. Help the hurting. Be kind to those who are not grateful for your kindness. Be merciful. Judge yourself. Forgive. Let me say this in case it's not obvious yet. New Creation Living is not exclusively owned by any of our political parties. A Christian's priority is their citizenship in God's kingdom.  

PTL (Part 5). Worship is more than singing — it's a life returned to Jesus. From Luke 17, discover what it means to receive God's grace and return to the Giver.

Meeting Jesus: Wednesdays Evenings In Luke With Dr. Clint Archer. Tonight's Sermon - When God Prays: Blood, Sweat, & Fear In Gethsemane, From Luke 22:39-46.

From Luke 10:25–37, this sermon explores the Parable of the Good Samaritan and what it means to love our neighbor through service. We're reminded that mercy flows from the compassion Jesus has shown us - and calls us to respond with lives marked by availability, generosity, and action.

From Luke 4, on Super Sunday, Pete shares how he feels God is calling us into a time of Jubilee.

As we begin a new year at Integrity Church, this standalone message calls us to start with the right foundation. From Luke 14:25–33, Mature and Multiply challenges us to honestly examine who—or what—has preeminence in our lives. Jesus makes it clear that following Him is not about adding Him to our schedules or priorities, but about surrendering everything to Him. This sermon invites us to count the cost of discipleship, reject half-hearted faith, and embrace a life where Jesus is not merely part of our lives, but our life. As we look ahead to a new year, this message sets the tone for growing in spiritual maturity and multiplying our lives for God's mission.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

What if the quiet ache beneath your busyness, stress, and exhaustion is really a longing for joy? Not hype. Not fleeting happiness. But a joy that lasts, even when life feels heavy.In this Advent message, we explore how Christmas doesn't give us instructions to find joy, but an announcement that joy has come. From Luke 2 and Romans 15, we're reminded that joy isn't something we achieve through better circumstances or stronger emotions. It's something we receive when we remember what's already true in Christ.If you're tired of joy that fades, weary from trying to manufacture excitement, or longing for a joy that doesn't require you to perform, this message is for you. Discover how true joy grows as we trust the good news: you are fully forgiven, deeply loved, completely secure, and never alone...because the Savior has come.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:Where do you most notice joy fading in your everyday life?Which of the “indicators” stood out to you the most, and why do you think that one hit close to home? (Celebrations not sticking, emptiness after getting what you wanted, exhaustion from manufacturing excitement, nostalgia, or performance pressure.)How have you typically thought about joy before this message? More connected to circumstances, feelings, or something fragile?Which gospel truth feels hardest for you to trust right now? (Fully forgiven, united with Christ, deeply loved, secure, or complete. What makes that one challenging to believe?)What might it look like for you this week to “watch the video” and remember what is already true?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

From Luke 2:8-20

This week's Advent teaching explores Mary's Magnificat and the kind of love God reveals through the coming of Jesus. In a moment of vulnerability and uncertainty, Mary responds with worship, pointing us to a love that is not sentimental but deeply personal and active. From Luke 1, we see that God's love notices the overlooked, […] The post Advent Week 3: Luke 1:46-55 – The Love that Sees, Saves, and Sustains appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.

Jesus didn’t just come to teach us or inspire us; He came to reconcile us to God. In this Advent episode, Nicole explores Hark! The Herald Angels Sing—one of the most beloved Christmas hymns—and reveals how richly it is woven with Scripture. With more than 34 direct biblical references, Charles Wesley’s hymn is far more than a seasonal melody; it is a sweeping declaration of the Gospel. Nicole walks listeners through the incarnation, reconciliation, new birth, and the cosmic hope that Jesus brings. From Luke 2’s angelic announcement to Romans 5’s explanation of reconciliation, this episode unpacks why this hymn is actually a lyrical theology lesson celebrating Christ’s mission to redeem humanity. Main Takeaways: Why this Christmas hymn is actually a full retelling of the Gospel message How Luke 2 connects to the angels’ proclamation of peace and joy What “God and sinners reconciled” truly means according to Romans 5 The significance of Christ “laying His glory by” and becoming fully God and fully man Why being “born again” is the heart of the Christmas message How Jesus brings spiritual life that cannot die—even when our physical bodies do

You can be taught the truth and yet not be certain of it. And you can be a Christian and still have doubts from time to time. These are two important realities concerning our walk with Jesus. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson shows how God has chosen to help us with these difficulties. From Luke 1:1-4 we get massive insights into God's own remedy to these common, pesky, and serious problems.

From Luke 21:5-19 Fr. Greg encourages us to keep our faith not because pain isn't real, not because the cost isn't high, but cling to it because our victory has already been won in Christ Jesus.

Here's a sobering truth from Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: it's possible to know your Bible inside and out but still miss Jesus. From Luke 24, Nancy reminds you of your need for the Spirit to open your eyes and help you behold Him.

In this message, Pastor Matt Brown closes out The Peace Series with one of the most transformative revelations of the gospel: peace is not something we chase — it's who we already are in Christ.From Luke 17 and Colossians 3, Pastor Matt teaches that the Kingdom isn't a distant reality waiting to come to us, but a divine presence already alive within us. The call of stillness isn't to disengage, but to awaken. Through the renewal of the mind, we begin to live from union — not for it — allowing the government of His peace to reign within us.This episode invites you to stop striving for peace and start living from it.

Did you know that often times, the very things Jesus did, said, or taught, were the very things the religious establishment placed under the highest form of scrutiny?  It wasn't all because Jesus defied the law or the prophets, as some may assume; contrarily, Jesus came as the embodiment of and fulfillment of the law and the prophets. This begins a new series called, “The House of Simon: A Picture of the Modern Church” with part 1 titled, “The Untouchables.” From Luke 7:36–50, we see a moment when a broken, sinful woman poured out her tears and her costly ointment at the feet of Jesus. While Simon the Pharisee looked on in judgment, Jesus looked on with love. The challenge for today's church is clear: If it were us as Simon, will we respond with pride and distance, or with humility and compassion? True Christianity isn't about keeping our hands clean—it's about reaching out to the ones who not many care to engage with. Evangelism isn't always pretty, but when devoted fully to the leading of the Holy Spirit, it is always powerful. Watch as we discover what it means to walk in humility, restore the broken, and reflect the love of Christ in a hurting world.

Discover how Jesus' ministry was supported and sustained in this powerful Morning Prayer with Pastor Sean Pinder. From Luke 8:1-3, we learn how faithful men and women partnered with Jesus to make the Gospel known, and how God still uses people today to advance His kingdom. Be encouraged that your support, prayers, and obedience play a vital role in God's plan.

Jesus deliberately chose twelve diverse disciples who would naturally clash with each other, demonstrating that God's kingdom unites people who would never choose each other naturally. From Luke 6 and Acts 2, we see that following Jesus means embracing both the beauty and messiness of authentic community. The early church devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer, yet they also faced conflicts and divisions.We are called to work out our salvation together with commitment and faithfulness rather than perfection. Spiritual formation happens primarily in community through long-term relationships that serve as crucibles for growth. At The Upper Room, this happens through Sunday gatherings and Table Groups where we practice being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing what Jesus did.The sermon challenges us to grow in two specific areas. First, hospitality - becoming hosts rather than guests in our church community and extending welcome beyond our immediate circles. This builds the unity Jesus prayed for in John 17. Second, mission - not as an activity we do, but as our identity as sent ones. We live as people sent into every ordinary moment of our lives.Each Table Group is encouraged to regularly pray for specific people far from God, asking to be used in their lives. The message concludes with the church community walking together to consecrate new land for kingdom expansion, emphasizing that buildings are tools for making disciples, not ends in themselves.URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship

This week on Shat The Movies, Gene and Big D close out the original Star Wars trilogy with a deep dive into Return of the Jedi (1983). Fueled by nostalgia, Minute Maid and vodka cocktails, and the crushing realization that not all endings stick the landing, the hosts explore the Ewok invasion, Jabba's deadly circus act, Boba Fett's humiliating demise, and the absurdity of Imperial helmet design. From Luke's questionable Force skills to the Empire's laughable "elite troops," nothing escapes the Shat boys' critical eye. Along the way, they celebrate Carrie Fisher's iconic (if problematic) gold bikini moment, mourn for Ewoks lost in battle, and dream up a darker, deadlier version of Endor warfare. Was this the fitting finale Star Wars deserved—or an early warning of Lucas' merchandising empire run amok? Tune in to find out! Plot SummaryA year after Han Solo's capture, Luke Skywalker launches a risky mission to free his friend from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt. After a daring escape involving Sarlacc pits, lightsabers and a lot of questionable strategy, the Rebel Alliance turns its attention to the Empire's new and even deadlier Death Star. Luke confronts Darth Vader once more, hoping to save his father from the Emperor's grip, while Han, Leia, and a band of unlikely Ewok allies attempt to destroy the shield generator on Endor. The fate of the galaxy hinges on battles fought in the forest and the throne room—where redemption, betrayal, and tiny bear-like warriors collide.
