Lead Pastor Ashley Mathews preaches from the Gospel of Luke on the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost.
This week, Charlette and David dive into the Gospel of Luke, reflecting on how we use our resources for communal good and how we work through discomfort. With thoughtful conversation and practical takeaways, they explore how this passage invites us to live faithfully in our world today.Faith to Go is a ministry of The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego.

The lecture begins with a reading from the Gospel of Luke, specifically chapter 14, verses 16-24, which introduces a parable about a great feast. Within the parable, Jesus likens God's invitation to His kingdom to a grand banquet, where many initially invited make excuses for not attending. The narrative unfolds to reveal the host's frustration and his subsequent decision to invite the marginalized—those who are poor, crippled, blind, and lame—highlighting the theme of radical hospitality. Through this story, the speaker, Ian, emphasizes the importance of inclusion and the open-hearted invitation from God to all, regardless of social status.Transitioning from the parable, Ian draws connections to a real-life account involving Derek Black, a former white supremacist who found transformation through unexpected hospitality from Matthew Stevenson, an Orthodox Jewish peer. This personal example serves as a poignant illustration of the power of connection and understanding in overcoming prejudice. Ian posits that Derek Black's change was not the result of forced confrontation or theological debate, but rather the genuine, costly hospitality extended to him. This transformation underscores the series theme of core values at St. Moses Church—hope, hospitality, and holiness.Further into the lecture, Ian outlines the church's annual practice of reaffirming membership, explaining that this annual renewal serves as a reminder of commitment to the community and faith. He shares personal anecdotes regarding communication and invitation dynamics, comparing modern tools to ancient practices—especially the double invitation system employed in hospitality of the past. With a focus on cultural context, Ian explains that banquets in the ancient world were not merely social gatherings but indicators of status and reciprocity, thus exemplifying the depth of neglect experienced by those excluded from such table settings.As the narrative unfolds, Ian poignantly critiques the dismissals presented as excuses in the parable, noting the human tendency to prioritize personal agendas over spiritual invitations. He questions the audience's spiritual appetite, suggesting that many have become desensitized to the richness of God's invitation, opting instead for the mundane concerns of daily life. The speaker warns against becoming complacent in our relationship with God, drawing parallels to the parable's characters whose misplaced priorities prevented them from experiencing the joy of the feast.The lecture shifts to highlight the host's unexpected actions—inviting those from the margins. Ian emphasizes that this radical hospitality stands in stark contrast to the norms of the time, depicting a God who shatters cultural boundaries to bring in those often disenfranchised. He describes how these actions of the host illustrate a radical departure from societal norms regarding honor and reciprocity, insisting on an understanding that God desires a filled banquet, inclusive of the marginalized.In his deep dive into the theological implications of the parable, Ian connects Jesus' words to larger biblical narratives, particularly from the prophet Isaiah, who spoke of a similar banquet for all people, signaling God's abundant grace. This biblical vision, featuring the inclusion of the poor and marginalized, is positioned as central to understanding the mission and message of Jesus. Ian elucidates that the call to hospitality reflects the very heart of God—a theme he urges the congregation to embrace.Towards the conclusion of the lecture, Ian explicitly articulates what hospitality means as a core value at St. Moses Church, asserting that true hospitality resembles the radical and sacrificial love embodied by Jesus. He challenges conventional notions of hospitality that often prioritize comfort or status and redefines them through the lens of the Gospel. Ian frames the church's mission as a commitment to embodying this radical hospitality—sharing resources, building relationships across divides, and engaging in genuine community for the benefit of all.Ultimately, Ian's exhortation culminates in a call for personal reflection and action, encouraging congregants to participate in the church's mission of hospitality, not merely as a social nicety but as a profound expression of faith and community. He concludes with a prayer, inviting the congregation to open their hearts to God's transformative work within themselves and their community, thereby extending the radical hospitality they have received from Him to others.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 15th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 21:28. Jesus says:”Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”Then we go to Revelation 1:7:”Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.”This morning, the Lord says to you and me, “Lift up your heads because I am coming back and I'm coming back very soon.” The signs are all around us, folks. How much more terrible must it become on this earth before the Lord returns? He has promised us He's coming. He goes on to say in verse 29. He says: ”Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.” In South Africa, summer is near. Outside the window of my little prayer room, I have a beautiful fig tree that my young daughter gave me a couple of years ago as a gift. We have planted it. I want to tell you, it is budding. What is it telling me? It's telling me that summer is coming. Now the Lord says, when you see all these terrible things happening on the earth, be prepared for My second coming because these are the signs that I'm coming back for my people.All those young mothers will tell you that when they are pregnant for the first time and dad is so excited and waiting for their first baby to be born, they have everything ready. Everything is in place. They've got the room prepared. They've got the cot, the special blankets, the special colours. I don't know whether it's blue or pink, it doesn't matter, but I want to tell you one thing, when that baby says, ”I'm coming”, you'd better be ready because that baby is coming irrespective of what you say. That is how it is with the Lord. He's coming in the clouds. We must be ready. Prepare yourselves, prepare your hearts, prepare your children, prepare your family, prepare your friends. Tell them, Jesus is on His way.God bless you and have a wonderful day as you lift up your heads and wait because He's coming in the clouds, and we can't wait for that day!Have a lovely day, Jesus bless you and goodbye.
Celebrating is always fun, but it's even better when shared with family and friends. In today's passage from the Gospel of Luke, Jesus intervenes amidst criticism from religious leaders for dining with sinners and tax collectors, whom society considered traitors. Through parables of a shepherd finding his lost sheep and a woman recovering a lost coin, Jesus illustrates the joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents compared to 99 righteous individuals. And, in both stories, a crowd is invited to join in the celebration that ensues.

The Gospel of Luke
This morning, as we begin our season of generosity, our worship will center on the well-known story of the prodigal son from the Gospel of Luke. In telling the parable, Jesus teaches us that faithful generosity springs from relationship -- our relationship with Him, His unending generosity toward us, and the life we share as His body, the Church. We'll see that God's generosity is not earned or calculated; it is a gift that calls us into deeper connection with one another. Join us for worship and be reminded that generosity is not something we do to settle accounts, but the natural fruit of being held in the generous embrace of Christ. Sermon on Luke 15:11-32, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on September 14th, 2025.
Pastor Marco continues his study through Luke.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 12th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 20:38. Jesus says, “For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.” You and I do not worship a god made of stone or wood, which is carved by human hands. Oh no! He is alive, He is well and He wants to talk with you and me today. I have been to Israel many, many times. I love that place. I always go to the Old City and I go to the tomb to see where the Lord Jesus Christ was buried, and I want to tell you, my dear friend, there is nothing in that tomb. It is empty! “Why?” you might say. Because Jesus rose from the dead. He is not there. Even when Mary Magdalene went down early in the morning, to find the body of Christ, He was not there. He was alive, He was risen, and He is well, and He wants to talk with you and me even today. You can go to David's tomb, also in the Old City, and his remains are there, that's right, his bones are still there, but Jesus is not dead, He is alive. I see Him so often as a farmer. I see Him in the early morning sunrise as the sun comes over. I see Him in the evening, in the sunset when the sun is starting to set. I can see Him in the face of a newly born baby. I can smell the Lord when there has been rain after a period of dryness. You can smell that perfume. He is alive, He is your God, He is my God and the good news is, He is coming back very soon to take you and me to be with Him in His house forever. So today, worship the Lord, praise His name, speak with Him because He wants to have fellowship with you, and open your spiritual eyes and you will see Him all over the place.Jesus bless you and have a great day,God bless,Bye.

Lead Pastor Ashley Mathews preaches from the Gospel of Luke on the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost.
It's not uncommon to sing songs or participate in activities in which we talk about laying down our burdens. And yet, Jesus says, “take up your cross and follow me.” What's it going to be... or is it a little of both? Well, in this week's Gospel passage from the 14th chapter of the Gospel of Luke, it seems that the cross wins. No one ever said being a disciple was going to be easy, but Jesus did say we wouldn't have to do it alone. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith as they consider what it means to do Jesus' way.

The Gospel of Luke
Pastor Marco continues his study through Luke.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 7th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We go to the Gospel of Luke 20:2:“Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?” I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word “authority”, and one of the meanings is “recognised knowledge or expertise.” Folks, Jesus had it all. He had the ability. Whenever He walked into a place, people stood back. Remember when the soldiers tried to arrest Him in the Garden of Gethsemane, the night He was betrayed? When He spoke, they fell to the ground. Peter recognised who Jesus was. He actually said to Him, ”Get away from me, Lord, for I am an unclean man,” when he saw the miracle that Jesus performed with the fish at the Sea of Galilee.They asked William Carey, the man who took the Gospel of Jesus Christ to India. The theologians questioned him and said, "What qualifications do you have?” One man, being very sarcastic, said, ”I believe, you are just a shoemaker.” “ Oh no, Sir.” He said. ”I'm not a shoemaker. I'm a cobbler. I can't make shoes, I can only repair them.” But I want to tell you that man translated the Bible into Sanskrit, into Hindustani, into languages that are so very difficult for anyone to understand. He became the Chief Interpreter in the High Court of Delhi.I want to say to you today, if Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviour, if He has forgiven you of your sins, you have the authority, you have the power and the knowledge and the expertise to tell others about Him. Remember that song, I've sung it before, but I need to sing it again today with you. A beautiful song and I want you to sing it with me.He paid a debt, He did not owe,I owed the debt, I could not pay,I needed someone to wash my sins away.And now I sing a brand new song,Amazing Grace,Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.He paid a debt for me and He paid a debt for you. If you love Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, that will give you the authority to go into all the world and tell people that the Lord Jesus Christ has given you the authority, and you are born again and you belong to Him!Go out today and sing that song from the top of your voice,Jesus bless you and goodbye.

During “ordinary time” we walk with Jesus through the ordinary days of his life, just as he walks with us through the ordinary days of ours. Jesus invites us to see things as they are, to let go of attachments that hold us back, and to embrace the way of the cross that leads to life.

In his famous prologue, Luke indicates that his Gospel is addressed to a “most excellent Theophilus.” As others had done, Luke decided to write an orderly account about the things Jesus had accomplished “among us.” So, was Luke suggesting that both he and Theophilus had witnessed some of these events? And since Theophilus was described with such an honorific title, is it possible to see him as the Jerusalem high priest mentioned by Josephus?

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast. This episode explores Luke's life and work—his role as a beloved physician, a careful historian, and the traveling companion of Paul—and explains why Luke is recognized as the author of both the Gospel of Luke and Acts. In this message, it emphasizes Luke's commitment to accurate research and his theological focus of God's provision of salvation for all people: Gentiles, outcasts, women, the poor, and the oppressed. The episode traces Luke's prologue to Theophilus, his sources, and his purpose of presenting Jesus as God's plan of salvation available for everyone.
This episode is part 25 in a study of the gospel of Luke. First we visit the home of Martha and Mary, then Jesus' diciples ask him to teach them about prayer. He responds with the Lord's Prayer.

Sometimes the hardest part of preaching isn't what to say, but how to pace it. Do you go short and topical, or do you take your people on a long, steady journey through an entire book of the Bible? Today I want to share why we're about to begin a two-and-a-half-year walk through the Gospel of Luke, and why I think it's time to go the second mile in letting God's Word set the pace.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 3rd of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Gospel of Luke 19:40: ”But He answered…” Jesus answered,”… and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” We need to be free to praise and worship the Lord as we see fit. Let us not judge people because they happen to be a bit loud in church. Yes, I am talking about myself as well. I can't help it. When I go into a church, I want to praise the Lord at the top of my voice. I want to raise my hands because I love Him so much because He's done so much for me. Don't restrict other people praising God just because you don't.Now, I don't mind if people want to be quiet and they want to worship the Lord in the quietness of their heart, that's fine, but if others want to dance around the church, how can you stop them? I want to say to you, God is looking at the heart. Don't show off in front of other people, not at all, but don't hold back. Don't restrict people from telling Jesus they love Him, by showing Him by the way they worship Him. He says if you don't, the very stones will shout out and cry out!One of the places where I really love to worship the Lord? Early in the morning, I go out and I ride my mountain bike. Sometimes it's so early I've got to use a light because it's still dark, and while I'm riding my bicycle, I smell the fresh morning air. I hear the birds singing. I can see the sun just starting to come up. It's a new day, it's a new opportunity and I just let rip. I think some people think I've lost it when they come past! I just praise Him and worship Him because I love Him so much because of what He's done for me and my loved ones. Please do the same. There is power in praise. When you start to praise the Lord, all those burdens begin to fall off you because you start to remember exactly who He is and what He's done for you and me.So have a wonderful day, praising and worshipping Jesus, Goodbye.

Pastor Ben concludes out study through chapter 12 of the gospel of Luke. Sunday August 31, 2025.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 1st of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 19:35: “Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.“ I want to speak to you today about miracles, small miracles. There is no such thing, of course, as a small miracle. It's either a miracle or it's not a miracle. Now, I have been riding horses for fifty years. I am still riding a horse. I think you know him, maybe better than you know me. His name is Snowy. He is now 19 years old and he is still a beautiful horse and he is doing me so proud. But I don't want to talk to you about that. I want to talk to you about a young donkey, a male donkey, a colt, that has never ever been ridden before. Jesus got on that donkey and rode him into Jerusalem, into a crowd that was shouting and screaming and praising and throwing their clothes on the road, and waving palm branches all over that donkey. He never once tried to run away, tried to bite someone, tried to buck the Master off his back - not once! Have you ever thought about that?What I want to say to you today is that we must get used to small miracles. That old lady trying to find a parking place because she has got sore legs: “Lord, just open a parking place for me in front of the supermarket, please.” And what happens? Oh yes, because she believes. The problem is, a lot of us don't.When we started farming, Jill and I didn't have very much money at all. Often that vehicle of ours would be on empty. Some people say that “empty-e” stands for enough! It's not funny. It's amazing how the Lord makes that vehicle go just that much further. When we did that huge prayer meeting in Bloemfontein when the boys were mowing down a thousand hectares of grass, people would bring in diesel to fuel the tractors, and many times the young men would come to me and say, “Oom Angus, we don't know how this works. That bowser was supposed to be empty two days ago, and it is still producing diesel and filling the tractors, every single day.”Trust the Lord for your miracle today and He will not disappoint you.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Friends of the Rosary,As we read today, Sunday, in the Gospel of Luke (14:1, 7-14), Jesus was invited to dine in the house of a leading Pharisee. The Pharisees were convinced of their own perfect knowledge and observance of the law.Noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table, Jesus told them, through a simple parable, where their pride would lead them."When you are invited,go and take the lowest placeso that when the host comes to you he may say,'My friend, move up to a higher position.'Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table.For every one who exalts himself will be humbled,but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."Also, "When you hold a banquet,invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."The takeaway from today's reading is clear: Our Lord invites us to conduct our affairs with full humility.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New York• August 31, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
