Join Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson on Sermon Brainwave as they explore the readings for the 11th Sunday after Pentecost (August 24, 2025). This episode dives deep into Luke 13:10-17, the powerful story of Jesus healing a woman with a crooked back on the Sabbath - a healing that's really about liberation and freedom. The hosts unpack the unique aspects of this healing story, including why the woman is called a "daughter of Abraham" (the only time this phrase appears in Luke), what it means that she's "set free" rather than simply "healed," and how this story challenges our assumptions about bodies, health, and spiritual freedom. They also explore the Sabbath debate and how Jesus operates firmly within Jewish tradition while expanding our understanding of what the Sabbath is truly for. Additional readings discussed include Isaiah 58:9b-14 (or Jeremiah 1:4-10 for semi-continuous readings), Psalm 103:1-8, and Hebrews 12:18-29. The conversation touches on themes of liberation theology, biblical interpretation, prophetic calling, and the pastoral care embedded in challenging theological concepts. Commentaries for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost can be found on the Working Preacher website at https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/ordinary-21-3/commentary-on-luke-1310-17-6. * * * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

The Bent Woman and the Straight Truth (Luke 13:10-17) by Edgington EPC
In the Gospels, we see that Yeshua (Jesus) often chose to heal people on the Sabbath. Though some interpret these occasions as a challenge to the Sabbath itself, Yeshua's words and actions actually reveal what true Sabbath observance is supposed to look like. In this message, David Wilber focuses on a specific example of healing from Luke 13:10–17 and what it teaches us about Yeshua's perspective on the Sabbath.

In this insightful sermon, Chris Montgomery explores the teachings of Luke 13:22-30, focusing on the concept of the 'narrow door.' He discusses the challenges of maintaining one's faith in the face of societal pressures to conform, and the importance of focusing on Christ alone to truly understand His message. Montgomery emphasizes the need for humility and spiritual likeness to navigate the journey towards the new Jerusalem, urging believers to strive for a deeper connection with Jesus.

"So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple." - Luke 14:33
Our passage today includes a number of notable parables, some of which concern the nature of death and the afterlife. Jesus tells His disciples to enter by the narrow way, because the door to God's household will soon be shut and those outside will be turned away regardless of their proximity to Jesus. He compares God's table to that of a nobleman who hosts a banquet, only to be turned down by those he had invited. He therefore invites the weak, the poor, the blind, the lame, and those who are far off. Later, Jesus describes the joy in heaven over the lost who have been found, and tells the well-known parable of the prodigal son.Luke 13 - 1:12 . Luke 14 - 8:18 . Luke 15 - 15:16 .

God takes sin seriously. Because sin is injustice against God, He must uphold justice by punishing those guilty of sin. There is hope for everyone in the generous grace of the Lord, who calls us to repentance and faith while we're still here on earth, though we shouldn't wait to turn from sin and turn towards the saving power of Christ.

Join us as we continue in our series called "Parables in Luke". This weeks message from Pastor Cole Tawney is titled “Agonizing” and is from Luke 13:20-30. As followers of Jesus Christ we must be “striving” for the narrow door of the gospel and agonizing over others to find it as well with the time we have before the door is shut. Thanks for watching!
Stories have a way of sticking with us. As a master teacher and storyteller, Jesus didn't just spin tales, He told parables: short, simple stories that invited listeners into deeper truth.This summer, we're diving into the parables of Jesus. Stories about seeds and soil, lost coins and prodigal sons, hidden treasures and unexpected guests. These are more than just ancient tales; they are windows into the heart of God and mirrors that help us reflect his image and love more clearly.

luke 13
In the last few weeks in North Dakota we've seen some very destructive weather, including a once in a lifetime storm that resulted in some devastating fatalities. And in addition to the loss of human life, this storm left in its path the destruction of many people's homes and much other valuable property. In many ways and for many people, this event, in the truest sense of the word, was a tragedy. Now oftentimes when we see tragedies in the world, they sort jolt us awake to certain realities and force us to ask certain questions about the world, about God, and about many other things. The same thing was true in Jesus' day, and in Luke 13:1-5, we see a crowd of people coming up to ask Jesus about one of the tragedies of their day. They want to know what Jesus thinks about this and how he will respond, and Jesus, as he often does, gives them an answer that is quite surprising. In this sermon, I highlight two things in Jesus' response that teach us about how we should think about tragedies. #1 - All Earthly Tragedies Point to a Greater Tragedy#2 - The Right Response to Tragedy is RepentanceThis sermon was preached on Sunday, June 29th, 2025 at First Lutheran Church, in Hunter, ND.
In Luke 13 Jesus teaches through the parable of the weeds and the wheat. We learned that evil is real and intentional in the world. We also learn the posture that distinguishes the wheat from the weeds at the time of the harvest. Can you bow in humility like the wheat?
