A study through the gospel of John. Pastor Luke kicked off John chapter 7 with the question, "Who is Jesus to you?"

Pastor Luke kicks off our summer series, The Blessed Road Traveled, following the life and travels of Jacob. In today's message, we learn how God blessed Jacob, even though Jacob's actions gave his journey a shaky start. Scripture reading: Genesis 25:22-28, 27:30-41.

In this sermon, Pastor Luke wraps up the "Unshakable Faith" series by addressing how believers can maintain strong faith during life's trials. He shares a personal story about his father-in-law's diagnosis with primary progressive aphasia, using it as an example of a faith-shaking experience. The main point of the sermon is that "because of who Jesus is, you don't have to remain shaken by life's trials." Pastor Luke outlines five steps to respond to faith-shaking experiences: 1) Don't be surprised, 2) Turn immediately to God, 3) Embrace the emotions, 4) Lean on the faith of others, and 5) Allow your faith to be a witness to others. He grounds these points in scripture, particularly Matthew 7:24-27, which talks about building one's life on the solid rock of Christ. Pastor Luke concludes by emphasizing the importance of basing one's life on Jesus Christ, using the acronym B.A.S.E. (Believe, Accept, Switch, Express) to explain how to build a foundation of faith. He encourages listeners to examine whether they're building their lives on the bedrock of Jesus Christ or something else, reminding them that only faith in Christ can remain unshakable in the face of life's storms.

Pastor Luke wraps up our “Rooted” programming year by talking about how we are rooted in hope. Scripture reading: Colossians 2:6-15.

When we become Christians, we become part of the body of Christ and the family of the children of God. Those names may sound better than another name: the Church. The problem with the Church is that it has people in it. And since people are all different, it's not always easy to figure out where we fit in relation to them. Pastor Luke preaches from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 in "Microbiome," the concluding message in his series, "Down to Earth."

Pastor Luke Simmons examines the meaning of faith in this installment our series in Hebrews.In this sermon, he focuses on Hebrews chapter 11, exploring what faith is and what it isn't. Pastor Luke addresses common misconceptions about faith—challenging us to consider how everyone places faith in something.Discover why faith is more than optimism or self-confidence, but a trust in God's promises.Join us as we explore how living by faith means acting as though God's promises are certain, even when unseen.00:00 - Introduction04:42 - What Faith Is15:48 - What Faith Isn't27:44 - Everyone Actually Lives by Faith (in Something)**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

What is the relationship between your faith and your imagination? In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:35–58, Pastor Luke Herche encourages us to strengthen our faith by feeding our imagination. Listen as Pastor Luke helps us to consider the future that God has in mind for us--and to see how that helps us to live in the present--via three points: the body will be raised, death will be defeated, and your labor is not in vain. Sunday Morning Worship, May 4, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: What are some different ways one might imagine a resurrection body? Which of those ideas are grounded in Scripture and where? What might be the danger of not believing/confessing the resurrection of the body? How might that shape our view of the body and this present life? What does Paul emphasize about the resurrection body? What questions are not answered by what Paul says? Can you think of other places in Scripture that might speak to that? When has your work felt vain, fruitless, meaningless? How does our future resurrection give weight to our present labor? If you believe that, how do you think it would change the way you work? What can you do to get to that point? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.
