Scripture: Luke 2:7

How should Christians view their money and their possessions? We're looking at the Gospel of Luke, because Luke has much to say on this subject. How does God want us to think about money in general? What should our attitude be toward it? How should we relate to giving and spending? In Luke 14, we see two things: 1) Jesus Christ lays out a standard for sacrificial giving that's so astonishing it will seem unreasonable, and 2) Jesus actually shows how reasonable this kind of giving is. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 20, 2010. Series: Money and Possessions – In the Teaching of St. Luke. Scripture: Luke 14:7-24.

Scripture: Luke 1:5-25; Series: A Thrill of Hope; Speaker: Monte French, Senior Minister

Scripture: Luke 1:11-38 //Preacher: Scott Purdue

This message is a compelling, hope-filled invitation to re-center your life on the resurrection of Jesus—not as a metaphor, but as the very foundation of reality. Through humor, history, and the locked-room moment in Luke 24, Pastor David invites us to consider what we're truly banking our lives on.From broiled fish to broken expectations, the resurrected Jesus meets us in our doubts, fears, and failures—not with condemnation, but with clarity, peace, and purpose. This message explores the hope, substance, and power of resurrection and what it means for us today: to fight, to rest, to love, and to stand firm. Because if Jesus really did rise from the dead, everything changes.You're not chasing shadows. Your hope is secure.He's alive—and so are we.

Today's Scripture - Luke 17:11-19Gratitude doesn't just change your circumstances — it changes you.

November 23, 2025 Life in the next world is not like this one with people being married. All parts of Scripture declare there is a resurrection including the books of Moses. We must have a belief system regarding the next life that is based on Jesus' teaching and not on human speculation. Scripture: Luke 20:27-38

Everything disciples do is shaped by the kingdom we belong to, one that belongs to Jesus and not to news headlines. Scripture: Luke 23:33-43

The forty-second message from the Book of Luke which highlights our response to Jesus' Gospel. The test of greatness. Scripture: Luke 9:46-56 Response in Prayer and Life: 1.) In what area of your life do you often see yourself as being superior to others, even to the point of exclusion? 2.) Why do you think that is? (past hurts, cultural or family conditioning, etc.) 3.) What step is the Holy Spirit encouraging you to take, so that your heart aligns with Jesus' heart, rather than the disciples?

In times of hardship, we often endure our struggles by leaning on things, ideas, or institutions which are not as infallible as we may believe. When Jesus warns the disciples about the eventual collapse of all things, He is also teaching them to discern where they are placing their trust instead of in God. Life's trials are an invitation to return to God, who not only fulfilled his promises in Scripture by sending us a Savior, but who continues to show up each day as our rock and our refuge. In a world over which we have so little control, we have Jesus, who has overcome the world and has promised to walk with us to the very end.   Scripture: Luke 21:5-19 The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times 5 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” 7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” 8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,' and, ‘The time is near.' Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.” 10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. 12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13 And so you will bear testimony to me. 14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15 For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 Stand firm, and you will win life.

Scripture: Luke 18:9-14 

In every culture, we're drawn to do good. Yet Jesus reminds us that our works lose their meaning when they become monuments to our own name rather than a response to God's grace. The Pharisee in the parable shows how self-trust and comparison can distort even good practices, while the tax collector reveals the hope found in depending entirely on God's mercy. We often forget that grace is what begins every good work in us—and when righteousness becomes our personal ambition, it quietly separates us from both God and others. The way forward is through daily confession and a humble return to God, trusting His righteousness—not ours—as the true source of any lasting good. --- Scripture: Luke 18:9–14 (NRSV) The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax-Collector 9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: 10 ‘Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax-collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, “God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax-collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.” 13 But the tax-collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” 14 I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.'    

November 2, 2025 The story of Zacchaeus shows how Christ came to seek and save the lost. Scripture: Luke 19:1-10

Deacon Scott Madison | October 26, 2025 Deacon Scott unpacks the parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector with refreshing honesty, challenging us to see ourselves in both characters. Through a vulnerable personal story and the powerful reminder that "justice for the oppressed can feel like oppression for the oppressor," he reveals how most of us live in the "mushy middle" of God's grace—part holy, part complicit, but always beloved.

God, I'm coming to you first.Keywords: Look; explore; seek; first; direction; follow.  Scripture: Luke 

In a world that celebrates busyness, it's easy to believe our value comes from what we do. But in Luke 10, Jesus reminds Martha that Mary “has chosen what is better.” This message looks at how we often get trapped by distraction, pride, and people-pleasing—mistaking activity for identity—and how to refocus on what truly matters: being present with Jesus.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, overworked, or disconnected from God, this is your reminder to slow down, sit at His feet, and rediscover the one thing that matters most.Scripture: Luke 10:38–42Main Idea: Who you are determines what you do—not the other way around.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today's Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49512439Stay Updated on our Campus: https://linktr.ee/nlcsearcyOnline Giving: http://newlifechurch.tv/givingMailing Address: 2851 West Beebe-Capps Expy, Searcy, AR 72143For more information on our campus, email us at searcy@newlifechurch.tv or visit newlifechurch.tv.

Scripture: Luke 17:11-17  11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a] met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” 14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

One of the central tensions of the Christian life is reconciling unmerited salvation and earning our repentance. How can grace be completely free—given despite our sin—while we are also called to actively love others as Christ has loved us? Through the story of Zacchaeus the tax collector, Scripture reveals how these two truths coexist: we receive salvation as a free gift, yet we also embrace the cost of repentance for the sake of love. The good news of the Gospel is that salvation and love are utterly free. This marks the beginning of our redemptive love story with the Father and compels us to pay it forward by loving others in return. ------ Scripture: Luke 19:1-10 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Many people today think of Christianity as a set of beliefs you take up, something you decide upon. But the Bible says Christianity is something that comes upon you. It's not something you pick up—it's something that picks you up.  Jesus Christ is not a passive Savior. Jesus is not someone who sits back and waits for you to figure it out. He is a revealer. He makes a provision for us, he comes after us, and he shows us the truth. Let's look at this prophetic ministry of Christ: 1) what he does, 2) why he does it, and 3) how he does it. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 16, 1994. Series: Understanding Jesus. Scripture: Luke 24:44–53.
