Even at the height of suffering and shame, Jesus revealed His power to save by offering mercy to a dying man who had nothing to offer but faith. In that moment, a criminal saw not defeat but a King—and entrusted his life to the only One who could save him.Scripture Reference: Luke 23:39-43Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on April 18, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Scripture Reference: Luke 22:7-20

“Whether or Not You Think You're Worth It, Jesus Does” – A Palm Sunday Sermon on Luke 8 In this compelling Palm Sunday message, guest preacher Chasen Robbins unpacks the Parable of the Sower from Luke 8:4–15, offering deep insight into why people either continue or stop following Jesus. Drawing from Scripture, life experience, and even a nostalgic reference to The Sandlot, Chasen calls listeners to reflect on their spiritual soil—are we truly rooted in Jesus, or are we being choked out by the worries and distractions of the world? The message begins with a reflection on Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the painful irony that the same crowds praising Him would, just five days later, demand His crucifixion. This contrast sets the stage for the parable: a seed scattered freely across all types of soil—hard, rocky, thorny, and good. While the seed (God's Word) never changes, the soil (our hearts) determines the outcome. Chasen walks through each soil: • The Path – A heart hardened by the world and unable to receive the Word. • The Rocks – Shallow faith with no depth; easily withers in trials. • The Thorns – Faith choked by life's worries, riches, and pursuit of perfection. • The Good Soil – A receptive heart that hears the Word, holds onto it, and produces fruit with endurance. This sermon is a powerful reminder that spiritual growth is not about striving harder but receiving more of God's grace. It's not about being a perfect soil from the start, but being willing to let God transform us. Key Themes: • The generosity of God's grace and how it is scattered to all. • The difference between emotional hype and deep, committed faith. • The dangers of spiritual distractions and burnout. • The importance of spiritual rest and community. • The truth that Jesus sees your worth—even when you don't. Takeaway Quote: “Following Jesus doesn't remind us of how worthless we are. Following Jesus reminds us of how worthwhile we are.” Whether you are questioning your faith, weary from the weight of performance, or looking to go deeper in your walk with God, this message invites you to receive the love of Jesus in a fresh way. Who This Sermon is For: • Those feeling distant from God or unworthy of His love. • Christians longing for a deeper, more authentic faith. • Anyone wrestling with spiritual burnout or performance-based identity. • Those seeking rest, renewal, and hope. Chasen teaching style is deeply relatable and rooted in Scripture. With a pastor's heart and a clear love for the local church, he challenges and encourages all listeners to ask: What kind of soil am I today? And no matter the answer, he reminds us that transformation is always possible through the grace of Christ.

"O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

The Nerve of Him | Luke 4:1-13 The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness reveals the incredible arrogance of the devil. He dares to tempt God Himself—thinking, somehow, that he can claim victory over the very Word made flesh. His audacity is both appalling and foolish. But in this confrontation, we also witness the unwavering resolve of Jesus. Even after fasting for forty days, He stands firm, wielding the Word of God against the tempter. Unlike Adam and Eve, who fell into sin in the garden, Jesus remains steadfast. He does not waver. He does not stumble. Instead, He conquers the enemy with the truth of Scripture. As the hymnwriter proclaims: "You strove with Satan, and You won; Your faithfulness endured." (LSB #418 v. 2) Join us as we reflect on Christ's victory over temptation and what it means for us today.

Scripture Reference: Luke 9:28-36

How do you love those who make your life difficult? How do you bless those who mistreat you? Jesus' words in Luke 6:27-36 call us to a radical love—one that goes beyond fairness and justice to reflect God's mercy. Imagine hearing these words as a Jewish person living under Roman rule—facing oppression, heavy taxes, and the constant threat of violence. Loving your enemies wasn't just hard; it felt impossible. But Jesus wasn't asking for passive tolerance—He was calling for active love, blessing, and prayer even for those who wrong us. Join us as we explore what it truly means to love like Jesus—not just when it's easy, but when it costs us something. Can we really forgive? Can we really love like this? Only through the power of the One who first loved us.

Did you know that the Bible is about you? It's about so many things, but yes, it's true! The Bible talks about all the people of the world…our struggle, the love God feels towards us, and the good plans He has for us. When Jesus entered the world as a baby, the angel announced that it was Good News! Not just for a few people, not just for those who were religious. The angel declared that this news of Jesus' birth would bring great joy to all people. And that, of course, includes you! You might be thinking, “What does the birth of Jesus have to do with me?” Well, Jesus came for a purpose. He came to draw all people to Himself. He came to offer you a fresh start and a new life. He came so that you can be forgiven of your sins, and begin a free life, strengthened by a powerful friendship with the Living God. Remember, there is always hope with God. This is Andrew Palau.

Have you ever felt unqualified for a big task? Maybe it was your first time staying home alone, driving a car, or starting a new job. That feeling of doubt—Am I really ready for this?—is something we all experience. In this sermon, we look at the calling of Simon Peter and the disciples in Luke 5. Jesus asks them to follow Him and become "fishers of men." Peter, recognizing his own sinfulness, falls at Jesus' feet, overwhelmed by his inadequacy. But Jesus doesn't call the perfect—He qualifies the called. God uses weak vessels like us to share His Word, not because we are capable on our own, but because He works through us. You may doubt your ability to share the gospel, but Christ qualifies you. Join us as we explore how God calls ordinary, imperfect people to do extraordinary work for His kingdom.

Through the lens of Charles Wesley's beloved hymn Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, we journey through scripture, history, and the transformative power of God's love. Discover the deeper meaning of the angelic announcement in Luke 2:10-11, the contrast between earthly kings and the true King, and the cosmic significance of Christ's arrival as heaven and earth are reconciled.Whether you're singing along with the hymns or reflecting on the shepherds' response to the good news, this message invites you to embrace the joy of the gospel, live under the reign of God's peace, and share the hope of salvation with others.

Scripture Reference: Luke 2:8-20 When the angels appear to the shepherds in the countryside fields outside Bethlehem, they do so because they are finally being granted permission to sing about what they LOVE to contemplate: the scope of the Christian Gospel.

Scripture Reference: Luke 1:5-38

Have you ever wanted to share the Good News of Jesus but didn't feel like you had the right words? We do not need to rely on eloquence. We can just tell what He's done for us. The first ones to share the Gospel were a bunch of young shepherds. Most likely, children, dirty from tending sheep. An angel woke them up and told them, “Good News, a Savior has been born!” The Bible says... They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. What these kids shared with everyone was not a polished sermon. It probably sounded more like, “You'll never believe what happened to us last night!” We can all share the Good News just like that. It's that simple. Tell someone today about what God has done and what He has done in your life. Remember, there is always hope with God. This is Andrew Palau.

In this episode of the Impact Nations Podcast, Tim and Steve explore the parable of the fig tree from Luke 13. They delve into the layers of symbolism and meaning behind the fig tree, a central figure in both parables and prophetic action. Join the discussion as they compare Jesus' parable of the fig tree with His prophetic act of cursing the fig tree in Matthew, discovering how both grace and judgment are themes running throughout these passages. Through their conversation, Tim and Steve examine how this parable is not only about Israel but also points us to the deeper spiritual realities of God's mercy and the consequences of turning away from Him. Together, they unpack the importance of repentance, the warning of destruction, and the gift of grace extended through Jesus.

Scripture Reference: Luke 10:17-20

You know that feeling when you're standing on the edge of a pool, and you *know* the deep end is going to be cold, maybe even a little uncomfortable? But you also know you've gotta jump in? That's pretty much what Luke 5:1-11 is all about. In today's episode, we're breaking down how Jesus told Simon Peter to get uncomfortable and go out to the deep waters, even after a night of catching nothing. And guess what? Simon *didn't* want to—who would after a long, frustrating night? But because he trusted Jesus, the blessing that came next was beyond what he could've imagined. As Christian businesswomen, we're often called to go deeper too. We want the success, but we don't always want the deep end that comes with it—the risk, the unknowns, the fear. But what if that's exactly where God has your breakthrough waiting? Today, we're talking about why the blessing isn't in the shallow end and how you can trust God even when the water feels murky and you're not sure what's under you. TAKE AWAYS: 1. Obedience Isn't Always Comfortable – Simon was tired and over it, but he trusted Jesus and let down the nets again. What uncomfortable thing is God asking you to do in your business that you're resisting? 2. The Deep End Holds the Blessing – Peter didn't find his abundance in the shallow, safe waters. Sometimes, you've got to take that uncomfortable dive into the deep to experience the success God has waiting for you. 3. Dealing with the Fear Factor – The unknown can be terrifying, but faith calls us to act anyway. How are you handling those moments when fear is screaming louder than your faith? 4. Letting Go of Your Safety Net – We love control, right? But growth doesn't happen when you're clinging to what feels safe. We're talking about what it looks like to release your grip on control and trust God's bigger plan for your business. SCRIPTURE REFERENCE: Luke 5:1-11 – Jesus tells Simon Peter to go deeper, and even though Simon hesitates, he obeys. The result? A catch so huge, his nets almost broke. It's a story that shows us just how much God can do when we're willing to get uncomfortable and trust Him in the deep. CALL TO ACTION: It's time to stop playing it safe and start trusting that God's got something amazing for you on the other side of the deep end.

Do you feel far from God? If so, you are not alone. As humans, we make mistakes, and we fail, we fail again and again, but the truth is, God never abandons you. Jesus tells a story in Luke 15 about a lost sheep. He says that when a shepherd loses one sheep, he leaves the 99 other sheep to go searching for the 1 lost sheep. Jesus says… And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Realize the truth right this moment—God has picked you up and put you on His shoulders. Let Him do it; He's in the process of carrying you home. I hope you know you can still serve God, still worship Him, still come to Him no matter what you have done. Let Him carry you on His shoulders. Trust that whatever you are going through right now will become a story of God's victory in your life. Remember, there is always hope with God. This is Andrew Palau. Scripture Reference: Luke 15:5-6 radio.hopewithgod.com

We are constantly working and trying and striving to create a home here that will never be possible. Honestly, the true meaning of home is people, isn't it? The people we love, the people we would die for, protect, the people we'd pour out for- this is what home is all about. The thing that shakes us is that the home we long for and we need can so easily be lost. One day, we will all breathe our last, but there is a home for us with eternal love that can never be taken away. God says in the book of Jeremiah that He loves us with an everlasting love. That word everlasting means: Always, ancient, eternal, without end. God offers this to you—an everlasting home with everlasting love. Always remember, there is hope with God.
