Sermon Scripture: Luke 6:27-36Whether you are a student in school, a young adult navigating friendships and dating, a working professional, a parent of kids, or a wise elder, we are constantly faced with people who get in our way, who block our goals, are mess up our flow, our way of doing things, or perhaps who actively oppose us, threaten us, or harm us. As cliche as it sounds, we are constantly presented with the challenge of loving our enemies.Across time and cultures, the Golden Rule remains a universal moral guide, promoting a more compassionate and just society—but it is not easy. It remains one of the most challenging aspects of our daily lives.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 5:1-11, Isaiah 6:1-8God has proclaimed, “Unto us a savior is given,” and Jesus has invited us to come and see, go and tell — “making Christlike disciples in all the earth.” So today, we consider the call of God upon our lives and we find encouragement in God's equipping and guiding us in living the call.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 3:15-17, 21-22, John 1:43-51 The message for the first day of Epiphany was that the light of God has shined upon all humanity. Today, the message on this first Sunday of Epiphany is that accompanying the light of heaven, comes its power, presence, and potency invading our humanly form; our weaknesses, our strengths, our very being. Heaven not only shined upon us, heaven opened right up and descended to dwell within us.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 This week we hear the story of Jesus' presentation at the temple, where Simeon and Anna recognize Him as the long-awaited Messiah. Their joyful proclamation reminds us that God is faithful to fulfill His promises, even after years of waiting and longing. As we celebrate Christ's arrival, we are invited to live like Simeon and Anna—devoted, watchful, and ready to declare His light and salvation to the world.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 The truth that we celebrate in Christmas is that the light of the world has come. Jesus Christ, our messiah, our savior is born. This is why candle light is so important at Christmas. These lights proclaim the THE light has come.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 God chose Mary; 15-years old, poor, and unwed. He chose Elizabeth, a senior in the old folks home, used up, overlooked, too old. And you know what? He chooses you! This anthem for a new age that Mary sings about, this different kind of Kingdom that she envisions, that Jesus comes to demonstrate, it only happens when it is lived out in you. In our contemporary context we need a Christianity formed by the Magnificat. In the American superpower we are typically inclined toward ideologies of success and anthems of strength. But the grace of God does not run uphill toward the pinnacles of success and strength, it rolls downhill toward the low places of humility and trust.

SERMON SCRIPTURE: Luke 2:4-14 4 Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. 5 He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 8 In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: 11 to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.' 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, 14 ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favours!

Sermon Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 “Because of the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to shine upon those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” (Luke 1:78-79) These words spoken by the priest Zechariah at the birth of his son John (the Baptist) profess the goodness and faithfulness of God in keeping the promises given and bringing peace. Yet, the world Zechariah lived in was anything but peaceful. This week, we consider how to be and enact peace.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 24:35-48 When Jesus designates his followers as witnesses, a term that becomes very important in Acts, he is saying that they have seen in him the fulfillment of God's plan for the world's salvation and that, by the very nature of that plan, they are called to share the story — to be his witnesses.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:22-40, Isaiah 61:10-62:3 The community of faith matters! Why else would Mary and Joseph in their poverty make the effort to bring Jesus for dedication? How else could Simeon and Anna have known the tune which they were listening for? How else could they have known what consolation to bring to others? How else could they have been so perfectly poised to lead the community in God's new song of life? What will be our song in the coming year?

Sermon Scripture: Luke 12:22-34 Creation is an expression of God's generous love. He's the host, and we are his guests in a world of opportunity and abundance. But God does not stop there. We're then called to keep the party going and to spread his goodness. This is a beautiful picture, but it's not the way we tend to experience the world. Instead, all too often we experience a world of scarcity and struggle, NOT abundance. God is exceedingly generous, and even when our circumstances or our mindset might deceive us into a posture of scarcity, he reminds us that by trusting him we can experience abundance in lavish proportions — providing more than enough to join him in becoming a generous host to all that we meet.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 11:5-13 This week we will be focusing on talking WITH God, which simply means, “sharing with God what is on our mind.” In this, our prayers will include a few critical elements. Gratitude — talking with God about what is good in your life and world Lament — talking with God about what is evil in your life and world Petition and Intercession — asking God to fulfill his promises to overcome evil with good. May we embrace prayer as we ask God to act and do things only he can do in the world; as we give God the space to do what only he can do in us.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 11:1-8 Jesus did all sorts of amazing things, but the disciples do not ask Jesus to teach them how to heal the sick, or to cast out demons, or perform miracles. They ask him to teach them how to pray. The disciples were smart enough to know that Jesus was experiencing something in prayer that they were not.  Prayer wasn't a duty, but a delight. He really enjoyed his Father's company. In prayer Jesus was drinking from and replenishing a deep well, and they wanted a taste of the water.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 24:33-35, John 15:1-11 The best way to engage in the consolation of the peace of Christ in the wake of fear and doubt is to rehearse what he said and to put it into practice. Among the many things that Jesus shared with his closest friends and family at the table of the last supper, the  night before his crucifixion, was the familiar metaphor of the vine and the branches which says; we are the branches, we have a clear and simple role which has a very specific outcome, to bear fruit, and the fruit that is to be borne is very specific. It is to enact all the things Jesus said and did. To love God and love others as best we can. May we remain grafted in the vine, connected with one another, and open to the pruning of the gardener.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 24:1-12, 13-32, 48-49 Have you been moving toward doubt, fear, anger, frustration, impatience, annoyance these days? Or have you been moving toward greater faith, hope, love, kindness, peace, and patience? The consolation of God is not simply an optimistic view of the resurrection for us here in holy week. The consolation of God is an invitation to living life with open hands rather than clenched fists.  May we be God's hopeful people living with open hearts and open hands. May we not dwell in desolation. May we not stay in the darkness. Rather, may we move into the light. May we KNOW and REMEMBER the story of Jesus and God's quiet-persistent-unstoppable Kingdom. May we live in open handed, consolation with God and with those around us.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:21-40 Sermon Big Idea: Jesus was worth the wait and is now worth the weight. Luke 2:21-24 The One who redeemed us was redeemed with a sacrifice. Luke 2:25-35 The One deemed “Prince of Peace,” was a source of chaos. Luke 2:36-40 The One waited for was worshiped in wonder. Jesus was worth the wait and is now worth the weight. Those in Christ have been redeemed. Those in Christ will experience chaos. Those in Christ should How COVID has affected us The post Consecration of Peace appeared first on Kalkaska Church of Christ.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 4:14-21, Isaiah 61:1–4 Love is our culminating Advent theme as Jesus, God with us, enacted the power of love to bring freedom, restoration, and healing to all who would receive it. As Jesus takes the mantle of love upon himself, he does so in a very specific way. Once again fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 61, Jesus reveals what the power of love unleashed in our world can do. It became the manifesto of Jesus' own ministry, and it shows us, as followers of Jesus, what our lives should look like.

Nate Dunkin, Icon Community Group Leader and Partner, continues our Advent series entitled Advent Lessons. He preached from Luke 1-2 and walked us through the fulfillment of the Old Testament that Jesus brings. Sermon Scripture: Luke 1:67-80

Pastor Josh kicks off our Advent series entitled Advent Lessons. In this series, we will explore four key aspects of how Jesus came into the world, and why they are critical to our faith. This week starts off by exploring the virgin birth of Christ. Sermon Scripture: Luke 1:26-38

Sermon Scripture: Luke 23:33-34, NIV The cross is the center of the Christian faith, and the symbol of Christian churches around the world. But what does it mean? An event as significant as God in flesh dying on a cross and being raised from the dead cannot have just one meaning. Your Sin Forgiven! What does this mean for each of us? Our sin does not keep you from God. Divine posture toward humanity is one of love and embrace. Your sins are forgiven! The work is done. Forgiveness has been offered, all we have to do is respond! Our response is to accept God's forgiveness and enter into life with God through confession and repentance.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 9:18-36, Deuteronomy 18:14-22 NLT On this Transfiguration Sunday, we investigate the prophet Moses and how his life points us to the Gospel of Jesus.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 (NRSV)   Peace comes from the Hebrew word “Shalom” which means wholeness or harmony. We can experience this peace in our personal lives through connection with God, ourselves, and others. But we can also think about peace on a broader scale and ask questions like,  “How peace is experienced in the world?”  Shalom in the world points us to things like the end of war, violence, hatred, and division. The prophet Isaiah, in thinking about the coming Messiah, described this person as the “Prince of Peace.” Christ is the one who would be capable of bringing personal peace to our lives, as well as peace to the world at large.  As a sign of God's rule in our lives we strive to be at peace with one another. We also strive to work for peace in the world.

Sermon Scripture: Luke 6:43-45

Sermon Scripture: Luke 6:37-42

Sermon Scripture: Luke 24:36-43 (NRSV) Jesus says, "Look at my hands and feet and see that it's me. Touch and see." He eats in front of the disciples and even mentions that he isn’t a ghost. There is a clear attempt to make sure the reader of the gospel knows that Jesus appeared to the disciples in a physical body. The resurrected Christ is the same person as the historical Jesus. The One who conquered sin and death through death and resurrection is the same as the one who performed miracles, cared for the poor, and loved the sinner. While it may seem obvious, the truth is that we tend to live out our lives of faith emphasizing the eternal Christ while sometimes ignoring the historical Jesus. This theological mistake affects how we live!

Sermon Scripture: Luke 19:28​-40 What is “Palm Sunday”? It's the Day we commemorate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, which is also the beginning of “Holy Week”, the final days of Jesus's life before his crucifixion. All four gospels record this event. John tells us that the people cut palm branches and took them to meet Jesus, thus the term, Palm Sunday. As we read through Luke's account, we will discuss three reasons Palm Sunday matters. Supporting Scripture: Isaiah 64:6, Luke 19:10​, John 3:16​-18, John 12:12​-13, John 12:27​, 2 Corinthians 5:21​, Jude 1.24, Revelation 7:9-10

Sermon Scripture: Luke 1:46-55 (NRSV) Mary was a devoted teenager who loved God. She, along with others, was waiting for God to do what he had promised through the prophets to do; send a king in the line of David who would set things right. After an encounter with the angel Gabriel, Mary uttered her most famous words, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.”  She then offers a song of praise recorded in Luke 1:46-55. With this song, Mary announced the beginning a kingdom Mary Mother of Jesus Luke 1:46-55 (NRSV) December 20th that stands in stark contrast to any nation (past, present, or future). 

Sermon Scripture: Luke 24:1-12 (NRSV) We are in the third Sunday of Advent. During Advent this year, we are exploring the stories of women who have helped to share the Gospel in their generation. Perhaps none of these are more important than Mary Magdalene. If you'll extend some me some grace, let's explore this resurrection story during Advent. All four of the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - place Mary Magdalene at the scene of the resurrection as the first witness to this world-changing event. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central story of Christianity. And at the center of the resurrection story is Mary Magdalene. This should not be overlooked. The importance of this would be hard to overstate....but how did Mary get here? How did she become the person right in the middle of it all?

Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:36-40 (NRSV) This week we begin a new series called "Her Story."  Our motivation for this series is to try and elevate the stories of women who have done important work for the Gospel and whose lives are a faithful witness to Christianity. I want to elevate these stories because for too long portions of the Christian church have held down the stories of women or have relegated women to corners of the kingdom when, in fact, women have always played a key role in furthering the good news of Jesus. During this series, we'll look at stories of women found in the scriptures as well as women throughout history who have embodied the Good News found in the scriptures. We begin, with Anna the prophetess.
