Pastor Andy Cass Sometimes we dress Jesus in outfits He never wore—branding Him based on our disappointment, expectations, or pain. But the real Jesus doesn't need a rebrand—He just wants to be remembered as He truly is: Savior, King, and Friend. TEXT: Luke 23:9–11, Luke 23:39–43, 2 Kings 9:6, 2 Kings 9:11–13, Zechariah 9:9, 2 Samuel 6:12–16, 2 Samuel 6:22, 2 Timothy 3:5, Luke 19:35–40 NOTES: -Today I want to remind you: brand has power—more than we'd like to admit. The same is true when it comes to Jesus. How you see Him will shape how you think, act, and live. -How has your disappointment dressed (branded) Jesus? -How has your desires dressed Jesus? Superhero Jesus: “Jesus shows up just in time... until He doesn't.” Genie Jesus: “I do my part, and He delivers exactly what I want.” “It's like the vending machine ate your prayer.” Firefighter Jesus: “I got my salvation card—now I'm good!” “Jesus isn't just fire insurance for emergencies—He wants to be part of every season.” Cotton Ball Cloud Jesus: “He's beautiful and distant—probably too busy.”

He Is Risen: The Easter Invitation Luke 24:36–49 | Easter Sunday Message | Flourishing Grace Church Speaker: Pastor Benjer McVeigh This Easter message from Flourishing Grace Church invites you to explore one of the most powerful post-resurrection moments in Scripture: Jesus appearing to His disciples in Luke 24:36–49. In the wake of grief, fear, and doubt, Jesus steps into the room—not just as a symbol or a memory, but in bodily resurrection power—and speaks peace over them. In this sermon, Pastor Benjer walks us through three personal and transformational invitations Jesus makes—then and now: An Invitation to Examine The disciples were startled, frightened, and filled with doubt. But Jesus doesn't shame them or push them away. Instead, He invites them to see and touch His wounds. To eat with Him. To experience His real, risen presence. If you've ever struggled with questions or disbelief, this is where Jesus meets you: not with a lecture, but with an invitation to come closer and see for yourself. An Invitation to Bring Your Questions to the Word Jesus opens their minds to the Scriptures—showing them how the Law, Prophets, and Psalms all point to His suffering, death, and resurrection. Questions aren't disqualifying. In fact, asking good questions is part of faithful discipleship. If you've ever been told not to question, or that faith requires blind belief, Jesus models a better way: one rooted in God's Word and God's patience. An Invitation to Witness Jesus commissions these same doubting, fearful followers to share the good news with the world. Not because they're perfect, but because they've experienced His grace. To witness simply means to tell others what you've seen and experienced—and Jesus sends His Spirit to empower us to do just that. This message is for you if: You've ever felt like faith was for people who “have it all together.” You have questions, doubts, or past experiences that are hard to reconcile with faith. You believe in Jesus, but you've kept that belief private or quiet. You're wondering whether God could use someone like you. Pastor Benjer reminds us: the resurrection is a historical event with eternal significance. And if Jesus really rose from the dead, then everything changes—including what's possible in your life. About the Text: Luke 24:36–49 tells the story of Jesus appearing to His disciples after His resurrection. Though they are filled with fear and disbelief, Jesus responds with peace, patience, and purpose. This moment is more than reassurance—it's a commissioning. A declaration that this message must go to all nations, and it begins with those who were once unsure. Quotable Moments from the Message: “If the resurrection didn't happen, we are of all people most to be pitied.” “Jesus doesn't say, ‘Get your act together first.' He says, ‘Come and see.'” “The Bible knows nothing of a follower of Jesus who isn't telling others about Jesus.” “Jesus doesn't shut down our doubts—He invites us to explore them through His Word.” Next Steps: If today's message stirred something in you—whether it's a question, a renewed curiosity, or a desire to follow Jesus—we'd love to connect.

Text: Luke 24 : 13 - 35James Martin

Text: Luke 22:14-53 Our ideas of the way things should go and God's ideas of the way things should go don't always line up. So how does Jesus show us what it means to be fully human when it seems like all is lost?

Text: Luke 5:17-26; variousTheme: As we get closer to Easter, we want to take a look at what we can do to help people find Jesus. So, this weekend, we will talk about bringing our friends to Jesus… and how it changes everything for them. Key Verses: Luke 5:20 (NIV) When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the man, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49417774

Pastor Andy Cass In a world of brand confusion, even Jesus gets reimagined to fit personal preferences. But what if the real Jesus doesn't cater to our image—but calls us to be reshaped in His? TEXT: Luke 11:23, Luke 11:37–40, Luke 11:42–44, Luke 11:46–48, Luke 11:52, 2 Timothy 3:1–5, Micah 6:8, Philippians 2:3, Psalm 24:4, Galatians 6:2, Romans 12:9, Matthew 5:16 NOTES: -Do you see Jesus for who he truly is?” “Are you branding Jesus, or is Jesus branding you?” “Are you sitting at his table or have you placed him on your table as a decoration?” -“Do you have a Biblical perspective or a collage from culture and your hopeful thoughts?” BAD BUT COMMON BRAND (False brand) -A Friend who loves but never convicts. -A Messiah who serves but never leads. -A King who blesses but never corrects. BIG IDEA-“Jesus will not be branded as a pushover. Instead, He is the One who pushes through our expectations, desires, and self-serving nature.” Questions: BRANDING JESUS into a better way: Neglect → Justice – Practice justice and love for God. (Micah 6:8) Pride → Humility – Seek to serve rather than be honored. (Philippians 2:3) Corruption → Integrity – Be pure in heart and actions. (Psalm 24:4) Burden → Compassion – Help others instead of weighing them down. (Galatians 6:2) Hypocrisy → Sincerity – Live authentically in faith and action. (Romans 12:9) Obstruction → Guidance – Lead people to truth, not away from it. (Matthew 5:16)

This Week's Text: Luke 22:54-71After Jesus is arrested and taken to the high priest's house, Peter denies knowing Him three times, just as Jesus had foretold, and breaks down in bitter weeping when he realizes what he has done.

Text: Luke 13:1-9Jesus is confronted with the question of why seemingly senseless suffering happens. His actions show us God's answer.

Sheltering in Grace A sermon shared by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, March 16, 2025, the second Sunday of Lent. “Grounded in Grace” series. Text: Luke 13:31-35

Throughout the Gospel accounts of Jesus, we see Him perform so many incredible miracles. These moments separate Jesus from comparison to any other religious figure throughout human history. We have to wrestle with why so many are collected and shared when they are beyond our comprehension. The miracles in the Gospel of Luke are more than moments of wonder but invitations to learn from and worship our Lord. This week, we navigate Luke 8:40-56 ESV to find hope in times of desperation.

This Week's Text: Luke 22:35-53Jesus prepares His disciples for the difficult week ahead, telling them to be ready and affirming that Scripture is being fulfilled through Him. In agony, He prays on the Mount of Olives, submitting to the Father's will while urging His disciples to stay vigilant in prayer. Soon after, Judas betrays Him with a kiss, leading to His arrest, yet Jesus responds with peace, healing an injured servant and acknowledging that this is the appointed time for darkness to take its course.

Text: Luke 13:31-35 In an age when it seems as if all we hold dear is at stake, Jesus offers us God's counterintuitive way forward.

Sermon preached at Trinity Lutheran Church, Murdock, NE (16 March 2025. Text: Luke 13:31-35

We need all three, and yet all three can harm us. Through Jesus' example, we learned when to say No to these natural desires. There's a fine line between trusting God and the temptation to secure our needs on our own. Text Luke 4. 

Text: Luke 4:1-13Jesus journey towards the cross begins in a familiar place. Jesus shows us what it means to be human in the wastelands and wandering of life.

Pastor Chris preaches this week as we explore the "Sermon on the Plain."   Text: Luke 6:17-26

Dr. Walton Padelford, Elder Emeritus, fills in this week as we continue our look at Jesus' "Sermon on the Plain."    Text: Luke 6:27-38

In the chaos of our urban, digital age, it's easier than ever to “gain the whole world and yet lose your soul.” But how can we have a relationship with a God we cannot see? The answer lies in intentionally setting aside time to be alone with God. Silence and solitude allow us to break free from the noise and distractions of everyday life, enabling us to be fully present in the presence of God. Text: Luke 5:15-16 Speaker: Jeff Schrecengost
