Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenSome of what Jesus did was what the Jews and his disciples expected of God's Messiah—and some of it was not. He made strange predictions about his future and strange demands of his followers. Yet he was indeed God's Messiah, and more! Today, as then, we who follow him need to listen to him and not to other voices around us as we seek to understand who he is and what it means to follow him.Text: Luke 9:10-36

Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenJesus did impossible things by God's power—calming a storm, driving out a group of demons, healing a woman no one could help, and helping a family dealing with a deadly illness. We believe God continues to do impossible things in our lives through Jesus—bringing us through life's many storms, breaking us free from the devil's power, giving us hope beyond death, and working in his own good timing to help us.Text: Luke 8:22-56

Preaching Point: : Because everything we have is from God, we must use everything for His purposes knowing that rewards faithful stewards. Text: Luke 16:1-13 (ESV) He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. 2 And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' 3 And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.' 5 So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?' 6 He said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.' He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?' He said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. 9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. 10 “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 11 If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

Text: Luke 7:36–39;44 Luke 7:36 – 39 (NLT) 36One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him, so Jesus went to his home and sat down to eat. 37When a certain immoral woman from that city heard he was eating there, she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume. 38Then she […]

This is a series of parables (fictional stories with kingdom truth) of the Kingdom of God! In this message, we dive into the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19:11-27, where Jesus confronts us with a powerful reality: the King is away, but He is absolutely coming back.How are we supposed to live while we wait for His return? The King doesn't call us to a life of passive waiting; He entrusts us with resources and commands us to put them to work. This message challenges us to look honestly at our lives and answer a defining question for our faith: what are you doing with what God gave you? When we shift our perspective from ownership to stewardship, it changes how we handle our time, talents, and resources today. Join us as we explore what it looks like to be active, faithful servants who are actively investing in the Kingdom until the King returns.Text: Luke 19:11-27For more information about Journey Church, visit: www.journeyinbend.comFind Journey on all social media: @journeyinbendFind Pastor Keith on social media: @findkeithPlease subscribe and engage.

Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenJesus came not to spend all his time with those who were already spiritually healthy, but with those who were spiritually sick. He came to be a doctor for sinners who needed to turn to God. As such a doctor, Jesus welcomes us to come to him—and to bring to him all who need forgiveness and healing.Text: Luke 5:1-32

This is a series of parables (fictional stories with kingdom truth) of the Kingdom of God! In this message, Pastor Keith takes us into one of the most provocative and misunderstood stories Jesus ever told: the Parable of the Shrewd Manager.Who actually owns your life? The Bible reminds us that the earth and its fullness thereof belong entirely to the Lord. We aren't owners; we are stewards. When we shift our perspective from ownership to stewardship, it changes everything about how we handle our time, our talents, and our resources. Jesus challenges us to look honestly at what has been placed in our hands and asks a defining question for our faith: what are you doing with what God gave you? Join us as we discover how managing the temporary things of this world prepares us for the true, eternal riches of the Kingdom.Text: Luke 16:1-17For more information about Journey Church, visit: www.journeyinbend.comFind Journey on all social media: @journeyinbendFind Pastor Keith on social media: @findkeithPlease subscribe and engage.

Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenJesus did not receive the best welcome when he preached in his hometown of Nazareth. After all, he was simply a young man who had grown up there. Why should anyone think he had authority from God? Jesus warned the people that no prophet is accepted in his hometown, and they would miss out on God's blessings if they did not respond to his call. Just as familiarity led them to treat Jesus with contempt, so our familiarity with Jesus and knowledge of his love might tempt us to take him for granted. But his warning to the people of Nazareth calls us to treat our Lord with great reverence and honor.Text: Luke 4:14-30

What is the greatest hallmark of being a follower of Jesus? When we look at the life of Jesus, what we see of him and what he expects of us is that we would love one another.  In this message Pastor Fikre Prince shares that the model that Jesus gives is that we are not only to love the lovable, but that we are to love our enemies as well.Text: Luke 6:27-36Sermon Summary:Big Idea: Live like Jesus by loving everyone.Key Question: How do we love like Jesus?1.

Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenWhen Jesus was born, God (mostly) did not invite the wealthy, powerful, or influential to meet his glorious Son.

Sunday Sermon by Kevin JensenMary's song, the "Magnificat", celebrates God's goodness to both Mary as God chose her to be the mother of his Son and to the humble as he rejects the powerful and lifts up the lowly.

Title - When Bad Things  Happen to Me, Am I Being Punished? Text - Luke 13:1-5 by Nick Neves, pastor

Jesus is the only way. That statement in our culture today feels narrow and difficult. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." As we move toward Easter, we want to consider the truth of only Jesus being our hope and future. Through the last supper, the cross, and the resurrection, we see the work only Jesus could accomplish. Text: Luke 22:14-30 ESV Speaker: Michael Bayne
