Join us as we conclude another Liturgical Year with the celebration of Christ our King! Text: Luke 23:33-43

It has often been said that prayer is the greatest force in the universe. And yet, it remains a largely untapped resource for so many Christians. Why is that?There are a lot of reasons why we don't pray, but I think they can be summarized under two headings:  We don't know how it works. It feels very unnatural to talk to someone I can't actually see and whose voice I've never literally heard.  We don't think it really matters. We take a fatalistic view. “If it's supposed to happen, it'll happen, whether I pray or not.” In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable that addresses the issue of prayer straight-up. The story has two main characters: a widow and a judge. Widows in Jesus' day were vulnerable. Unless she had a son to take care of her, she was without resources, power, or connections. In Jesus' story, this widow was being harassed by an adversary, so she took her case to the local judge, seeking relief.Unfortunately, the judge in this story was a hard-hearted man. He didn't fear (respect) anyone – neither man nor God! When the widow came to him, he dismissed her. But she wouldn't give up. She kept pestering the judge over and over again until finally, the judge threw up his hands and said, “I can't take it anymore. Give her what she wants!”Now, most people read this story and think... we're like the widow—defenseless and weak. And God is like the judge! He's super busy and doesn't have time to bother with little people like me and my little problems. So, the moral of the story is… it pays to pester! The more I pester God in prayer, the more likely He'll finally cave in and give me what I ask for!Friends, that could not be further from the truth. This parable is not an allegory. It is a beautifully crafted study in contrasts! Jesus' point is, if this sort of judge gives this sort of help to this sort of person, how much more will your Father give all kinds of help to you?  And in so doing, He gives us three prerequisites we need to understand if we hope to keep praying and not give up. 1.     We need to understand our identity.Some of us see God as Oz the Terrible. Like Dorothy and her friends, we tremble before Him. But for those who have come to faith in Christ, the King of the Universe is our Father! And He is thrilled with your presence and delighted to hear of your needs. No one's voice sounds sweeter to God than yours.2.     We need to understand God's inclination.Don't think for a minute that you have to concoct some way to wrench a blessing from some tight-fisted miser.  That just isn't so.  From cover to cover in the Bible, we read of a God who loves to give good things to His children. He delights in it.3.     We need to understand God's invitation.God calls us to talk to Him—to ask, seek, and knock—not just to have our needs met, but that we might enter into a faith partnership with Him.  Text: Luke 18:1-8Originally recorded on August 22, 2004, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Do you identify as a GM guy or Ford lady? An Apple girl, or a Samsung Bro?  Sometimes our identity can become overshadowed by our posessions and we develop a sense of worth based on what we have.  In this sermon, Pastor Fikre Prince shares that there is a very real danger in the way many of us live, and our response and engagement with THINGS.Text: Luke 12:13-21Sermon Summary:Big Idea: Generosity protects us from being owned by the things we own.Key Question: How do we guard against being owned by our stuff?1.     See the danger. (vv. 13-15)2.     Check your motives. (vv. 16-19)3.     Turn from greed. (vv. 20-21)

Text: Luke 21:5-19The end of all things – even beautiful ones – is inevitable, as Jesus says about the Temple, but looking for signs of when this happens is not where our attention is supposed to be directed. Instead, we are called to endure through moments by living in the hope of God’s continued provision.…

Everyone knows that money can bring significant struggles. If we lack - we struggle. It's also possible to struggle even when you have enough. Jesus warns us to build in guardrails when it comes to money - because greed and a lack of contentment will destroy you. Text: Luke 12:13-34 Speaker: Aaron Patton

“The Future… For Now”Text: Luke 20:27-38Today's reading has the Sadducees trying to trap Jesus with questions about the resurrection. On its face, the passage seems to be about marriage, but it is really about the future and how our hope in the resurrection affects how we understand and live our lives today.

Grace & TruthPastor Kent LandhuisTHEME - Jesus saves.TEXT - Luke 19:1-101. What must I do to be saved? * Acts 16:30-33 * Luke 18:18-23 * They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved - you and your household.” Acts 16:312. Who can be saved? * Luke 19:1-10. * For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:103. What does salvation change? * Luke 15:11-32 * Luke 19:35-43 * But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. Luke 15:32NEXT STEPS1. Admit your lostness.2. Believe in Jesus.GO DEEPERFive Solas of the Protestant ReformationFive pillars of our faith that come out of the reformation.1. Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone.The Bible is the sole written divine revelation, our only infallible rule for faith and life, and alone can bind the conscience of believers absolutely. (Matthew 4:4; 2 Timothy. 3:16-17).2. Sola Fide – Faith Alone.Justification is by faith alone. By God's free grace, the righteousness of Jesus Christ is imputed to us by faith and is the sole ground of our acceptance by God, by which our sins are pardoned (Romans 5:1; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians. 2:8-10).3. Solus Christus – Christ Alone.Jesus Christ is the only mediator through Whose work we are redeemed (John 14:6; John 3:16; Acts 4:12; Acts 16:30-33)4. Sola Gratia – Grace Alone.Our salvation rests solely on the work of God's grace for us (Romans 2:4; Ephesians. 2:8-10).5. Soli Deo Gloria – To God Alone be Glory.Salvation is of God and has been accomplished by God, therefore to God alone belongs the glory (Isaiah 42:8; Colossians 3:17).

Grace & Truth: People Get Ready! Pastor Kent LandhuisTHEME - Pay attention to the signs of readiness. TEXT -  Luke 12:13-56Four questions to diagnose readiness:1. Is your focus now or not now?Luke 12:13-21. Parable of the rich fool.Signs: greed or gratitude.2. Is your strategy wise or not wise?Luke 12:35-41. Parable of the unwise steward.Signs: unfaithful or faithful. 3. Is your posture ready or not ready? Luke 12:42-48. Parable of the thief in the night.Signs: not alert or alert?4. Is your heart trusting or not trusting?Luke 12:54-56.Signs: Afraid or unafraid.NEXT STEPS1. Get ready.2. Stay ready.GO DEEPER: People Get Ready by Curtis MayfieldPeople get ready, there's a train a-comin'You don't need no baggage, you just get on boardAll you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'Don't need no ticket, you just thank the LordThere is a lot that we don't know about the return of Jesus (like the time) but there are some things we do know without a doubt. Three things we know for sure:1. Jesus will return again. (It could be soon.)2. The return of Jesus will be sudden and unexpected. (There will be no time to prepare after he returns.)3. We are called to get ready and stay ready for the return of Jesus.Preparing for Jesus' return requires living a life of active faith, vigilance, and holiness in one's daily duties. This means cultivating spiritual alertness, pursuing holiness, and faithfully living out our calling while wearing the full armor of God. Preparation also involves embracing suffering with hope; focusing on love for God and others; growing in faith through prayer, scripture, community, service, etc.; and reaching out with the love of Jesus to others. Getting ready for the return of Jesus is part of our walk as disciples of Jesus. Until Jesus returns we are called to trust God in all things. Are you ready?“He who calls you is faithful.  He will surely DO IT” ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:24

You can't walk past a church without seeing a cross, and have you noticed millions of people wear a cross around their necks—but what does Jesus mean when he speaks about the cross?  For Jesus, the cross isn't just a symbol, but a way of life. Like clay on the potters' wheel, “carrying the cross” is all about God's healing in our lives and how God works in this world.  Text:  Luke 14 and Jeremiah 18 Pod 275

Does Jesus really want us to "hate" our families? What does he mean by "bearing our crosses"? Or what about "renounce all that you have"? Listen as we consider these hard sayings of Jesus together.    Text: Luke 14:25-33

The sin of Pride can be infectious and deadly, infesting our relationships, our minds, our souls, and our communities. Thankfully, Jesus offers the antidotes of Humility and Hospitality as the cure. Listen as we explore these themes in this week's sermon.    Text: Luke 14:1-14

You've probably heard the saying “Money talks.” What would money say to you if it wanted to be your idol? And what might God say in contrast?1.     Money says: “Look at how much more others have than you.”  This counterfeit god uses envy to enslave us, driving us to want more. Proverbs 14:30 says, “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”God says: “Be content with and grateful for what you have.” The antidote to envy is gratitude. 2.     Money says: “You don't have a greed problem.” Money insists, “You don't have enough money to be called greedy. Only rich people are greedy.” Yet Jesus warned an audience of mostly poor people, “Watch out! Be on guard against all kinds of greed.”  God says: “Recognize that the tendency toward greed is a constant challenge.” The antidote to greed is generosity. 3.     Money says: “Worry about me!”  We have the illusion that we won't worry about money if we have more money. But the fact is, the more money we have, the more we think about it and worry about it. God says: “Trust me as your provision and source.” There is a linkage between seeking God's Kingdom and knowing God's provision. 4.     Money says: “Giving may be a good idea, but you can't afford it.” One of the biggest lies money tells is that if you had more money, you'd be more generous. But statistics show that people with lower incomes give a higher percentage of their money than people with higher incomes. God says: “Give, not because you can afford to, but because you can't afford not to.”  If you don't start understanding the role of generosity when you don't have much, you will not grow into it when you do have much. 5.     Money says: “If you just keep getting more, eventually you'll have enough.” But it's like a treadmill of acquisition; we never get there. We never reach “enough.”God says: “The antidote for consumerism is compassion.” Only when you choose to spend on behalf of others instead of on yourself will your heart begin to change. Text: Luke 16:13; 12:15-34; 19:1-8  Originally recorded on December 12, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN
