“Lost and Found”Text: Luke 15:1-10Today, we hear the parable of the Lost Sheep and the parable of the Lost Coin from the Gospel of Luke.  Both stories show that God is the one who knows us and seeks after those who are lost or those who have been pushed out of the fold.  They remind…

Hebrews talks about leader who "are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account."  As we journey through this life as Christians, we see not only division between those who believe in God and those who do not, we also see divisions between Christian churches.  As we have previously looked at Baptism, we now look to the Lord's Supper to find out whether "is" means "is" or if it means something else.  We will also look at the role a pastor plays in the distribution of God's means of grace, as one who has to give an account.

As we continue to look at divisions between those who believe in God and those who do not, and the divisions between Christian churches, we find that when we bear the cross, as Jesus says in Luke, it means that we will end up in opposition to some of the people closest to us: parents, siblings, spouses, children, ourselves.  As we count the cost of standing firm on God's Word, it means we might lose all of those people we hold dear.  Is it worth it?  Sometimes it doesn't seem like it.  But we must remember that Jesus counted the cost and still went to the cross for us.

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

Text: Luke 14:25-33This week, we read challenging words from Jesus on what one must do to become a disciple. They are not a call to destructive behaviors, but we recognize they have purpose; a way of setting us forth with a mission to follow Jesus and not let the temptations of other allegiances get in…

Lesson Five: The message of the "Suffering of Jesus" Text: Luke 24:44-49 Intro: Last week we discussed the ultimate motivation for doing missions = Jesus. We saw that we are motivated by the life of Jesus, today we will see that God motivates us by the suffering of Jesus. In our text, Jesus motivated His disciples by reminding them of His suffering. 1. Jesus said the Pentateuch, the prophets and the psalms foretold of His sufferings. VS44. See VS 26-27 = No doubt He recalled these Old Testament texts: • The Passover lamb. Ref: Ex. 12:21-23; Mk 14:12 • The serpent on the tree. Ref: Numb. 21:9 • His agony on the cross. Ref: Psalm 22 = future perfect present tense • The suffering servant. Ref: Isa. 50:6; 52:14; 53:1-7 2. Jesus said the truth of His suffering is to be preached in all the world. VS47 • This is the purpose for the power of the Holy Spirit. VS49; Ref: Acts 1:8 • This was the message of the New Testament church. Acts 2:22-23; 1 Cor. 15:1-5;Phil. 2:8; Heb. 2:9; Acts 8:32, 34-35 3. Jesus said those who witness His suffering are accountable to tell of it. VS48 • This is the "great" commission. Ref: Mark 16:15, Matt. 23.19-20 • The disciples witnessed Jesus' suffering. 1 John 1:2-3; Ref Matt. 27 • The Scripture says all those who know of Jesus' suffering are to tell it. 2 Cor. 5:19-21; Heb. 12:1-2 – we know ref: James 4:17 Conclusion: To see and not say is a crime, to know and not tell is sin. Surely the life and suffering of Jesus motivates us to do missions!

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

In this week's sermon , we reflect on the story of Mary and Martha and what it means to choose “the good portion.” What if discipleship doesn't begin with doing, but with sitting, listening, resting at the feet of, and putting our attention on Jesus? In a world of constant busyness, Jesus invites us to a life where worship grounds our work and where service flows out of contemplation.    Text: Luke 10:38-42

What does it cost us to avoid the uncomfortable, the inconvenient, or the painful? In this teaching, we explore the hidden toll avoidance takes on our personal growth, relationships, and spiritual life, using the parable of, The  Samaritan as a starting point, we reflect on Jesus' wisdom that challenges us to confront what we'd rather walk past – the wounded places in others and ourselves.  Text Luke 10.

Pastor Christy Cass What if your life is soil—and what's growing (or not growing) is up to you? We're challenging you to dig deep, evaluate the condition of our hearts, and give God room to plant something real. TEXT: Luke 8:18, Mark 4:1–20, James 1:22, Romans 12:1, Colossians 3:1–2, Philippians 4:5–8, Isaiah 26:3–4 NOTES: Big Idea: “God won't grow what you won't give Him space to plant.” You were made to garden. The dirt might be messy, but the harvest is worth it. 4 Types of Soil (Mark 4): -Hard Soil -- Hardened Heart -Rocky Soil – Shallow Trust Thorny Soil -- Distracted Mind Good Soil -- Prepared Heart
