SERMON: "I'll Catch Up Later" | TEXT: Luke 6:57-62 | DATE: 6/8/2025 | SPEAKER: Jake Brown | www.Liberty-Christian.com

Join us this Sunday for Mother's Day! Pastor Mike Burchfield will be sharing a special message: The High Calling of Motherhood. Text: Luke 2:22-38 "And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”

This Ascension Sunday, we reflect on Jesus' departure not as an ending, but as a culmination. Drawing on Old Testament echoes of Moses and Elijah, we see how Christ's ascent is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, and how his blessing prepares the Church for her Spirit-empowered witness.    Text: Luke 24:44-53

44CD 1718 Happy Mother's Day 2025 AM Service May 11, 2025In a story about some of the worst Mother's Day gifts ever given, the Houston Chronicle reported a story about Jerry Maltz giving his wife an iron. He got the message when she gave him an ironing board for Father's Day.Source: Houston Chronicle, May 7, 2013 - By Alyson Ward,Staff WriterFor some this is a very hard time, so let's be comforted by the Word of the Lord: *Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.In the New Heaven and New Earth the Lord has prepared for us there will be full satisfaction, peace with rest! Now for our opening text please:*Text: Luke 2:21-24 & 41-52 -We're going to look it 3 simple things today:#1 Mother's Responsibility to Children #2 Children's Responsibility to Mothers, Parents#3 Being a Spiritual Mother *Read John 2:1-11 -*Read John 19:25-27 -*Read Titus 2:1 & 3-5 -Closing Illustration: She Gave Her Life for Her SonWhen the California gold fever broke out, a man went there, leaving his wife in New England with his boy. As soon as he got on and was successful he was to send for them. It was a long time before he succeeded, but at last he got money enough to send for them. The wife's heart leaped for joy. She took her boy to New York, got on board a Pacific steamer, and sailed away to San Francisco.They had not been long at sea before the cry of “Fire! fire!” rang through the ship, and rapidly it gained on them. There was a powder magazine on board, and the captain knew the moment the fire reached the powder, every man, woman, and child must perish.They got out the life-boats, but they were too small! In a minute they were overcrowded. The last one was just pushing away, when the mother pled with them to take her and her boy. “No,” they said, “we have got as many as we can hold.” She entreated them so earnestly, that at last they said they would take one more. Do you think she leaped into that boat and left her boy to die? No! She seized her boy, gave him one last hug, kissed him, and dropped him over into the boat. “My boy,” she said, “if you live to see your father, tell him that I died in your place.”That is a faint picture of what Christ has done for us. He laid down his life for us. He died that we might live. Now will you not love Him? What would you say of that young man if he should speak contemptuously of such a mother! She went down to a watery grave to save her son. Well, shall we speak contemptuously of such a Saviour? May God make us loyal to Christ!Source: Anecdotes and Illustrations of D. L. Moody, D. L.

CD 1720 Learning Life - Experiencing Full SalvationIn this morning's message we will see that salvation is one thing, the primary thing the first thing! But those who want to experience the fullness of life must learn how to follow Jesus! When we get to our text we'll see that it's talking about the Jewish people at first but at the end of the chapter we find out that God sent out to the hedges and the byways to reach us the gentiles! So we can apply this to our lives this morning!Bro Jason on the screen:*Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.*John 10:10 (KJV) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.The Greek word "zoe" used here is often translated as "life" but carries a deeper meaning of "absolute fullness of life". Text Luke 14:1-11 (KJV) And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?6 And they could not answer him again to these things.7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.Note verses 10 & 11! In verse 10 because if humility Jesus says go up! Then he says by humility comes exaltation. With that being said let's look for a second and third witness!Submission by humility allows God's Exaltations:See James 4:10 (KJV) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.See 1 Peter 5:6 (KJV) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:Support the show

Text - Luke 21:24 by John Williams, pastor | Lord's Day Afternoon | 5.25.25

Text: Luke 1:15-17

Today's Gospel installment: 05/25/2025 Title: How much more Text: Luke 12 vs 22-34 1. The Lord was a gospel preacher and one has to use a gospel mind to properly read His words. 2. In this section of Luke he spoke to the matter of what is important. 3. And in the life of the world, riches is what is on people's hearts and minds and unfortunately it does not end there. 4. Many falsely or mistakenly associate earthly riches with Divine favor and salvation. 5. And the Lord Jesus came to straighten things out and said, you have your priorities ALL WRONG. 6. First, you have no power to cause anything. Secondly, God knows exactly all that you need and will see to it, so prioritize God because the very things that you are anxious about cannot save you and guess what, that IS WHAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS CHASING AFTER? 7. Will expand on this and other related matters and IT IS FREE!

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)

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.
