You can learn a lot about people by listening to their prayers. Some wake up each morning and pray - "Good morning Lord" while others say "Good Lord its morning!" And more than the words we say when we pray, is the heart behind the prayer. The gospel writer Luke records for us a parable that Jesus taught, highlighting the heart behind the prayer of two very different men. In our series, Anatomy of a Savior, Jesus' curriculum is intended to change us to be more like Him. Join us this Sunday as we learn from Jesus what our prayers reveal about condition and state of hearts.
A Tale of Two People
April 21, 2024 • Brian Hopper • Luke 18:9–14
Do or Die
May 5, 2024 • Aaron Hixson • Luke 13:1–9
Most of the time, when tragedy strikes, we are looking for someone to bring comfort to our heart and answers that will ease our confusion. Why did this happen? Who will be held responsible? Questions like this flood us and threaten to overwhelm. In today's teaching, Jesus surprisingly responds to a moment of tragedy with no answers about the past or comfort for the future - he takes his audience to the school of tragedy and teaches a hard-hitting truth about death and repentance. Join us this weekend as we learn a hard truth for a hard time.
Thoughts Before Sabbatical
April 28, 2024 • Greg St. Cyr • Luke 9:23, Luke 9:57–62
Join us on Sunday as Greg shares his last message with us before heading off on sabbatical until the end of August. We will dive into Luke 9 and Jesus' teaching on the cost of discipleship: denying oneself and surrendering my will, desires, possessions and more to Him so that we can experience the fruit of His blessing and transforming power in our lives. See you Sunday!
Money Matters
April 14, 2024 • Aaron Hixson • Luke 12:13–21
Throughout his teaching ministry, Jesus would frequently allowed his physical surroundings or the questions of those around him to impact his flow of thought. He's no ivory tower philosopher - he's firmly planted on the solid ground of everyday life, money, relationships and stress. This week's parable is no exception - Join us on Sunday as we explore a teaching that comes straight from a bad question, and hits us all where it hurts: our wallets.
