Luke 8:19-39 "Desperate Times Powerful Savior"
March 26, 2023 • Jared Clements
This week we'll see Jesus exhausted from ministry sleeping while a deadly storm rages around the disciples. The disciples will forget what the Lord said to them, they'll become fearful and they will run to their Master. Jesus in turn will calm the storm. Then they will meet an unexpected individual just as soon as they arrive to the shore. The local city didn't know what to do with this man and eventually he found himself out near the tombs, by himself, naked. The Lord will then set him free.
Luke 8:1-18 "Be Careful How You Hear"
March 19, 2023 • Jared Clements
This week we'll be looking at a parable most of us are familiar with. It's the sower and the seed. We'll be talking about the 4 different kinds of soil that the Word of God lands upon and we'll talk about how these apply to the lives of those who hear.
Luke 7:36-50 "The Beauty of Being Forgiven"
March 12, 2023 • Jared Clements
Today we'll be looking at a life that was greatly broken and yet found incredible forgiveness. The Lord ask an important question as he describes two individuals in debt and that debt being forgiven. We'll talk about faith and how it led this woman to find new life. And we'll talk about Simon the Pharisee and his pride.
Luke 7:1-35 "Authority, Compassion, Confusion, Choices"
March 5, 2023 • Jared Clements
This week we'll take a look at three different narratives and learn several lessons as we do. Jesus will display complete and total authority over sickness, we'll see the faith of a centurion soldier, we'll see the Lord have compassion on a widow whose only son had died and then we'll see John the Baptist send some of his disciples with some questions for the Lord.
Luke 6:37-49 "Characteristics of a Disciple"
February 26, 2023 • Jared Clements
This week we'll finish the Sermon on the plain. Jesus will continue to give the disciples who were listening simple truths about who they would be as they became like their Teacher. The Lord will declare that we are not to judge, that we are to forgive, we are to give abundantly and in order to help others we need to remove the plank from our own eyes.
Luke 6:12-36 "Learning to Love as Jesus Does"
February 19, 2023 • Jared Clements
We see Jesus once again withdrawal to a quiet place to pray. He'll call 12 apostles and then will begin to teach. We'll look at the beatitudes, and then talk about learning to love our enemies and praying for those that misuse us and even persecute us.
Luke 5:27-6:11
February 5, 2023 • Jared Clements
This week we'll see Jesus call a tax collector to follow Him. Jesus will eat with sinners which will cause the Pharisees and scribes to grumble. He'll then go on to challenge the Sabbath day traditions that had taken what was meant to be a joyous day of the week and made it into a day of difficulty.
Luke 4:42-5:26
January 29, 2023 • Jared Clements
This week we'll see the Lord Jesus teaching from a boat, calling Peter to be a fisher of men and we'll see Peter respond to that call. We'll see Jesus heal a leper by physically touching him and we'll see a paralytic forgiven and then healed physically. Jesus wants to work in our hearts as well.
Luke 4:14-41
January 22, 2023 • Jared Clements
Today we'll see Jesus beginning to teach, He'll share from Isaiah 61:1-2 and then declare "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing" Everyone knew this was a Messianic passage of scripture so when Jesus said this they all knew what He was declaring. We'll then see Jesus provide ample evidence that the words He said were true. He'll deliver a demon possessed man, heal Peter's mother in law and then heal the multitudes.
Luke 3:1-20
January 8, 2023 • Jared Clements
This week we'll take a look at John the Baptist and his ministry. John was willing to give the hard message and the people responded, have we become to worried today about what others think? Have we begun to give a soft message? So often the theology of repentance and judgment have gone to the wayside in the church and yet our world needs to hear it. Ultimately the world needs to hear of the love of the Savior.
