The Groom Has Come For His Bride

Luke 5:33-39

March 24, 2024 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Luke 5:33–39

This morning we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations- even us. Today the Pharisees question why Jesus’ disciples don’t fast. Jesus answers with a question, “Can you make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus is the groom who has come for his bride, so this is not a time for fasting but feasting.

Wisdom Is Justified By Her Children

June 30, 2024 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Luke 7:18–35

This morning we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations- even us. John the Baptist comes back into Luke’s narrative today. Here we are shown through unlikely circumstances and people, that God is fulfilling his promised purposes in Jesus, though not how we expect. This was true then, and it remains true today.

When Jesus Interrupts a Funeral

June 23, 2024 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Luke 7:11–17

Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. Last week, we saw a centurion’s servant near death (7:1-10), but today we meet a widow whose only son is dead. In this moving story, we discover that Jesus is not only compassionate, but has unrivaled authority, even over our greatest of enemies.

A Call To Deeper Faith

June 16, 2024 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Luke 7:1–10

Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. In our passage today, Jesus heals a Roman centurion’s servant. But, surprisingly, this story is less concerned with the miracle than with the faith of man who asks for it. Here we discover that great faith humbly trusts Jesus in the face of death and distance.
