Doing Hard Things
September 15, 2024 • Chad Williams • Luke 17:1–6
In this powerful message from Luke 17:1-6, we're challenged to confront the inevitability of temptation in our lives and the responsibility we bear for our spiritual influence on others. We're reminded that while temptations are certain to come, we're called to a higher standard of vigilance and care for our fellow believers. The imagery of a millstone around one's neck serves as a stark warning about the gravity of leading others astray. As we grapple with these challenging directives, we're reminded that it's not the size of our faith that matters, but the greatness of the God in whom we place our trust.
Law, Lazarus, and Life After Death

In this powerful message, we explore the parable of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16. This story challenges our perceptions of blessing and reminds us that God's view often differs from our own. The rich man, despite his wealth and comfort, ends up in torment, while Lazarus, who suffered in life, finds eternal comfort. This stark contrast urges us to reconsider what true blessing means in God's eyes. It's a call for us to examine our hearts, to love our neighbors, and to heed the teachings of Scripture before it's too late.
Leveraging Life in Light of Eternity
September 1, 2024 • Kyle McHargue • Luke 16:1–17
In this powerful exploration of Luke 16:1-15, we're challenged to examine how we leverage our lives in light of eternity. The parable of the dishonest manager serves as a mirror, revealing our own spiritual crisis and need. We're urged to consider: Are we as shrewd in eternal matters as worldly people are in temporal affairs? This teaching calls us to wake up and recognize the collision of two kingdoms - the fading world and God's eternal realm. We're reminded that there's only one true forever family and home and that our circumstances don't determine our faithfulness. The message emphasizes our desperate need for Christ's transforming grace, urging us to seek the 'expulsive power of a new affection' that will reorient our hearts towards God's glory.

When we stray, He comes after us, bearing our full weight on His shoulders, rejoicing as He brings us home. Heaven celebrates when even one sinner repents, showing the immeasurable value God places on each soul.
