March 24, 2024 • Wes Swarthout • Luke 19:28–48, Zechariah 9:9, Proverbs 4:23, Revelation 7:9
Wes Swarthout teaches from Luke 19 - a story known as Jesus' Triumphal Entry. In this story we see Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey - a symbol of both peace and royalty. He comes with the express purpose of going to the cross to accomplish his Father's work. He is intentional and intense, yet, instead of riding a war horse to declare war on Israel's enemies, he enters on a donkey to bring peace and to bring ultimate victory over sin and death - our spiritual enemies. With great grief and great hope he submits himself to his Father's will. In doing all of this, he also extends this same work to our lives today, inviting us to submit ourselves to his ultimate act of love.
Luke 1: God's Sovereignty
March 10, 2024 • Waymond Hampton • Psalm 131, Luke 1, Matthew 11:28–30
Waymond Hampton teaches through Luke 1 in our Lenten miniseries on Luke. In Luke 1 the birth and lives of John the Baptist and Jesus are foretold to their parents. These foretellings speak of amazing promises, yet the way each story is lived out is full of both triumph and incredible difficulty. In a culture that tells us "you can do anything you set your mind to" and "anything is possible" we need the truth of God's word to help us see how crucial it is to submit our stories to the One who is writing The Story.
