Weeping for the City

Luke 19:28-48

May 29, 2016 • Pastor Bill Riedel

Jesus’ long journey to Jerusalem finally comes to an end. As He arrives in the city, we see a swirling emotions of joy, dismay, frustration, anger, and sorrow. In all of it, there is a dichotomy between those who follow Jesus and the religious leaders of the time. In their responses, we can see the characteristics of true and false worship.

Who is the Greatest?

August 14, 2016 • Pastor Bill Riedel

This text brings us to Jesus' last night with His disciples. After they had shared a meal together and reflected on the Passover they heard from Jesus that a New Covenant was coming in His body and blood. Luke 22:23-38 shows some final conversation and instructions from Jesus. Like any good holiday meal, there was some tension and argument around the table. There is a lot for us to learn as we look to hear the words of Jesus, though, and see ourselves in the disciples.

The Lord's Supper

This text brings us to the Upper Room and the Last Supper Jesus would have with His disciples. We will take time to understand more fully what it means that Jesus is the ultimate Passover lamb. We will also see how the meal that Jesus instituted then has carried through to the church today.

The end of the Olivet Discourse comes with two commands from Jesus – watch yourselves, and stay awake. It’s a good and timely warning for us all. Ultimately, it is a text laced with hope as well.
