The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 6:12-19

The Village Chapel - 10/13/2024

The Bible is brutally honest. There’s no spin machine trying to hide anyone’s moral or spiritual flaws. As we read the Bible, God doesn’t conceal King David’s indiscretions or Elijah and Jeremiah’s depression. God doesn’t downplay Peter, James and John’s bold and brash behavior, or the conflict between Paul and Barnabas. There are no cover-ups in the Bible — we see the unvarnished truth about how self-centered, sinful, foolish, frail and faulty human beings can be.

What about the disciples of Jesus? If the goal was to assemble a team of influencers who would turn the world upside down, I doubt these guys would have been on anyone’s short list. As individuals, they weren’t exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.

But Jesus often chooses those nobody else would choose, and Jesus often uses those nobody else would use.

Join Pastor Jim as we study Luke 6:12-19, where we’ll read about Jesus calling, choosing and commissioning twelve of His disciples and sending them out on mission as His apostles.

Pride and Shame Encounter Jesus: The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 7:36-50

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Matt Pierson • Luke 7:36–50, Psalm 71:1

Pride and Shame Encounter Jesus The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 7:36-50 The Village Chapel - 11/17/2024 In Luke 7, Jesus is invited to dinner at a Pharisee’s house. What happens next is both awkward and uncomfortable, yet profoundly beautiful, as Jesus encounters a woman publicly known as a sinner. Pride meets shame, and Jesus reveals the truth of the debt we all owe and the lavish grace on offer to everyone. As we wrestle with our inner narratives, it's essential to understand where our identity is found and sourced. Join Pastor Matt as he teaches us through Luke 7:36-50 and helps us explore the love of God in Christ for all of us.

Where Do I Take My Doubts? The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 7:18-35

November 10, 2024 • Pastor Tommy Bailey • Luke 7:18–35

Where Do I Take My Doubts? The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 7:18-35 The Village Chapel - 11/10/2024 John the Baptist was the last and greatest prophet of the Old Covenant (Luke 7:28). He was given the unique honor of preparing the way for the coming Kingdom of the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Micah 3:1). John had publicly proclaimed that Jesus was the Son of God (John 1:34). He had witnessed the Holy Spirit falling upon Jesus and heard God the Father thunder, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17) John’s entire life and mission pointed people to Jesus, “...the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” (John 1:29). Yet even the greatest of the prophets, in his darkest hour, began to doubt. Languishing in Herod’s prison, John asks an honest question of Jesus, “Are you the Expected One, or shall we look for another?” (Luke 7:19) John the Baptist’s honest question reminds us that doubts are often a part of the Christian life. Join Pastor Tommy as we study the way Jesus responds to John’s question with mercy and the light of truth.
