The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 5:27-39

The Village Chapel - 09/29/2024

Any list of the utterly astonishing things about Jesus of Nazareth must include His uniquely authoritative teachings and mind-boggling miracles, especially His resurrection from the dead three days after His very public death on a Roman cross.

But another surprising aspect of Jesus has to be His somewhat puzzling choice of disciples. Given what we know about a few of them, one has to wonder why He chose them, how they could possibly work together, and how, through those unlikely followers, Jesus started a movement that changed the course of world history.

Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through the account of Jesus calling a tax-collector named Levi to become one of His disciples. That shocking choice would reveal how both the religious establishment and even those who were irreligious would all need to get used to “different” because of Jesus!

The Village Chapel exists to glorify God through the teaching of His word, through heartfelt worship, and by connecting people with opportunities to live lives of real significance, serving God and their neighbors as a local community of faith.

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.

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.

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.
