The Temptation of Christ

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 4:1-13

The Village Chapel - 09/01/2024

We’ve all felt it’s powerful tug from time to time… but just what is temptation and where does it come from? Is being tempted to sin the same thing as committing a sin?

Why do you think God even allows temptation? And is resistance futile? Or, do we have some tools and some truths we can count on that will help us resist temptation?

In Luke 4:1-13 we read about the temptation of Jesus out in the desert-like wilderness of Judea and it gets recorded in all 3 synoptic Gospel records in the NT. What was so important about the temptation of Christ? And what does the temptation of Christ mean for those of us who are believers and followers of Jesus?

For answers to these and other questions, let's study Luke 4:1-13 together!

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. 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.
