Sermons on Luke (Page 7)
The Astounded Crowd
This Sunday, our Discipleship series concludes with Jesus’ transfiguration on a mountain. It is good to explore this text in the aftermath of #GC2019 so that we may listen more carefully for Jesus’ teaching and live more fully as the body of Christ.
The Questioning Crowd
This Sunday, our Discipleship series continues Jesus’ sermon on a plain with one of the most difficult instructions imaginable: love your enemies.
The Expectant Crowd
This final Sunday in our series on reading the Bible, we turn to the final book of the New Testament: Revelation. Adam Marshall-Lopez, our Candidate for Ministry, brings our message this Sunday, asking important questions about how we read this controversial letter in modern times.
The Gospels
This fourth Sunday in our series on reading the Bible, we continue our exploration of the sacred texts that make up the Christian Bible with the core writings that help Christians claim their unique identity of faith: the Gospels.
Epiphany
On this Epiphany Sunday, we begin a series on how we read our Bibles, which can be an epiphany for us—a sudden and beautiful awareness of the divine.
Searching
As we conclude one year and prepare for the next, we consider a story of searching.
Mary, Full of Grace
This final Sunday before Christmas Eve, we look not just through Mary’s eyes, but at Mary herself and how she responded to life-changing news…
Amazed, Astounded and Astonished
This week’s message continues our Advent journey looking at the story through Mary’s eyes. This story focuses on Jesus’ youth, and is a reminder that his childhood was not likely one that could be described as normal…
Beginning with the End
This week’s message begins the Advent season and the Christian year. Specifically, we prepare for Christmas by exploring Jesus through the eyes of his mother, Mary. And through this lens, we begin at the end.
Transforming Grace
This Sunday we welcome Pastor Lea Booth from La Jolla UMC to continue our sermon series following the story of Les Misérables. This Sunday’s scriputure is the story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector who climbed a tree so he could get a glimpse of Jesus and found himself transformed by the interaction.
