Praying in the Prolonged Delay

Bible Text: Luke 18:1-8 | Preacher: Paul Kim | Series: Guest Preacher

We just celebrated the triumph of life over death accomplished by Jesus’ resurrection at Easter. Yet we don’t have to look very far to see that death still operates in the world. How do we reconcile this contradiction and what do we do? This Sunday we look to a story Jesus told about justice.

Thank You, God, For The Fleas

Bible Text: Luke 17:11-19 | Preacher: Eddy García Solís | Series: Guest Preacher

After dealing with severe quarantine restrictions all we want is to get back to normality. But at times, we take this well-intended desire to such an extreme that it ends up affecting our gratitude and how we worship. This Sunday we look and learn from one leper who ran to Jesus’ feet to worship him in thankfulness after being healed by him instead of rushing to return to normality.

Recognizing Glory

Bible Text: Luke 2:21–35 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Christmas

In times of crisis and confusion, we often utter the cliché, “God moves in mysterious ways.” It reminds us that God is always at work even when we don’t see him. Yet we still tend to expect that God’s work in this world will be unmistakable and obvious. How can we train our eyes to recognize the glorious work of God’s mission among us in the mundane and everyday things? Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Christmas and join the angels’ refrain: Glory to God in the Highest!

The High King’s Favor

Bible Text: Luke 2:1–20 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Christmas

It may not have been the Christmas we’re used to, but it arrived nonetheless. The gifts have been opened, the egg nog has been drunk, the cookies have been eaten, and the families have been Zoomed. But in the midst of all the festivities, did you catch the beauty and mystery of Christmas? Did you consider who that baby in the manger would be and what he would do? God’s power in the world often comes in surprising and hidden ways. It takes faith to see it. How do we learn to detect his hand at work in the world?

The Year of the Lord’s Favor

Bible Text: Luke 4:14-30 | Preacher: Johnathan Keenan

The gifts have been opened, the egg nog has been drunk, the cookies have been eaten, and the relatives have returned home. But in the midst of all the festivities, did you catch the beauty and mystery of Christmas? Did you consider who that baby in the manger would be and what he would do? This Sunday we hear Jesus describe himself and his mission from Luke’s Gospel.
