THEME: Stay Faithful to Jesus
SCRIPTURE: Luke 12:1-12

In the midst of the gathering of a huge crowd, Jesus pulls His disciples aside to give them a very important message; "Stay faithful, don't get distracted, or pressured to give into fear of man. Remember who I am and who you are, my disciples. Don't fall away, stay focused, be devoted."

THEME: Love God, Love One Another
SCRIPTURE: Luke 11:37-54

In this difficult rebuke of the religious rules we hear the heart of Jesus teaching the disciples both the harsh judgment for heartless religion and an admonition of what really matters to God...authentic love and devotion to God and others.

THEME: Light Up Your Life
SCRIPTURE: Luke 11:29-36

Jesus' time is getting short and He's is escalating His message to dig deeper and hit harder. He goes right for the core of who the Pharisees and Scholars believed themselves to be..."holy"...and showing them to be dark and hollow who are worthy of being condemned by Gentiles like the Queen of Sheba and the Ninevites. Jesus encourages us to focus on our worldview and the "light" within us, to focus our "eye" on the "light" in order to truly "Light Up Your Life."

THEME: Hear and Keep the Word
SCRIPTURE: Luke 11:27-28

Who would have thought that only two seemingly insignificant verses would pack such a punch of goodness? A woman was seemingly trying to offer Jesus a compliment, however Jesus would not allow for a misplaced identity to be placed upon Him. He turned this moment into a powerful teaching moment to display what God truly values in the Kingdom of God.

THEME: Replacing Evil with Good
SCRIPTURE: Luke 11: 14-26

The Chosen TV Series illustrates a beautiful picture of exorcism and the Spiritual battle that Jesus is raging against. The passage we discuss in this sermon is from a time when Jesus is delivering a man from a mute demon and is accused of casting out said demon in the name of Beelzebul. We dive into this deity, how Jesus gives a rebuttal for their false narrative, and what His practice truly is when it comes to demonic deliverance as He replaces evil with good, then and still today.

THEME: Praying the Father's Heart
SCRIPTURE: Luke 11:1-13

We've often read the "LORD's Prayer", but what does it mean? Is it just a framework with or through which to pray, or is there something deeper? Jesus shows us how to pray and He uses prayer to show us the Father's heart.

THEME: Walk In & Reveal TOV
SCRIPTURE: Luke 10:36-42

The account of Mary and Martha displays for us the difference between someone who knows what is truly TOV (good) and what is busy simply for the sake of being "busy." It shows us how we need to walk in TOV to reveal and bring others into the Kingdom of Heaven.

THEME: Developing a Culture of TOV
SCRIPTURE: Luke 10:25-37

Jesus' point when He preached about the "Good Samaritan" was to develop a culture of TOV (goodness). This concept of "Goodness" is one of the fruit of the Spirit, the evidence of God's presence in someone's life. Jesus used this parable as an illustration of what God's goodness looks like in action. So, how does this parable help us to develop this same culture in our own personal lives, families, churches, and the world?

THEME: Walk in God's Authority
SCRIPTURE: Luke 10:17-24

Jesus pulls back the curtain on the spiritual realm to show the spiritual reality going on behind the scenes of His earthly ministry and the ministry of the Church today. Jesus's words are powerful to us to walk in the authority He has given us to reveal Christ and through Him to reveal the Father to the nations. Because where Christ's Church knows their identity and walks in their identity with courageous humility, there it is great joy!
