In Luke 13, someone asks Jesus a haunting question: “Will those who are saved be few?” This question challenges our culture’s assumptions of open access, endless options, and a belief that everyone will somehow find their way to heaven. In this message, we explore Jesus’ response and face a deeply personal question: Am I one of the few?

In Luke 12:35-48, Jesus teaches us how to live between two prayers: “Come, Lord Jesus” and “Lord, save the lost.” Through three stories, Jesus calls us to wait with eager anticipation and to serve with diligent obedience. This message wrestles with how we hold both hope for Christ’s return and urgency for the mission before He comes.

In today’s sermon, we look at Jesus’ teaching in Luke 12, where He warns us to be on guard against the endless chase for more. Through the story of the rich fool, Jesus reminds us that life isn’t found in what we own but in knowing God and seeking His kingdom. We’ll explore how to let go of anxiety, trust God’s provision, and live for what truly lasts.

In Luke 11:37-44, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for focusing on outward appearances while neglecting the condition of their hearts. The text provides a stern warning against hypocrisy, and calls us to authentic holiness where our actions match our hearts. This sermon challenges us to ask, “Who is the real me?”—the person God truly sees beneath the surface.

In this message from Luke 11, we explore what it really means to pray as Jesus taught His disciples. Prayer isn’t about reciting words or earning God’s favor—it’s about aligning our hearts with His will. From “Father, hallowed be your name” to “lead us not into temptation,” Jesus gives us a framework for prayer that transforms how we relate to God and how we live each day.

In Luke 10:1–12, Jesus sends out seventy-two followers to proclaim the coming of God’s kingdom. He reveals that the harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few, underscoring the urgency of the mission. Jesus makes it clear that this work will not be easy—it demands sacrifice, wholehearted obedience, and total dependence on Him.

Following Jesus requires far more than casual belief—it demands self-denial, sacrifice, and complete surrender. In Luke 9, Jesus warns and instructs his potential followers what true discipleship entails. Though the call is demanding and often difficult, it is the path to true and lasting life. 

In Luke 8:4–15, Jesus uses the parable of the sower to reveal the different ways people respond to His gospel. It serves as both a warning to hardened hearts and an encouragement to those who are open to believe. In this sermon, Pastor Paul invites listeners to reflect on a personal question: What will I do with the gospel?

How do you view your own sin? Do you reflect and look to others, or are you broken over the realities of your sin?

Founders Day has historically been a time to celebrate the church’s heritage and give toward special projects. Research into FBC’s history—particularly through John C. Huffman’s 1955 reflections—reveals that the church has consistently prioritized the Great Commission. Join pastor Paul as he explores how the past should inform how we are to give, go, and live so that God’s glory is known among all nations.
