In this new sermon series, Pastor Luke urges us to accept God's invitation to His Table, to a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. In Part 1, we learn how to participate in ministry like Christ. Specifically, we are to use invitations as opportunities to point others to Jesus.

Pastor Luke examines the apparent contradiction between Luke 12:51 and Isaiah 9:6. The difference is that Isaiah speaks of the Messiah bringing peace between God and men; whereas in Luke, Jesus speaks of causing division between His followers and other men. There is no middle ground in our walk with Christ. We must "own" Jesus in all of our earthly relationships.

What is the meaning of "judge" as Christ uses it in Matt.7:1? Pastor Luke unpacks the meaning of this word in its worldly vs. biblical context and teaches how Christians should practice moral discernment.

Pastor Luke discusses the mystery of Christ's Second Coming and how we need to focus our lives until he returns.

Prefacing the SLT's vision casting for this year, Pastor Luke uses the story of Elisha and Jehoshaphat to encourage us to practice "faith that works." Our greatest need can become a blessing when it drives us to depend on God. Furthermore, Gods wants us to work and participate in His filling our needs.

Pastor Luke examines how the concept of "fairness" differs between a worldly perspective and a Kingdom perspective. Through the parable of the workers in the vineyard, he defines God's Grace as God's alone to bestow.
