Pastor Walt Quick kicks off Easter weekend with a homily from Colossians 2:13-15

Have you ever known that someone was headed down a bad path but were unable to convince them to change direction? Jesus wept over the city for that very reason. He then cleanses the Temple of those who had turned it into a den of thieves. Jesus is passionate in sorrow and even in anger when it come to rescuing those he loves.

See you when we resume on Tuesday!

When Jesus enters into Jerusalem for the final time, he is greeted as the promised king! Even then, the crowds do not understand the kind of king that Jesus would be. Just days later, they would turn on him, crying, "Crucify him!" How and why is Jesus so different from all other kings?

Jesus teaches his followers a parable to make it clear that the fullness of his kingdom would require patient waiting. Just like the king in the story, Jesus would be leaving but would one day return. While we wait, what will we do with our gifts? Will we faithlessly use them just for ourselves? Or will we be found faithfully using them to bless others in the name of the king?

Seeing Zacchaeus - a "notorious sinner" - in the tree, Jesus calls to him by name and invites himself to Zacchaeus' house. Zacchaeus is so overwhelmed by Jesus' grace that he repents and responds with incredible generosity! Unpacking this story, we will see the invitation to be like Jesus -- to have courage to be who we are, curiosity about who others are, and compassion for those who differ.

As Jesus approaches Jericho, a blind beggar calls out to him in faith. The crowd tries to silence the man, but Jesus insists that the man be brought to him. "What do you want me to do for you?" The answer might seem obvious but Jesus asks anyway. Imagine that Jesus were to ask you, "What do you want me to do for you?" -- because he is! How will you answer?

Pastor John Mury preaches on Luke 19:28-44 as part of our Luke: Kingdom Costs sermon series.

In another pair of teachings, Jesus raises up the value of being like little children -- to be fully dependent upon and trusting in the love and grace of God. The rich young ruler is perhaps cut off from this kind of love because he clings to the independence and control that comes with money. Jesus invites you to be like a little child!

Jesus shares back-to-back parables about prayer. One exhorts us to be persistent in prayer and the other commends an attitude of humility, a constant dependence on God's grace rather than our own supposed goodness. We may not fully understand why God wants us to pray or how prayer works, but we can be confident that God does meet us in prayer, and we are changed forever in the encounter!

The people around Jesus ask him two questions that people are still asking today, "When?" and "Where?" will we experience the fullness of God's kingdom revealed in Jesus? What will be the apocalyptic signs? Jesus responds that the kingdom is already in our midst, and the answer is "Here" and "Now" -- we are implored to respond fully to Jesus right here, right now!
