Ten lepers approach Jesus and experience healing only after they take a step of faith, a step of obedience. One of the ten later returns to Jesus, giving thanks, and presenting us with a challenge and a lesson about finding even deeper blessings from God.

Jesus continues to teach his disciples that if we are to follow him, we must learn to be faithful in ways rooted in humility. We must take sin seriously (especially when we lead others into sin) and we must also take forgiveness seriously. In the end, we are servants of God and faithful obedience is its own reward, leading to abundant life!

Pastor Taylor Burgoyne preaches on Luke 16:1-15 as part of our Luke: Kingdom Costs sermon series.

Continuing his teachings on money, Jesus tells the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man lived his life in comfort while Lazarus suffered, but in death it is Lazarus who is comforted while the rich man suffers. The rich man begs for Lazarus to go back to the living in order to warn the rich man's family. Healing our addiction to money might take nothing less than a miracle, and even that might not be enough!

Continuing to speak about money, Jesus exhorts us to exert control over our money. If we can be faithful with our money, we will be entrusted with much greater things. If we are not faithful, if we let our money take control of us, it will even lead us to resent God. Money is spiritual and it can bear incredible spiritual dividends if handled faithfully.

Pastor Dave Swaim preaches on Luke 12:13-24 as part of our Luke: Kingdom Costs sermon series.

Jesus tells the story of a manager who is about to be fired. He quickly uses his remaining time to cooks the books for people who might help him after he loses his current position. Why would Jesus use such a dishonest person as an example to us? Jesus is not commending his dishonesty but his shrewdness. Even more than the manager, there is a way that we can use what we cannot keep in order to gain something we cannot lose!

The prodigal son had much to repent. The older brother needed to repent as well -- not of his badness, but of his "goodness." It is his self-righteousness and entitlement that leaves him outside of his father's house and far from his father's heart. The father treats the elder son much like the younger one. He humbles himself and goes out to him, and us, in the loving hope that we will take our seat at his table.

What is God like? How does God feel towards us, especially when we turn our backs on God? Jesus tells the story of a wayward child while highlighting the extravagant love of the father towards this prodigal son. The father in the story, who represents God, runs to his children who turn towards him, embracing them with lavish love and joy!

The religious leaders persistently attacked Jesus for associating with the "wrong" people. This time, Jesus answers their failure to understand God's hear with not one, not two, but three parables about God's heart. In these first two parables, Jesus makes it clear that you matter to God deeply, and that God delights in recovering that which was lost, including you.
