We've seen that something has gone wrong with the good world that God made. What is God's response? To walk away? To start over? Or is God able to fix it? If he does, what happens to us? Pastor Luke looks at Deuteronomy 10:12-21 NLT in "Covenant Roadmap, Part 2," part 2 of his 5-part series, "Roadmap."

Every journey begins somewhere. Our journey begins at the beginning, with creation. We believe that God made everything that is available to our senses even the sense of time. What does this starting point tell us about our journey? Pastor Luke teaches from Job 38:1-40:2 NLT in "Creation Roadmap, Part 1," the first message in a new series, "Roadmap."

How should Christians approach work? Is it something we do to pay the bills, or something else? What if we don't like work? Pastor Luke preaches a special Labor Day message from Colossians 3 in "Hi-ho, Hi-ho." Pastor Luke preaches from Colossians 3:22-4:1 NLT in "Hi-ho, Hi-ho - Labor Day."

If you've ever felt that you were in the presence of God, you might have wondered why we don't feel that way all the time. Maybe you've even felt God's absence. What can help us process the sense that God isn't present? Pastor Luke looks at Acts 18:1-18 NLT in "Breather Greetings from Greece, Part 4," the concluding message in his series, "Greetings from Greece."

When the Apostle Paul found himself in Athens with time to kill, he did what anyone would do: he took in the sights. Some of what he saw disturbed him. What bothered him so much? How did he respond to it? Does it teach us anything about how we can live in a culture that can be troubling? Pastor Luke looks at Acts 17:16-34 NLT in "Your Own Poets Greetings from Greece, Part 3," part 3 of his 4-part series, "Greetings from Greece."

After a brief stay in Philippi, the Apostle Paul traveled to Thessalonica, where he faced new opposition -- and this time, they weren't satisfied when he left town. This conflict from about 50 AD has parallels in our super-polarized society today. What was the problem, and what can we learn from it? Pastor Luke preaches from Acts 17:1-15 NLT in "Three Weeks and a Day Greetings from Greece, Part 2," part 2 of his 4-part series, "Greetings from Greece."

Paul's second missionary journey is studied by historians because it shows how the Church first came to Europe. But for people of faith, it answers important theological questions. When we study Paul's visit to a Greek town called Philippi, we learn who the Gospel is for. Pastor Luke looks at Acts 16:11-40 NLT in "Greetings from Greece, Part 1: Philippi," the first message in a new series, "Greetings from Greece."

In the most recent "EXTREME Preaching" occasion, we covered two subjects\: (1) in Genesis 1, the first humans were given a diet of vegetables. After the Flood, however, in Genesis 9, their diet now includes animals. What can we infer from this? (2) What should be the role of women in the church? Pastor Luke preaches from 1 Timothy 2: 8-15 in "EXTREME Preaching."

Jesus concludes his Sermon on the Mount with a promise, but it's not what we might expect. He doesn't promise that everything will go well for his followers -- their circumstances are likely to be the same as those of anyone else. So what does he promise? And is it something we still want today? Pastor Luke looks at Matthew 7:24-29 NLT in "Home-Building In Conclusion, Part 5," the concluding message in his series, "In Conclusion...."

When Jesus talks about judgment day, it makes us uncomfortable. He says that people will point to their good deeds--even miracles! --and he will tell them to go away. What is the relationship between good works and salvation? Are Christians required to achieve a certain level of good behavior to be saved? If so, what is it? If not, what is Jesus talking about? Pastor Luke looks at Matthew 7:21-23 NLT in "It's Not About Fruit In Conclusion, Part 4," part 4 of his 5-part series, "In Conclusion...."
