Guest speaker Matt Tracy finishes up our resurrection stories series as we look at Jesus meeting Peter in his failure. How would you expect Jesus to respond to a disciple who denies him? Breakfast on the beach?

Anthony shares about how Resurrection Hope in the person of Jesus meets the disciple Thomas in his doubts about the resurrection (John 20:24-29). Maybe you have your own doubts but Jesus has a way of meeting people in their doubts.

Pastor Anthony teaches on Luke 24:13-35. Jesus meets two disciples who are overcome with despair and disappointment on the road to Emmaus. Jesus still likes to meet people today who are walking away from their last heartbreaking letdown. He meets us in our despair.

Pastor Zach unpacks Psalm 143 as we discover what it means to have a soul that thirsts for God.

"Why do you seek the living among the dead?" This is the question the women at the tomb were confronted with when they went to the tomb. But this question is still relevant today. We all look for life in things that are dead. Only one person can truly bring us life. His name is Jesus.

Jesus enters Jerusalem during the Passover Festival. The powder keg of nationalistic fervor is just waiting to explode. But Jesus doesn’t come in on a war horse. Rather, he comes in on a humble donkey. Then, instead of rousing the people up against Rome, Jesus confronts the corruption of the Temple. What is Jesus doing? What are his actings teaching us?

Our culture is immersed in consumerism, materialism, and the pursuit of more. Jesus calls us to trust in the goodness of God for life is about more than the abundance of possessions and what we treasure owns our hearts.

It's our third week walking through the Gospel of Luke following this Revolutionary named Jesus. 

This week we take a look at Luke 10 where Jesus sends out seventy disciples and gives them specific instructions as sent revolutionaries.

It's our second week walking through the Gospel of Luke following this Revolutionary named Jesus. 

This week we see that Jesus touched a man with leprosy, declared forgiveness to a paralyzed man, and hung out with tax collectors and sinners. His message is clear: I came for those who are humble enough to realize they need rescue, and I am came to confront the judgmental religiosity that excluded these people in the first place.

The Messiah was expected to be a Revolutionary. The Jewish people expected the Messiah to lead a revolution against their enemies and liberate Israel thereby re-establishing the Kingdom of Israel. 

Jesus was a revolutionary, but in an entirely different sense. Jesus taught about an upside down Kingdom where the last will be first and the first last; where love and forgiveness of our enemies is the way to victory rather than revenge and domination; where love and relationship defined inclusion not ritual laws and social boundaries; and where death on the cross was the supreme revelation of God’s glory not a triumphal victory over the Romans. 

From the Sunday after Ash Wednesday through Easter, we will walk through the Gospel of Luke following this Revolutionary.
