This passage records the encounter of two very different people but both equally desperate. One whose 12-year-old daughter is dying and the other who had been hemorrhaging for 12 years.That was their common ground, the threat of death. And both risked alienation and ridicule from the crowds and in faith came to Jesus. Along the way Jesus reveals what His salvific healing brings and His relationship and power over death. He also gives us a glimpse of our resurrection to come.

In this week's message we look at two entirely different people who have an encounter with Jesus. Two classes, two backgrounds, two genders but both needing the grace and forgiveness of Jesus. One receives that grace and the other doesn't. This message answers why.

‘Are you the One who is to come, or should we look for another?’ This was John's question to Jesus in Luke 7:20. Jesus doesn't seem to be living up to John's expectations of what the Messiah should look and act like. We often have questions that cause us to doubt that Jesus is who he says he is.

In this passage Jesus has an encounter with a Roman centurion (although they never meet face to face), where we discover the unusual faith of the centurion and the equally bewildering unbelief of those who should have known better. In the process we also learn from the centurion's humility as well as the similarities and differences of worldly authority and the authority of Jesus.

In this passage from Luke Jesus encounters a paralytic where we are taught much about faith and who Jesus is. Jesus is not a mere miracle worker but God alone who has the power to not only heal us physically but spiritually too.

In this message Jesus encounters Peter and moves him from observer of Jesus to leaving everything behind and following Him. It's a move Jesus calls all of His followers to.

In a new fall series we're calling, "The Jesus Encounters," we're going to look at various encounters Jesus has in the gospel of Luke and see what we can learn from him and about him. In this kick off message we actually look at three encounters Jesus has in Luke 4 where he reveals himself as deliverer, healer and proclaimer.

Thankfulness was David's response to God's rescue in Psalm 34. What can we learn from him? How should we respond to God's rescue of us?

In this message we take a break from our prayer series and address the topic of "community." What are the biblical reasons for community, why do we need it and why should the local church pursue it are some of the questions this message addresses?
