There is a strong temptation for us to find our worth, identity, and security in treasures on Earth. In this passage from Luke, Jesus points out the foolishness of that line of thought, and leads us to the truth that the only place to find our security is in him, the only one who holds eternal life and joy. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church.

Sermon from Pastor Tim Proctor on Luke 11:45-54. From our series on Luke: Jesus the Merciful Savior at our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In this sermon from our series in Luke, Pastor Phil Kooistra walks us through five characteristics of a dead, religious heart. Just like the Pharisees, it can be easy to have the appearance of life, but to still be spiritually dead inside. Where the gospel brings life, religion and sin only bring death. Jesus' call is to walk in the new life of the gospel and not the grave of self-righteous religion.

In this sermon from our series in Luke, Pastor Neal Hackbarth walks us through the various ways we can have an incorrect perception of ourselves, of sin, and of repentance. Ultimately, it is the light of the gospel that corrects our worldview and helps us to see clearly.

There is no contest or struggle between our God and Satan, and as this passage demonstrates, when Jesus speaks, the powers of evil listen and obey. Jesus is our almighty Savior and calls us to make a choice regarding his lordship in our lives. There is no middle ground; those who are not for him are against him.

In this sermon from our series in Luke, Pastor Phil explains how Jesus wants us to be persistent and unashamed in our prayers. God is not "bothered" by our petitions - just the opposite! Like a father that loves to bless his children, our God is a God who wants to hear from his children and loves giving good gifts to them. And the greatest gift he can give is more of himself. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

In this sermon from our series in Luke, Pastor Phil draws out some important themes and implications from Jesus' teaching on prayer.

In this sermon from the book of Luke, Pastor Neal reminds us of Jesus’ call to be fully devoted to Him and to make knowing Him the one main thing in life. In order to follow him, we must know him well, up close, and personal. The one thing most needed is time spent at the Lord’s feet so that we will hear His voice, know his ways, his direction, and his leading.

In this well known parable from the book of Luke, Pastor Phil explains how the true message of the story of the Good Samaritan is not simply "be a nicer person," or "be a better neighbor," but rather that we are in desperate need of the gospel to transform our hearts, and that from that transformation, we will live lives of love and service towards God and others.
