Jesus redefined the People of God. There are foundational elements for understanding the makeup, calling, ministry, and ethic of His work in His Kingdom that begin to emerge in Luke 6:12-26. He continued to turn categories upside down and shatter expectations.

Jesus continued to shake up the categories of the religious leaders of the time in Luke 6:1-11. With the bold claim to be the Lord of the Sabbath, He reshaped everything. Jesus brought real rest. Not just a day off, but rest for our souls. In the midst of the busyness and stress of our lives, particularly in the city, this is a message we need desperately. There is hope for true rest in Jesus.

This text also serves as a needed corrective for us as we assess our own comfort with known patterns that can come to limit our ability to engage in God’s work in our midst.

Pastor Jon continues in the series Church as Family. This week, he focuses on conflict within the church. This is a vitally important topic that can also be uncomfortable. While few of us enjoy conflict, there are clear biblical patterns for us to follow when it inevitably strikes.

We continue our series with Luke 5:12-26. This is a longer passage that details two stories of Jesus healing people. In these two stories we will see key indicators for us to recognize God’s work through Christ. We will also see how we can respond to Him.
