The Return of the King: Palm Sunday
Luke 19:28-48
The Village Chapel - 04/13/2025

Why have Christians observed Palm Sunday each year for the past 2,000 years? Why is it often called the “Triumphal Entry”? And why did Jesus choose to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey?

Some misunderstood what Jesus was doing that day—and many still do. Some expected a political liberator. Others rejected or ignored Him altogether. A few even tried to silence Him and His followers. And yet, millions throughout history have come to believe in Jesus and have found new life in His name. How is that possible? Can that happen for anyone?

Full Barns and Empty Hearts: The Gospel According to Luke 
Luke 12:1-21
The Village Chapel - 04/06/2025

Fear is a powerful force. It can drive us to action or paralyze us in uncertainty. But the question Jesus asks us in Luke 12:1-21 is not whether we fear, but whom we fear. The solution Jesus gives us to our fears may come as a surprise. Rather than fearing man, He calls us to fear the One who holds eternal authority—God Himself. But what does it mean to truly fear the Lord? When feared rightly, what does a life of faithfulness look like? Join us as we continue our study in the gospel of Luke and uncover why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom—and the key to fearless, faithful living!

Wisdom in Warnings: The Gospel According to Luke 
Luke 11:33-54
The Village Chapel - 03/30/2025

We often picture Jesus as the ultimate example of being kind-hearted and soft-spoken, but he is also unafraid to speak hard words of truth in love when necessary. In Luke 11:33-54, Jesus encounters Pharisees and lawyers at a dinner and severely criticizes them for their external religion and adherence to man-made laws, which lead others astray. 

Join Pastor Matt as we reflect on how Jesus confronts hypocrisy and challenges us to live a life that points to Him.

The Stronger One: The Gospel According to Luke 
Luke 11:14-32
The Village Chapel - 03/23/2025

The mercy of God often arrives in ways we don’t expect. In Luke 11:14–32, Jesus confronts spiritually hardened hearts and warns of vulnerability to the schemes of Satan. When He casts out a mute demon, the crowd marvels—but others resist, question and accuse. Jesus doesn’t simply silence the critics; He reveals a greater reality: a cosmic conflict between two kingdoms, and only one King brings lasting freedom.

Join Pastor Tommy as we consider together the reality of spiritual warfare, the clarity of Christ’s kingdom, and the mercy found in His warnings.

The Gift, Privilege & Power of Prayer: The Gospel According to Luke 
Luke 11:5-13
The Village Chapel - 03/16/2025

Prayer is one of God’s greatest gifts—an open invitation to commune with the Creator of the universe. Yet, if we’re honest, we often approach it with mixed motives, distracted hearts, and uncertain faith.

In Luke 11:5-13, Jesus teaches that prayer is not only a gift but also a privilege and a source of transforming power. He urges us to ask, seek, and knock, revealing that our Heavenly Father is not reluctant or annoyed but delights in hearing from us.

Join Pastor Jim as he reminds us that God welcomes us in prayer, is more generous than we can imagine, and, through prayer, draws us deeper into His heart, His plans, and His purposes.

Lord, Teach Us to Pray: The Gospel According to Luke 
Luke 11:1-4
The Village Chapel - 03/09/2025

Do you ever wonder if prayer really works or makes a difference? Does God truly hear and answer our prayers? In this sermon, Pastor Jim dives into the Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:1-4), uncovering what prayer is—and isn’t. Is prayer simply making requests for what we want, or is it our lifeline to God, a way of developing a life-altering communion with the Lord? As we explore Jesus’ own teaching on prayer, we’ll learn to approach God not just as a distant deity, but as a loving Father who invites us into a personal relationship. Together, we’ll discover how prayer shapes our hearts and minds, aligns our will with God’s, and can transform our view of everyone and everything in the world around us. Like the disciples, let’s learn to pray as Jesus taught us.

First Things First: The Gospel According to Luke 
Luke 10:38-42
The Village Chapel - 03/02/2025

In a world that glorifies much-ness, many-ness, productivity and busyness, are we missing what matters most? When Jesus visited Martha and Mary, one was distracted, worried and bothered with her hospitality and preparations, the other was sitting close to Jesus, listening to His Word. How does their story reflect the way our own hearts can be at times? Are we prioritizing productivity over presence, service over surrender? Join us as we explore the dangers of distraction, the delights of devotion, and the call to put first things first—listening to God’s Word, sitting at the feet of Jesus.

Unexpected Mercy: The Gospel According to Luke 
Luke 10:25-37
The Village Chapel - 02/23/2025

The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus’ most well-known teachings, but its depth goes far beyond a simple moral lesson. In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus responds to a lawyer’s question about inheriting eternal life by pointing to the heart of God’s law: love for God and love for neighbor. Yet, through this encounter, Jesus exposes the impossibility of perfectly fulfilling the law on our own strength and reveals our profound need for God’s grace and mercy.

Join Pastor Tommy as we explore how Jesus redefines what it means to love God and others. His mercy is not only for the broken man on the roadside but also for the self-assured lawyer—and for us. Whether you wrestle with the weight of legalism or the pull of self-centeredness, Jesus invites you to step into a life centered on Him.

Field Notes From the Harvest: The Gospel According to Luke 
Luke 10:1-24
The Village Chapel - 02/16/2025

Did you know that there is only one place in the New Testament where we read that Jesus rejoiced? What was he rejoicing about? What captured his heart and soul? It was the saving of souls, because it is the desire of God that none should perish, but that all should reach repentance. Join us as we study through Luke chapter 10 and learn how Jesus equips his followers and sends them out on this mission that is so precious to his heart!

The Greatness of Humility: The Gospel According to Luke
Luke 9:46-62
The Village Chapel - 02/09/2025

In Luke 9:46-62, Jesus confronts two of the most pressing issues in the life of a disciple—ambition and commitment. As the disciples argue over who is the greatest, we see a reflection of our own struggle for significance and recognition. Jesus turns our idea of greatness on its head by teaching us that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is not found in status or success but in learning to love and serve others.

The call of Jesus is radical and uncompromising: choosing to follow Him will require complete surrender, the abandonment of personal priorities, and a willingness to embrace the cost of discipleship.

This passage is not just a theological lesson; it’s a challenge to radically reorient our lives around Jesus and His Kingdom. Join Pastor Jim as he helps us consider questions like: What are the things we cling to that hinder our walk with Christ? How can believing the Gospel of grace shape and influence us to greater humility and deeper spiritual growth?
