Luke 14:1, 7–14 finds Jesus at a dinner party, watching guests scramble for the best seats. Instead of competing for honor, he calls us to humility, generosity, and hospitality that can’t be repaid. In this sermon, we hear the good news of God’s abundance: a table so wide that every seat is first-class, every place is holy, and no one is left out.

Luke 13:10–17 tells of a woman bent over for eighteen years, weighed down by pain and invisibility. She doesn’t even ask to be healed—but Jesus sees her, calls her forward, and sets her free. In this sermon, we hear the good news that Christ meets us in our weariness, lifts us when we cannot lift ourselves, and restores us to dignity and praise.

Luke 12:49–56 is not the gentle Jesus we want on a pillow. Instead of comfort, he brings fire and truth that disrupt false peace. In this sermon, we face the signs of our times and hear Christ’s call to disturb the peace of complacency so that God’s refining love can take hold.

Luke 12:32–40 begins with, ‘Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.’ In this sermon, readiness is not about bracing for judgment but leaning toward joy—keeping our lamps lit, our hearts open, and our welcome ready for the love that will surely come.

Luke 12:13–21 tells of a man who tears down his barns to build bigger ones—only to discover that life is more than what we store. In this sermon, we trade isolation for community, fear for connection, and hear Jesus’ call to be ‘rich toward God’ by sharing what we have and building longer tables.

Luke 11:1–13 begins with the disciples asking, ‘Lord, teach us to pray.’ Jesus promises that those who ask will receive, those who knock will find the door open—but the gift is not always what we asked for. In this sermon, we wrestle with unanswered prayers and discover the Spirit’s presence as the good gift God never withholds.

Luke 10:1–11 sends seventy disciples into the world with nothing but each other and a blessing of peace. Some will welcome them. Others will reject them. In this sermon, we face the sting of rejection and hear Jesus’ promise: your peace will return to you—because it was never theirs to take.

Luke 9:51–62 finds Jesus setting his face toward Jerusalem—straight into rejection, suffering, and love that won’t back down. Along the road, would-be followers say, ‘I will… but first…’ In this sermon, we face our own ‘but firsts’ and discover the freedom of following a Savior who walks into the fire with us—and will not turn back.
