We’re learning a lesson in gospel irony as Pastor J.D. continues our study in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke, Chapter 14, he unpacks the meaning of two seemingly different parables. But when we see how they tie together and how much God truly loves and cares for us, we’ll never be the same.

Not all invitations are equal. A backyard BBQ invite might show up in an email or a text message, whereas a wedding invitation is probably going to make a splash.

Have you ever wondered why God doesn’t just show up and announce himself? Wouldn’t that quiet down all the skeptics? As we continue our series titled “Kingdom Come,” Pastor J.D. explains that God reveals himself to those who want to know him but hides from those who want to use him.

In this passage of Luke 10, Pastor J.D. explains that Jesus conceals the truth from those who seek to use God as a means to an end.

The Gospel of Luke records several times when Jesus told people not to reveal who he is. If God wants everyone to know him, why did Jesus take such great pains to hide his accomplishments?

When someone asks, “What’s the point of prayer?” there are probably a couple of ways we could answer. As we continue our series, titled “Kingdom Come,” Pastor J.D. turns to the Gospel of Luke to teach us how to pray boldly and with persistence.

Almost every religion teaches prayer, and even non-religious people pray. But what makes Christian prayer different? For starters, it’s not about twisting someone’s arm, or cajoling a distant god, but speaking with boldness to our loving, Heavenly Father.

We’ve all heard the saying: “Nothing in life is certain, except death and taxes.” But Pastor J.D. explains how Jesus removed the sting and power of death

Wherever Jesus went, crowds followed. But no matter a person’s class or station, Jesus extends compassion and tenderness to anyone who comes to him in faith.
