    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 5, 2025
     | 467 views

    Our Old Testament Lesson brings us Isaiah 61, a wonderful lesson which speaks of the Messiah coming to redeem God's People. Jesus made this the first recorded sermon He preached in Luke 4, telling the men of Nazareth that He is the Messiah Isaiah told about.

    The Sermon So Nice It Got Preached Twice Good Morning!! We have a very special lesson from Isaiah this morning that I would like to dig into for my first sermon of the year. It’s good to use it as a first sermon, because it’s the text for the first “recorded” sermon Jesus gave. We can begin with ...read more

    A sermon about Jesus' call to humble ourselves.

    Luke 14:7-14 “Chutes and Ladders” (The Idea for Chutes and Ladders comes from a commentary by Mark Ralls in Feasting on the Gospels, Luke part 2 pgs. 62-66)) There is a game for children that has been around for a long time, since 1943, to be exact.

    "Fishermen: Jesus Gives Them A Do Over”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,103 views

    "Do Overs" We all have them. The disciples got a "do over", because Jesus was in the boat. Jesus makes people different. Making people different is why Jesus was born. Quote by a man who will not get a "do over" on Judgment day.

    In Jesus Holy Name February 6, 2022 Luke 5:1-11 Redeemer “Fishermen: Jesus Gives Them a Do Over” Do over days. Have you ever had one? You would be a most unusual person if you didn't have a few do over days in your history. Think back. Come on. Be honest. I'm talking ...read more

    based on 35 ratings
     | 16,479 views

    When John begins his journey as a disciple he has a thunderous character which is very intolerant. Yet, because Jesus sees all disciples as “a work in progress” we can have the hope and assurance that we also can be disciples for Jesus.

    Message Luke 9:51-56 John son of Zebedee:- thundering character gives way to loving disciple. I don’t want to sound disrespectful to Jesus but, as we have systematically considered the disciples, we have found ourselves in a position where we have to wonder about the choice of disciples which ...read more
