    Luke focuses his Gospel on the theme of reversal in which Jesus is said to have turned the values of status upside down. In Jesus’ upside down world, the poor are lifted up, the oppressed are set free and Jesus, God’s son forgives sins.

    A New Day!! INTRO: It’s a new day. Not just any new day, it is the first day for a new year. Only a week ago we had Christmas. And today we will look at the relevance of this baby Jesus who as a man so radically changed the world. The reading today demonstrates this and is found in Luke ...read more

    God has always expressed care for those who hurt; it’s nothing new. But Jesus extended that care to those not like His listeners, and His church is intended to reach the marginal.

    This week, while the rest of you were surfing the Internet reading Ken Starr’s report, I was reading my favorite form of literature. I was reading "church bulletin bloopers."

    Justice or righteousness? Churches tend to pick one or the other. Which one did Jesus pick?

    To kick off our time together, I want to look at two words and talk about what comes to mind when you hear them. So, grab 4 or five people around you and gather into small groups and let’s start with the first word. When you hear the word “righteousness” what do you think about? What does the word ...read more

    Jesus was rejected in His hometown because the people there had grown proud and unteachable. They were so familiar with their version of truth that they rejected real truth.

It describes what happened to Jesus when He returned to His home after having ministered to others outside of His hometown. Let’s read. Let me tell you a story. ...read more
