    Using the Nicene Creed (in addition to Luke 23:27-43), we look at Christology and Who Jesus is, how He saves us, and how He and the Father are one. The sermon is Christological in nature, but also looks at the Trinity.

    CHRIST THE KING Luke 23:27-43 Stephen H. Becker, M.Div. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church—Elk Grove, CA Christ the King Sunday, November 25, 2007 Grace and peace to you my friends, from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ!

    There’s power in making the decision to give the gift He really wants: to "follow Him." But in this story in Luke, 3 men tell Jesus that that is precisely what they want to do. So why isn’t Jesus content with their gift?

    OPEN: About three years ago, Dave Barry made this observation about Christmas: "Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable gift for his wife for last Christmas. He did give her something last ...read more

    Luke shows us God’s choice of parents for Jesus and John the Baptist. We can learn a lot about the kind of character God wants in parents when we see Zacharias, Elizabeth, Joseph and Mary’s character.

    Today is the first Sunday of 2008! Happy New Year! We have a lot to look forward to this year. As we begin this new year, we also begin a new look at the Lord and his church through the eyes of Luke. It all starts with God’s “Planned Parenthood” for Zechariah and Elizabeth and Mary and Joseph. ...read more

    The Laodicean Church had become complacent & apatetic about the cause of Christ because its members were involved in the worldly activities of the affluent society in which they lived. Jesus tells them that He would not accept their luke-warm attitude.

    Revelation 3: 14-22 THE COMPLACENT CHURCH [Matthew 2:19-34] The letters to the seven churches are God’s X-rays, given so that we might examine our own lives and ministries. Judgment is going to come to this world, but it first begins at the ...read more

    In Luke 15, we find a young man who could have easily written the words to the song "I wanna go home." His story provides encouragement for anyone who is homesick for the life that they once enjoyed as a child of God.

    I Wanna Go Home Luke15:11-19 Many of you are familiar the lyrics to the song “Detroit City”. The First line goes “I wanna go home. I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.” In Luke 15, Christ tells the story of a young man who could have easily written ...read more

    In Luke 19:1-10 Jesus’ willingness to be present to Zacchaeus ends up being an act of evangelism. His encounter with his Savior changes his life. Is there ever anyone beyond the reach of God’s grace. The answer is "No!"

    Luke 19:1-10 “The Rich Little Man” By: Ken Sauer, pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN Poor Zacchaeus! He wants to see Jesus but he can’t. He’s a small man, and he can’t see through the crowd. So, he climbs a tree. Poor Zacchaeus!... …or is he? Luke tells us ...read more

    I remember as a kid watching the TV series called "KUNG FU" staring David Caradine. The blind Master Po (Keye Luke) calls his young student "GRASSHOPPER" to "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED". We are not grasshoppers but we are called to BEWARE.

He is a big man with muscles like an Olympic weight lifter, a voice that booms and a laugh that is full and infectious. PATRICK PATTERSON loves the Lord and if ...read more
