Forgiving with Authority - Luke 5:12-26 (May 17, 2026)

In the stories of a man with leprosy and a man who was paralyzed, we find that Jesus's ministry of cleansing and healing demonstrates his authority to forgive sins. And it is that authority that is our assurance, as we remember how Jesus is willing to make people clean when they come to him in simple faith.

How to Catch a Fisherman - Luke 5:1-11 (May 10, 2026)

When Jesus called four fishermen to follow him, he started by causing them to catch a miraculous number of fish. This served as a real-life parable of what following Jesus is like: living out our faith, whether strong or weak, with active obedience. We put our faith to work, even when it’s weak, because we strengthen our faith and our trust by allowing it to be tested and put to work.

Healing with Authority - Luke 4:31-44 (May 3, 2026)

In Capernaum, Jesus demonstrated three aspects of his ministry: Bringing a Word, Bringing Healing, and Bringing a Mission. The words that Jesus speaks give us direction and understanding, the authority that Jesus exhibits while healing gives us confidence and assurance, and the mission of Jesus is on the move.

The Mission Statement - Luke 4:14-30 (April 26, 2026)

When Jesus launched his public ministry, he did so by quoting a passage from the prophecies of Isaiah, declaring that he had come to to preach good news to the poor, proclaim release to captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. This declaration shows us that the Good News of Jesus is about freedom.

Three Temptations - Luke 4:1-13 (April 19, 2026). Before Jesus began his earthly ministry, he was led into the desert for 40 days of preparation. At the end of that time, the devil came to tempt him. Jesus's response shows us that we can also resist temptation, if we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit which is alive in God's children.

The Sonship of the Savior - Luke 3:21-38 (April 12, 2026)

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and His Father calls him "beloved". And it is through Jesus's sonship that we have access as to God as beloved sons and daughters of a Heavenly Father.
