Just Talk About What's In the Bible

Text: Luke 14:25-33
This church is a place where we experiment in being stewards....of managing our lives with Jesus at the center.  Today Jesus has given us three places where we can practice this stewardship:

  • In our relationship to Jesus as one that is not only at the center but is the most precious relationship we have.
  • In the invitation to be shaped by the cross..to carry the cross into our daily lives
  • In surrender of our possessions as a celebration of our freedom in Christ.

He Sets the Captive Free

Pentecost 4C
Luke 8:26-39

This is the first lesson -- Jesus comes looking for us When we are living daily lives that seem far removed from any visible relationship to God, Jesus comes looking for us.

We learn a second lesson today:  Jesus is bigger than whatever has us by the throat Whatever it is that we have kept hidden in the dark places of our lives -- Jesus is able to come there without shame.

We learn a third lesson today:  Some people really don't want to be healed. They don't want Jesus in their lives to mess around with core values and faith and everyday impacts from dealing with a demon killing, life-giving Lord.  It would be too painful, too hard of a thing.

We learn a final lesson today: - Don't use your gift of faith as a means to remove yourself from the world. God is sending us back into the world that God so loves to connect, invite, grow and serve in God's name.

How do you live your life in response to God’s abundance in your lives?

Text: Luther 12:13-21

This is a financial stewardship sermon that that is preached at a time when there is not a request to the congregation to give more money.  Instead it examines the relationship we have with what God has entrusted to us.
