The God Who Sees (Luke 7:11-17)

Picturing Dad (Father's Day 2026)

"The Word of God gives us many different pictures of dads and whether your dad was out of the picture, in the picture, or perhaps he was the one taking the pictures of your life we can all learn valuable lessons about the kind of fathers, father-figures, or mentors we want to be and ultimately, the kind of Father God has been to us." -Sermon from Pastor Tre

From Legion to Liberation (Luke 8:26-39)

We have a real Enemy trying to keep us enslaved to this world. Thankfully though, we have an even greater Advocate who has overcome this foe of ours. The story of the Gadarene demoniac is a powerful example of the Sovereignty of God, His willingness to suffer with us, His power over Satan and the victory and abundant life that we can have because of Jesus.

See How You Hear (Luke 8:16-25)

"Last Sunday Pastor Mike shared Jesus’ emphasis on sowing the seed of God’s Word. In the parable of the Sower (Lk. 8:4-15 [https://ref.ly/Lk8.4-15]) and the parable of the lamps (Lk. 8:16-18 [https://ref.ly/Lk8.16-18]) Luke uses two different examples to drive home the same point. Imagine these stories as one piece of fruit, a peach for example. If we were to open that peach, at its center we would find a seed. Comparatively, the seed at the center of these parables is hearing God’s Word.First, as ministers of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18 [https://ref.ly/2Co5.18]), we learn from this parable of the Sower, to be generous with the Word of God. We are to scatter it far and wide. Second, the soil into which that seed is sown matters a lot. Finally, we are to allow the light of God’s Word to illuminate our lives and the lives of those around us. ‍In the parable of the Sower, Jesus teaches His disciples the importance of what to hear. In the verses that we will cover today, Jesus teaches His disciples the importance of how to hear. Open your Bibles and go with me to Luke eight and let’s start at verse sixteen." - Sermon by Pastor Tre

Sowing Seeds (Luke 8:1-15)

"So many things in our nation, even in this community, have changed during the past thirty-six years, but there is one thing that hasn’t changed at all. Fads, trends, technology, social mores and norms, political power shifts, as well as other changes have and will continue to change in our society in the future, but who the Lord called us to be and the course He set us on so many years ago hasn’t changed at all. God called us back then, and He continues to call us to this very day, to be a “Lighthouse of Hope to the Community,” to teach His Word, to share the Good News of Jesus in any and every way possible. This leads us to our Scripture for this morning, found in Luke 8:1-15. Turn there with me and let’s read it together. " Sermon from Pastor Mike

When Grace Confronts Us All (Luke 7:36-50)

"A Pharisee, a Rabbi, and a woman walk into a party. This sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but it's not. This Sunday we get to take a closer look at Luke's story about the two debtors. One thing you will discover in this story is that we all stand in need of grace. It really doesn't matter who we are or how we have behaved. Thank God for Jesus!" -Sermon by Pastor Tre
