Tulsa Bible Church: Sermons

The Mission: Luke 10.1-24

Why do so many Christians feel spiritually restless today? In this message from Luke 10, we explore how easy it is to drift through life without purpose, direction, or mission. Using the story of Castaway as a powerful illustration, this sermon challenges believers to stop living spiritually adrift and rediscover the mission God has called them to. Jesus never intended His followers to simply survive culture. He called us to live intentionally, make disciples, and find our identity in Him. This sermon covers: • Spiritual drift • Identity in Christ • The mission of the Church • Why modern culture leaves people restless • Finding purpose through the Gospel • The urgency of sharing Jesus with others

Cost of Discipleship: Luke 9.23-62

Many people want Jesus... until following Him costs something. In Luke 9, Jesus challenges His disciples with one of the hardest truths in Scripture: whoever wants to save their life will lose it. This sermon dives deep into surrender, sacrifice, eternal perspective, and the glory waiting for believers who remain faithful.

The King We Need: Luke 9.1-22

Everyone wants a Savior… until Jesus starts confronting the things we want to control. In Luke 9, Jesus forces a question that changes everything: Do you want the real King? Or just a version of Him that makes life easier? This message explores why people wanted a Messiah they could use, but rejected the Messiah who demanded surrender. From Herod, to the crowds, to the disciples, the same struggle still exists today: we want comfort without repentance, inspiration without authority, and a Jesus who affirms us without changing us.

Biblical Authority: Luke 8.40-56

We don’t trust authority anymore.. and honestly, there are good reasons why. But what if rejecting authority isn’t actually freeing you… it’s trapping you? In Luke 8, everything is on the line: a dying child, a desperate father, and a moment that feels like it came too late. Right in the middle of it, Jesus interrupts, and raises a deeper question: Can you trust an authority you don’t control? This message explores what happens when your control runs out, why faith doesn’t have to be perfect, and whether there’s an authority that doesn’t just lead, but actually saves. Because one day, you’ll face something you can’t overcome. Will it defeat you… or save you?

Faces of Evil: Luke 8.22-39

There is an ongoing battle, a war that takes place not in the news but inside your heart. This war is depicted in Luke chapter 8 when Jesus faces two mighty storms. In this narrative, Jesus comes against an external storm of rage and against an internal storm of possession of demons. But more than that, what is revealed is that this same God has dominion over all evil. While external evil can cause you problems, internal evil can bring you into bondage. But remember, the most dangerous storm isn’t always the one raging outside; it’s the one brewing within you.
