Paying Taxes to Caesar

A Heart for God

Luke [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LukeSermonSeries_WebBanner.jpg] Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, Jesus turns to his disciples for a teaching moment. He helps us see that if we want to know the priorities of our heart, we should look at the priorities of our life. Then, ask, “Where is the Lord?” Audio [http://media.downtowncornerstone.org/luke/20260621_a_heart_for_god.mp3] | Notes [https://media.downtowncornerstone.org/luke/20260621_a_heart_for_god.pdf] | Luke 20:45 - 21:4 [/scripture/luke/luke-20]

Whose Son is the Christ?

Luke [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LukeSermonSeries_WebBanner.jpg] Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, Jesus asks his enemies a question about the identity of the Christ from Psalm 110. Here we learn that that Jesus is not merely David’s son but David’s Lord, which means He’s not someone to manage but worship.

The God of Resurrection

Luke [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LukeSermonSeries_WebBanner.jpg] Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, Jesus’ enemies try to trap him yet again. This time they reach for a question about the resurrection. Jesus’ response is a powerful comfort: Our God is not God of the dead, but of the living.

Paying Taxes to Caesar

Luke [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LukeSermonSeries_WebBanner.jpg] We continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, Jesus’ enemies try to trap him yet again. This time they use politics, but as usual he turns it around on them. Caesar and God are not automatic rivals. We are to give Caesar what is Caesar’s, and God what is God’s.

Our Shepherd-King Reigns

Micah [https://www.downtowncornerstone.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Micah_2026_1920x550.png] This morning, we continue our series in the prophetic book of Micah. Written to call God’s people back to a right relationship with him, Micah’s prophecies both warn about the consequences of sin, and put forward the hope of restoration by grace. In Micah 5, we get a greater glimpse of the Shepherd-King who delivers the remnant of his people. And because our Shepherd-King reigns in every age, we can daily depend on him today.
