Sermons on Luke (Page 10)
Jesus Christ
Lori’s message is rooted in Luke 5.1-11. Lori Ortiz is a student at Pacific School of Religion and serving this year as our Pastor-in-Training at The Table. This is Lori’s first message to our church community at The Table.
Dwelling in the Christmas Story
Matt’s message is rooted in Luke 2. How might God’s appearance to the shepherds long ago prepare us to offer radical hospitality to around 120 unhoused guests this week through Winter Sanctuary? What work of Christmas is God calling you to fulfill?
Christmas Eve
Matt’s message from our 5pm Candlelight Christmas Eve worship gathering is rooted in Luke 2. Little Drummer Boy featuring Omari Tau.
God
Matt’s message invites reflection on God. How might the Bible and Christian tradition shape the ways we talk about God? What images and metaphors might be faithful in our day to express God’s ineffability? This is the third week of our five-week worship series called On Ramp.
Baptism at The Table
This is the final week in a three-week worship series on Godly Play and welcoming children at The Table. Matt’s message is rooted in the baptismal liturgy of our community (adapted from a liturgy by Marcia McFee), Godly Play’s story of baptism, and the baptism of Jesus in Luke’s Gospel. We will celebrate baptism on Sunday, October 25. We hope this message will help us in getting ready for the beauty and power of baptism.
Seeing the Nativity
Matt’s message is rooted in Luke 2.22-40. Simeon saw redemption in the Christ child. Where will we see the Christ child in our lives today?
Nothing Is Impossible With God
Linda’s message is rooted in Luke 1.26-38. Nothing is impossible with God. The opening song is Mother of God by The Brilliance. The closing song on the podcast is Same As It Ever Was (Start Today) by Michael Franti.
Food Insecurity
Matt’s message reflects on food insecurity through the lens of A Place at the Table and the Road to Emmaus.
Parable of the Prodigal Son
Matt’s message is rooted in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15.11-32).
Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
Agape (David Scherer) led worship at The Table. Dave’s message is rooted in Luke 18.9-14.
Christmas Eve
Matt’s message for our 11pm Candlelight Christmas Eve worship was rooted in Luke 2.1-20. God’s message came to the shepherds…to those who had given up on being inside. God’s message comes today to those who’ve given up on being inside as well, even to those who’ve given up on God.
Luke
Sara’s message is rooted in Luke 22.39-46 and reflects on Luke’s account of the death & resurrection of Jesus. How often do we want to take full control of a situation instead of trusting what God has planned for us? This is the final week in our three-week journey through the Gospel of Luke.
