Sermons on Luke (Page 12)
Prodigal God
Linda, Matt, and Scott present a contemporary reflection on the story commonly called The Prodigal Son from Luke’s Gospel. In rethinking this parable, what might we learn regarding who Jesus is for us today? Special thanks to Rev. Christy Thomas for her version of Prodigal Son and Rev. Steve Garnaas-Holmes for his poetry and prayers at Unfolding Light.
A Vineyard Gardener
Matt’s messgage is rooted in Luke 13.1-9. Who do we say Jesus is? The message reflects on Jesus’ call to repent and the parable of the fig tree. How might God be pruning our roots and spreading manure in hope that we will bare fruit?
A Mother Hen
Matt’s messgage is rooted in Luke 13.31-35. Who do we say Jesus is? The message reflects on Jesus imagining himself as a mother hen. What might this image have to teach us about who Jesus is today?
Testing
We begin our Lenten worship series with reflection on Jesus’ test in the wilderness. Why was Jesus tested? What might Go’d test for us be today? Matt’s message is rooted in Luke 4.1-13.
Grace & the Work of Christmas
Matt’s message is rooted in Luke 2.41-52.
The Scale of Christmas
Matt’s Christmas Eve message is rooted in Luke 2.1-20.
Reaching in Love
Matt’s message is rooted in the story of Zacchaeus from Luke 19. Our journey toward a “new you” continues with Reaching in Love. How will the new you reach in love?
