Sermons on Luke (Page 6)
In God We Trust
Linda’s message is rooted in Luke 12.32-40. In the midst of a difficult week Linda shares her struggle to find the Good News of the Gospel in Jesus’ teaching that where our heart is, our treasure is also.
In God We Trust
Linda’s message is rooted in Luke 12.13-21. The parable of the rich fool digs deep, right to the heart. It tells the story of money’s ability to impoverish your soul. The invitation is to consider our priorities and to wonder what it looks like to have our life demanded of us. Where is God in our list of priorities?
Knock!
Matt’s message is rooted in Luke 11.1-13. What places help you to connect with God through prayer? This lesson from Jesus on prayer is often read as a call to persistence in prayer. Yet, the word in verse 8 translated as “persistence” actually means “shameless.” Who is shameless in this story?

Easter Sunrise
We gathered at sunrise in the Rose Garden in McKinley Park to celebrate resurrection & baptism. Linda’s sunrise Easter message is rooted in Luke 24.1-12.
Setback
Holy Friday at The Table was rooted in Luke’s account of Jesus’ crucifixion. Instead of setting ourselves back at a distance this Holy Friday, our task is to join with those suffering in our world by standing under the very reality of the cross as we hold fast to a God who so loves the world.
Subcontractors

Matt’s message is rooted in Luke 15. There was a man who had two sons…
Delayed
Linda’s message is rooted in Luke 13.1-9. The fig tree has an uncertain future, and truthfully, so do all of God’s people. Ultimately, God’s judgement comes. In the delay of that coming, how will we build our lives and ground our hope in the efforts that God, like the parable’s gardener, makes to prepare us for that judgment?
