Last Sunday we discussed “You and Your Money”. Using the parable of the dishonest manager from Luke 16:1-8, we were reminded of three (3) principles concerning money and possessions: 1) it is not your money, 2) you are a manager of God’s money, and 3) you are accountable for how you manage God’s money. TheContinueContinue reading “True Riches (Luke 16:9-13)”

You and Your Money (Luke 16:1-8)
Parable of the Dishonest Manager In Luke 16:1-8, Jesus tells us about a rich man who employed a man to manage his money and accounts. The manager was dishonest and was charged with wasting his master’s possessions. When the charges were brought to the master, he ordered the manger to turn in “the account ofContinueContinue reading “You and Your Money (Luke 16:1-8)”
The Other Lost Son (Luke 15:25-32)
Last week’s sermon focused on the parable of the “Prodigal Son” from Luke 15:11-24. It was entitled “The Lost Son” because it dealt with the younger son who went to a far away country and “squandered his property in reckless living” (13). It was easy to identify this son as lost because his outward actionsContinueContinue reading “The Other Lost Son (Luke 15:25-32)”

God’s Lost & Found (Luke 15:1-10)
In our text this morning, we come to two parables of Jesus: the parable of the Lost Sheep and the parable of the Lost Coin. These two parables are practical stories that communicate great spiritual truth. While the two parables are different, they both vividly illustrate the truth of John 3:16: “God so loved theContinueContinue reading “God’s Lost & Found (Luke 15:1-10)”
Renounce All You Have (Luke 14:25-35)
Have you ever considered what it was like to be Abraham when he was told to sacrifice his only son (Genesis 22)? Actually, you are told to do what Abraham was told. No, you are not told to sacrifice your child. But you are told (like Abraham) to renounce all that you have and thusContinueContinue reading “Renounce All You Have (Luke 14:25-35)”
Offended by Grace (Luke 14:15-24)
Our text this morning is found in the 14th chapter of the Gospel of Luke, in verses 15-24. Jesus is in the home of a Pharisee (Jewish religious leader) eating a meal on the Sabbath. This has been a tense meal thus far because Jesus offended the religious leaders by healing a disabled man (4)ContinueContinue reading “Offended by Grace (Luke 14:15-24)”

A Question, A Door, and A Table (Luke 13:22-30)
In our passage this morning we are told that Jesus is going “on His way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem” (22). Jerusalem is significant because that is where He will “suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the thirdContinueContinue reading “A Question, A Door, and A Table (Luke 13:22-30)”
