In a world that often overlooks or exploits children, our text this morning shows us Jesus’ heart for children—and His call to us. Parents were bringing their infants to Jesus for His blessing, but the disciples tried to turn them away, seeing kids as unimportant. Jesus stops them cold: “Let the children come to me.” Not only does He welcome kids, but He says they’re our example for entering God’s kingdom. The kingdom belongs to those who come to God with childlike humility and trust. (Luke 18:1...

In the Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1–8), Jesus shows us how to stay faithful in the tension of waiting through persistent prayer that refuses to faint. Waiting on the Lord isn't passive and sitting on your hands--it's active, rooted in prayer. Waiting isn't just about asking God to act; it's where God works in us, and we can work for Him too.

Do we take God’s grace for granted or does deep gratitude fuel our faith to live with humble devotion? As we will see, gratitude isn’t just a polite thank you—it’s the cure for entitlement, the spark that turns our faith into worship, touching the lives of others to the glory of Jesus. (Luke 17:11-19)

Being called “salty” can carry a different connotation. It can refer to a person who is bitter, whose words are often harsh, and whose attitude repels others. But Jesus calls us to something different: a saltiness that preserves, purifies, and draws others to Him. Jesus calls us to be distinctive in influence, refined through trials, and gracious in speech so that we preserve peace and reflect His grace. (Luke 14:34-35)

Where there’s a will, especially one shaped by love, there’s a way. If we really care about something and sense the urgency, if we don’t know how, we’ll learn how. If you care about souls being saved, you’ll seek to be equipped to do your part to reach them for Christ. We may never be a Billy Graham, but we’re all called to do the work of an evangelist. We may not reach thousands, but even one soul matters. (Luke 14:25-35)

In this passage, Jesus shows the Pharisees that this is the greater righteousness than the law; to love your neighbor on the Sabbath. At His table, God seats the outcast and brings them to the highest position of honor, He saves the outsiders and brings them into the light, and judges His opposition, bringing justice.

Jesus speaks of the narrow door that is the way of salvation in Him, which although it is a free gift of His grace, living it out in this life will come with a price. The heart of a Spirit-filled evangelist mirrors Christ’s own—perceiving the urgency of the narrow door, proclaiming its exclusive truth, and pouring out compassion for the lost to enter.

“Somehow, nature renews itself with fire—a lot of old and dead stuff is burned away, new vegetation starts to grow, and new life actually begins to spring up. God seems to have established this principle in the world - the fire that destroys can also renew.” (Ron Hutchcraft) In this message, we will learn that God’s refining fire is spread through believers to bring about gospel transformation in the world; more specifically, spreading the purifying fire of God will come at a great price but wil...

"Is Jesus coming soon? No one knows, but He'll return to a world that looks very much like ours. But whether or not Jesus comes back physically in our time, He is most certainly going to come for you in this generation. He'll be coming for you, one way or another, and then it will be too late to get ready. The time to do that is now.” (Hutchcraft) Let’s consider what Jesus said in Luke 12:35-48 about being ready and prepared for His return.

In Luke 12:13-34, Jesus was not saying that it’s wrong to purchase a house or to own a car. He’s not saying that it’s a sin to own material things. The problem comes when material possessions possess us and blind us to the things that truly matter. What you treasure most will shape your deepest longings--and your deepest longings will determine the course and destiny of your life.
