Worry tempts us to believe the worst is yet to come. But it’s lying to you! It’s a false alarm! Worry is always deceitful when you serve a loving, sovereign God.

Luke 12:13-34

We let fear of man control us. We try to cover these things up with impressive resumes, over-committing, or needing others to fill us up. We become worried we might be exposed as an imposter, we second guess decisions because we are afraid of making mistakes that make us look bad….in other people’s eyes, we can feel empty or meaningless, we get easily embarrassed, jealous of other people, people make you angry or depressed, or we avoid people. It leads to us becoming hypocrites as we have talked about before. This hypocrisy of putting on masks to cover up our inner ugliness, and alter our self-identity. But what Jesus is going to tell his disciples and us this morning is that when it comes to the kingdom we cannot live our lives this way. We can’t be afraid of being rejected, or ridiculed. And the solution to doin this is understanding a proper fear of God will free us from improper fears of men.

Luke 12:1-12

So often we clean up our act to keep up appearances. We act as though everything is fine on the outside when inside there is a raging war. But Jesus transforms us from the inside out. In this text, we see that Trusting in Jesus' righteousness is the key to salvation.

Luke 11:37-54

Looking for a sign? It's Jesus.

Luke 11:29-36

This morning, Jesus lays down the gauntlet. If you’re not for him, you’re against him.

Luke 11:14-28

If you were asked, “Do our prayers change anything?” What would you say? Find out what God says this morning, as we learn how to pray!

Luke 11:1-13

Does life feel hectic and out of control? Do you feel like you're barely keeping it all together? You're not alone. Come to the feet of Jesus and listen to his words of life!

Luke 10:38-42

We like to show mercy to those whom we think deserve it most. But what if God did that?

Luke 10:25-37

Oftentimes we treat God like any other subject of investigation. We examine him. Pick him apart. Stand in judgement of him. Take out the parts we don't like and keep the parts we do.

But God has chosen to reveal himself to the humble and child-like, not the prideful and wise of this age.

Luke 10:21-24

Do you have a life’s mission for which you would be willing to risk everything? Do you have a calling on your life that makes everything else pale in comparison and is worth giving up everything, even your own life?

In our text this morning, Jesus invites us to find our life’s mission in his. He invites us to risk our lives to carry the good news of his victory to a world that is lost and in confusion.

Luke 10:1-20

We let trivial things sap our fervor for God’s kingdom. The more you live in this world and set your heart, mind, and soul on things in this world, the more your earnestness for God’s kingdom diminishes. But, if we are to be true the calling we received when we first believed the gospel, we must remember that following Jesus requires total allegiance.

Luke 9:51-62

The lie we believe: “I Am Nothing More Than My Best Moment.”

Truth: “Success can’t define you, if you’re already content..”

Philippians 4:10-13

The lie we believe: “I Am Nothing More Than My Worst Moment.”

God’s truth: “I Am A Work In Progress.”

Psalm 51:1-15

The lie we believe: “I am what people think or say about me.”

God’s truth: “I am who God says I am.”

Galatians 1:10-17

The lie we believe: “I am what I do.”

God’s truth: “I am a servant of God, even as I serve others”

Colossians 3:23-25

We are constantly temped to believe that we are what we have. Materialism, consumerism, and the constant American fascination with stuff infects our hearts. But God's truth that crowds out these lies and mentality is that I am a manager of God's resources. I don't own anything. Everything I've been called to steward is for the sake of God, his kingdom, and the good of my neighbors!

Philippians 3:17-20

Every one of us has a past that, if revealed, would get us cancelled. Our own consciences condemn us. Our memories remind us of our greatest regrets. But God sent his Son to save. That is the good news of Easter. Though we stood condemned, dead in our sin, Jesus willingly laid down his life for ours...

John 3:14-18

We live in a world where Peace rarely seems like a “winning” strategy. Jesus’ solution to a world of conflict is a kingdom of peace. In contrast to the violence and arrogance of worldly kings; Jesus is humble and suffering. And though that sounds like weakness by the world’s standards, this king’s humility brings lasting peace to our war-torn earth.

Matthew 21-1:11

We use prayer as a “Hail Mary,” as a last ditch effort. But this is not the function God created prayer to be in the life of his children. God designed prayer to be preparation for every spiritual battle.

Matthew 6:13

We believe certain offenses are unforgivable. We think the person needs to pay for what they've done first, or we don't want to lose the upper hand. They don't deserve to be forgiven, we say. But when we remember our rebellion against God and the infinite well of forgiveness we freely draw from daily, we find the strength to forgive the most unforgivable offenses. Simply put, if Jesus forgave the unforgivable in you, you can forgive the unforgivable in others.

Matthew 6:12
