04/17/2022 | “The Risen Christ” | Luke 24:1-12
There is much to consider in passage such as this one. The resurrection brings great hope–because Jesus is alive, all of His people have hope of life eternal and the hope of the resurrection of their own bodies unto glory. The resurrection gives us a hope that is truly unshakable.
04/03/2022 | “Condemned He Stood” | Luke 23:1-25
What we see in that scene is the innocent condemned in the place of the guilty. Is this not what Jesus has done for His people? The Spotless Lamb was condemned so that His people might go free. The old hymn, “Man of Sorrows, What A Name!” by Philip Bliss uses the phrase, “In my place condemned He stood.” Christ stood condemned instead of His people. Though we deserved the judgment of God, Christ Himself took it upon Himself at the Cross. Because Christ has accomplished all this on behalf of His people, we may go free.
05/29/2022 | “Fear Not!” | Luke 21:5-19
“Fear Not!” is common in scripture. But how can we possibly obey it? After all fear is a response to circumstances we cannot control. Our finitude creates anxiety. We are not in control. We never were. But what God commands, He provides. The remedy for fear is faith in the one who is in control. Luke 21:5-19 appears fear-filled. But closer examination reveals assurance and victory. Listen as we consider how God equips us to advance the gospel through this tremendous assurance.
05/01/2022 | “Ascended to Heaven” | Luke 24:50-53
Every week Christians profess their faith in the Apostles’ Creed. Among its central doctrines is a profession that Jesus “ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.” Yet many have never considered why the Ascension is such an important doctrine. Join us as we examine Luke 24:50-53 and consider the hope and comfort we receive from the Ascension.
