What does God require of us? Justice. Justice that looks like fairness, consideration for the powerless, the suffering, those who have been mistreated. Justice that is making right judgments, doing the right thing even when it is hard. It is not prejudging or misjudging people. It is always seeking to do what is right. It is not simply something we…

Today’s theme from Luke winds its way throughout the letter, and it has to do with the “great reversal” that comes from the gospel. He speaks of pride and humility, of favoritism or partiality in the church, and he speaks of judging others, of the rich and the poor and of what constitutes true religion and the worthless substitute. Take a listen as…

“Even the demons believe…and shudder” is so powerful – it is not enough simply to believe, we’re meant to act. You can be an “armchair quarterback” and you’ll only be a fan.

Throughout the previous seven weeks of Lent we have reading through the Gospel of Luke. In Luke, we see Jesus consistently lifting up the outsiders, outcasts, and even outlaws. Jesus sees beauty in the people that society pushes aside. In today's message, we come to the climactic ending of Luke's Gospel and learn what it means to live both the cruc…

We’ve spent the last five weeks reading and studying the Gospel of Luke together. We’ve noted how Luke wants us to see the Jesus lifts up the lowly. He befriends the outsiders, the outcasts and the outlaws. But we’ve also seen that he has regularly called out religious leaders, frustrated by the way the way many, in their self-righteousness, pushed…
