Luke-Act IV: Stories with Jesus

Luke ACT 4, Stories from Jesus

In Luke 14-19, Jesus is still walking … but he starts telling more stories. Story is the language of the heart. Jesus uses his stories to teach and meet us where we are. He always points us back to him. Some of Jesus most famous parables are in this section, but the key theme remains: Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Have you ever felt lost? Jesus tell us all of heaven rejoices when someone come home to him. Come hear his stories and can rediscover the Savior.


Luke Series Overview
Have you ever lost something … something that was precious to you? It could be a family member, a wedding ring, a career, or, today, even you phone. Parts of our lives are precious to us. The question is: how far would you go? If someone or something is lost, how far would you go to seek and save them? We live in a world fill with lost people. People are searching, seeking, something bigger and better—something to fill the gap we sense in our hearts. People are longing for salvation but finding it in the wrong places. We need a savior.

The Gospel of Luke is the story of God himself, Jesus Christ, coming to earth to seek and save the lost. Luke is a long book, but it shows us many dimensions of Jesus. In every section we see Jesus seeking us. He comes as a baby through the incarnation … seeking us. He performs miracles to show his power .. as he seeks us. He walks along the road with us as we ask questions. He dies for us … but then he rises again. And now, he sends his followers out into the world to seek the lost.  

It’s the call of Jesus. How far would you go … to seek the lost?  

What is the point? These books begin with hope, but end in disappointment. The spiritual state of the people are unchanged. The political and social reforms don’t address the core concerns of the heart. The book points us forward to the need for the new covenant which would renovate the human heart as prophesied by Jeremiah (ch 31) and Ezekiel (ch 36).

Luke-Act III: On the Road with Jesus

Luke ACT 3, Introducing Jesus

At the end of Luke 9, things change. Jesus decides it is time to walk to Jerusalem where he knows he will die. He knows his mission: to seek and save the lost. That means giving everything for the ones he loves. In Luke 10-13, Jesus goes on the road with his disciples. As he walks … he teaches us about and anxiety and the signs of the times. Have you ever spent time Jesus? This is your opportunity to come to him and cast all you fears and worry and doubts at his feet. Listen to to his voice … on the road.  

“On the road,” is a key theme in this section. Jesus makes the turn for Jerusalem with his disciples. He walks and walks and teaches them. Images of a journey of faith should be prevalent on the stage.

Easter Service 2024

Luke ACT 3, Easter Sunday

In a world filled with chaos and confusion, Easter is an oasis of hope. Easter captures our hearts and points us toward the future. The Gospel of Luke spends much of its time leading to the Cross of Jesus Christ. What happens after the cross? Resurrection. On Easter Sunday we are going what the Emmaus road with Jesus in Luke 24 and ask some key questions: what does it look like for Jesus to interrupt our daily lives? How can we stop and listen to his healing voice? Can a relationship with Jesus transform us into passionate followers who want to impact the world? Luke 24:13-35 answers all these questions … and more. Join us, Easter Sunday, as we continue on the road with Jesus—it is a path that will change your life.”

“On the road,” is a key theme in this section. Jesus makes the turn for Jerusalem with his disciples. He walks and walks and teaches them. Images of a journey of faith should be prevalent on the stage.
