Introduction This week we are going to talk about faith. Faith is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the church today... and It is even more of a confusing concept in the culture. == Faith is not wishful thinking.

Luke 8:26-56

Introduction What is a parable? If you have been in church for a while, you probably know that a parable is a story. It’s a story that teaches a truth in a really memorable way.

Luke 8:1-15

Introduction We are going to see an episode in the life of Christ today that we could pass over pretty quickly, but...

Luke 7.11-50

Introduction Good Morning! Business Meeting in 2 weeks.

Luke 8:16-25

Introduction Good morning. This is going to be a tough sermon this morning. Some of the sermons in Daniel were tough because the passages took a lot of study and then I had to figure out how to relay to you what I learned clearly and within the time frame. This is hard in a completely different way.…

Luke 6:20-42

Introduction Last week we saw the temptation of Jesus by Satan in the wilderness. We saw that while Jesus was hungry, isolated, and weak in the flesh he still overcame Satan.

Luke 4:14-44

Today we are going to look at the temptation of Jesus.
