Luke 6:20-26

Through a series of four blessings and corresponding woes, Jesus calls His followers to embrace kingdom values that turn the world’s value system upside down, where apparent earthly losses can become eternal gains.

Luke 6:20-26

The keys to a full, satisfied, happy, joyful life are not what we often think they are. What Jesus says are the keys to happiness are, in fact, just the opposite of what the world tells us. His’ is an upside-down kingdom that, when pursued, offers the most satisfactory life possible!

Luke 6:20-26

God does not see things the way we do, because He does not look at what the world values. What we often prize, He does not. While the world focuses on outward appearance, God looks at the heart. In Jesus, we see a complete inversion of the world’s perspective, because the values of heaven are fundamentally different from the values of this world.

Luke 6:12-19

Have you ever felt totally inadequate for a task God was calling you to? In Luke 6:12-19, Jesus calls twelve of his disciples to be his apostles. These weren’t the most educated, sophisticated men, and yet God built his church initially through this group. This text encourages us to answer Jesus’ call to live as people sent on mission, depending at every moment on Christ’s great power.

Luke 6:12-19

Apart from His decision to go to the cross, Jesus’ choice of who would be His apostles is perhaps the most consequential decision of His earthly ministry. These twelve men would go on to establish the church as we know it and plant the seeds that would carry Jesus’ mission forward.

Luke 6:12-19

SynopsisThe event surrounding Jesus selecting 12 Apostles reveals an invitation to deeper discipleship. Jesus embraces us where we’re at but calls us to deeper intimacy, faith, and effectiveness.

Luke 5:33 - 6:11

In this sermon, we explore Jesus’ confrontation with the Pharisees in Luke 5:33–6:11 and reveals how easily religious traditions can become barriers to experiencing the transforming work of God. Through stories about fasting, wineskins, the Sabbath, and the healing of a man with a withered hand, Jesus challenges a system that prioritized outward performance over inward transformation.

Luke 5:33-6:11

When legalism replaces the way of Jesus, a lack of love and concern for others results, and people’s needs for forgiveness, for daily provision, and for healing, are overlooked.
