Have you considered the way Jesus described being His disciple? Salvation is free to receive but will cost you everything to live it out. There is no such thing as cheap grace...only disciples who refused to pay the cost.

The people of Israel had turned away from God. Samuel told them to return to God with all their hearts, throw away their idols, and serve only Him. When they did, God helped them win a big battle against their enemies. They set up a special stone called “Ebenezer” to remember that God helped them. Later, the people demanded a king like other nations. God warned them it was a mistake, but they still wanted one. So...

**Pentecost 2026 Sermon Summary** This Pentecost message connects the Old Testament feasts to Jesus’ work: Passover (His death), First Fruits (His resurrection), and the Feast of Weeks/Pentecost (the coming of the Holy Spirit and the beginning of the Church harvest). It emphasizes that the true purpose of Pentecost and the Church is soul harvest — empowered by the Holy Spirit to reach people with the Gospel. The ...

In Luke 14:12-24, Jesus teaches true hospitality and humility at a Pharisee’s dinner. Instead of inviting people who can repay you, invite the poor, crippled, lame, and blind — you will be rewarded at the resurrection. The Parable of the Great Banquet shows many reject God’s invitation with lame excuses, so the invitation goes to outsiders. Jesus warns that the originally invited (Israel) will miss the kingdom wh...

This Mother’s Day sermon from Luke 14:1-11 contrasts the pride and self-exaltation of the Pharisees with the humility Jesus teaches. Using the healing on the Sabbath and the parable of choosing seats at a wedding feast, the message warns that pride leads to destruction while humility brings honor. It calls believers to put others first — just as Jesus did on the cross — and make Him the center of their lives.

First Samuel 2: Hannah offers a powerful prayer of praise, rejoicing in God’s reversal of her situation and subtly shading her rival Peninnah. She celebrates God’s holiness, sovereignty, and justice. Meanwhile, Eli’s sons Hophni and Phinehas corrupt the priesthood by greedily taking offerings by force and committing immorality. Eli weakly rebukes them but fails to stop the evil. God sends a prophet to pron...

The first chapter of 1 Samuel introduces a difficult time in Israel’s history through the story of Hannah. Elkanah, from the hill country of Ephraim, had two wives: Peninnah, who had children, and Hannah, who was barren. Every year the family went to Shiloh to worship, where Peninnah cruelly mocked Hannah for not having children. Deeply distressed, Hannah prayed bitterly at the tabernacle and made a vow: if God gave her a son...

- **The Kingdom of God is Radical Transformation**: Jesus compares it to a tiny mustard seed that grows into a great tree and to leaven that permeates all the dough — an invasive, irresistible change worked by the Holy Spirit when Jesus rules in a person’s life. - **Enter Through the Narrow Door**: Jesus urges us to “strive” (agonize with intention and intensity) to enter the narrow door, which is Christ ...

Why do bad things happen to people? In Luke 13, some people told Jesus about bad events. Roman soldiers had killed some Galileans while they were worshiping. Another time, a tower in Siloam fell and killed 18 people. The crowd wondered if these people were worse sinners and were being punished by God. Jesus said no. Bad things can happen to anyone in our broken world. We never know when our life might end. His clear message was:...
