Luke 11:14-28 · Exodus 8:19
The Finger of God

Luke 22:31-46
The Garden
This sermon contrasts Jesus's humble, prayerful preparation for the cross with the disciples' arrogant confidence, showing that true readiness depends on dependence on God's strength, not our own.

Two Masters
This sermon examines Jesus's parable of the dishonest manager to teach that shrewd thinking about the future should drive generosity in the present. True disciples invest resources in God's kingdom, not in selfish gain.

What Has Jesus Done?
One act of Jesus—healing a demon-possessed man—produces two opposite responses: the healed man embraces faith and follows Jesus, while the townspeople reject him out of fear. The sermon explores how our reaction to Jesus reveals who we are and calls believers to share their own stories of what Jesus has done.
Luke 1:1-25 · Deuteronomy 18
