Luke 24:36-53
Rev. Charlie Phillips
It’s hard to believe that after 21 months we will finally conclude our series on the Gospel of Luke this Sunday. Not surprisingly, Luke ends his Gospel with a detailed account of the extraordinary grace of Christ…topped off with an incredible blessing to boot. Join us this week for one last glimpse into the life of Jesus through the lens of the beloved physician and evangelist, Luke.
Luke 24:13-35
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Some of the best conversations in life happen on the road…when the past is in the rearview and the future lies ahead. There’s just something about the journey that creates special fellowship and depth of thought and interaction. Not surprisingly Jesus was quite the conversationalist on the road. Join us this Sunday as we encounter perhaps the greatest conversation ever to take place on the journey.
Luke 24:1-12
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Looking back in my life I can actually remember a season when I wished I was an elephant (not kidding…I even wrote a poem about it:) Why an elephant, you ask? Because an elephant never forgets, and my memory during that season was cloudy to the things of the Lord. Join us this Sunday as we learn how our memory relates to our walk with God as we study the resurrection of our Savior.
It’s estimated that roughly 20,000 people or one percent of the prison population were wrongfully convicted. It’s a frightening thing to think that an innocent person could be sentenced to prison. But it’s even more unthinkable that a perfectly sinless person could be condemned—not to prison—but to death. This Sunday we begin the trial of Jesus by the Jewish and Roman courts—legal proceedings completely devoid of justice. Join us as we enter the last few hours of Jesus’ life.
Luke 22:54-62
Rev. Charlie Phillips
This Sunday as we steadily approach the crucifixion we’ll study Peter’s three-fold denial of Jesus. As you prepare for Sunday ask yourself these questions—“What is my attitude towards sin? How susceptible am I to the wiles of sin? How far am I from committing a grievous sin like Peter’s?” Alongside these questions ask yourself this—“How powerful is grace? What can/will grace do for me when I’m at my lowest?” Join us this Sunday as we study the effects of sin and grace.
" The Kiss of Death"
Luke 22:47-53
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Join us this Sunday we continue our journey through the incredible last few days of Jesus’ life. This week we’ll study the ultimate betrayal—the night when our Savior was backstabbed by one of His own, and not just by any means but by a symbol of love and affection. It’s a remarkable story and applies to our lives in numerous ways. See you then!
Luke 22:39-46
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Every scene during the last week of Jesus’ life is incredibly important, but few demand such reverence as that of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. During this dark night we encounter Christ pleading before the Father amidst a pain we can never fully understand. Join us this Sunday as we study the way Jesus deals with pain and temptation.
Luke 22:14-23
Rev. Charlie Phillips
Recently a few of the students in our communicants class expressed that they couldn’t wait to take their first Communion. I must confess that I felt convicted because if I’m to be honest I don’t always look forward to Communion Sundays with such enthusiasm. But I should! The truth is that if we as believers understand what the Lord’s Supper is all about we ought to approach each Communion Sunday with the anticipation of experiencing the grace of Christ in a unique way. Join us this Sunday as we dive into the meaning and beauty of the Lord’s Supper.
