Get Used to Different

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 5:27-39

The Village Chapel - 09/29/2024

Any list of the utterly astonishing things about Jesus of Nazareth must include His uniquely authoritative teachings and mind-boggling miracles, especially His resurrection from the dead three days after His very public death on a Roman cross.

But another surprising aspect of Jesus has to be His somewhat puzzling choice of disciples. Given what we know about a few of them, one has to wonder why He chose them, how they could possibly work together, and how, through those unlikely followers, Jesus started a movement that changed the course of world history.

Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through the account of Jesus calling a tax-collector named Levi to become one of His disciples. That shocking choice would reveal how both the religious establishment and even those who were irreligious would all need to get used to “different” because of Jesus!

The Rightside Up

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 5:12-26

The Village Chapel - 09/22/2024

What happens when Jesus comes face to face with two men whose lives have been turned upside down by disease and brokenness? How does he respond to them? How does he respond to us when we come to him with our brokenness? Join Pastor Matt as he teaches from Luke chapter 5, and we learn about living in the "Rightside Up."

From Now On

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 5:1-11

The Village Chapel - 09/15/2024

Luke chapter 5 opens with an ordinary scene on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd had gathered to listen to the teaching of Jesus as Simon Peter and his team brought their boats ashore after an unproductive night of fishing. Noticing their arrival, Jesus asks to borrow one of the boats so that He might be heard more effectively from the water.

In the middle of the day, as He finished teaching, Jesus turned His attention toward Peter and told him to return to the lake to fish again. As an experienced fish merchant, Peter was skeptical of this request, yet he obeyed the word of Jesus. After the weary fisherman cast the nets again, they could not contain the catch. They were astonished, not primarily by the large catch of fish, but by the power, authority and holiness of Jesus.

Join Pastor Tommy as we look more closely at how Jesus pursues and calls people to follow Him.

How It All Began…

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 4:14-44

The Village Chapel - 09/08/2024

After the baptism and the temptation of Jesus, we find Him traveling back to His hometown of Nazareth. While there, Jesus made some rather audacious claims in the synagogue and the reception Jesus got was not all “peaches and cream.” As a matter of fact, it ended with Jesus being driven out of town, and the people even attempted to throw Him off a cliff.

Jesus then moved on to Capernaum. While teaching in the synagogue on the Sabbath, He was interrupted by a demon-possessed man who made startling accusations. How did Jesus respond?

Luke summarizes the reaction of the crowds by saying, “amazement came upon them all.”

Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through the early months of Jesus’ public ministry and how it all began.

The Temptation of Christ

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 4:1-13

The Village Chapel - 09/01/2024

We’ve all felt it’s powerful tug from time to time… but just what is temptation and where does it come from? Is being tempted to sin the same thing as committing a sin?

Why do you think God even allows temptation? And is resistance futile? Or, do we have some tools and some truths we can count on that will help us resist temptation?

In Luke 4:1-13 we read about the temptation of Jesus out in the desert-like wilderness of Judea and it gets recorded in all 3 synoptic Gospel records in the NT. What was so important about the temptation of Christ? And what does the temptation of Christ mean for those of us who are believers and followers of Jesus?

For answers to these and other questions, let's study Luke 4:1-13 together!

Turning and Returning to God

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 3

The Village Chapel - 08/25/2024

What does a repentant life look like? Do we say we’re sorry, ask forgiveness, and then move on? Is repentance a one-and-done kind of deal? How can we say we’re following Jesus when we continue to mess up? In Luke Chapter 3, we meet up with John the Baptist, preaching and baptizing for the repentance of sins, all to prepare the way for the beginning of the public ministry of Jesus. Join Pastor Matt as he teaches through Luke chapter 3, focusing on the mission of John in his ministry, the purpose of Jesus in his ministry, and what a repentant life looks like.

The Turn of the Tide

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 2

The Village Chapel - 08/18/2024

Have you ever felt like the tide was coming in and rising all around you? Have you ever wondered if the culture we live in is drowning in darkness and confused about the meaning and purpose of life? And perhaps most importantly, have you wondered where God is in all of this? Is God aware and does He care about all that is going on in the world and in your world?

Join Pastor Jim as he leads us through the well known passage of Luke 2. Whether you are familiar with this story or not, we’ll read three short vignettes about the early years in the earthly life of Jesus and we’ll be comforted to see how the God of the Bible is the One who turns the tide as He speaks, has spoken and continues to speak words of hope, redemption and salvation!

The God Who Remembers

The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 1

The Village Chapel - 08/11/2024

The Gospel According to Luke was written so that we might know with certainty who Jesus is (1:1-4). Luke doesn't begin his account directly with the birth of Jesus; instead, he starts with the story of a childless couple named Zechariah and Elizabeth, set in a dark season in the life of God's people.

Join Pastor Tommy as we begin our study of Luke, giving our attention to the ways God works in history and households to accomplish his purposes.
