Mercy for the margins
Luke 18:15-17 | Sun, Sep 17, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz
Share
In Luke 18, Jesus is spotlighting the underdogs in his stories. In verses 15-17 Jesus is bringing kids into the picture. These days we often worship kids, we put them on a pedestal or even spoil them, but back in the day kids were treated like property with no rights. But there is more to this story, the gospel nudges us here to realize that we all start as newborns in our journey with Jesus.

Enter Into Mercy Through His Rest
Luke 6:1-5 | Sun, Jul 19, 2020 | Pastor Ken Schultz

When Jesus hits send
Luke 24:45-53 | Sun, Aug 31, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Jesus “hits send” on His followers—ordinary, unpolished people—and commissions them to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations. He empowers them through the Holy Spirit, opening their understanding of Scripture so they grasp God’s redemptive mission. The message challenges believers to embrace their missionary identity now, trusting in God’s power rather than human adequacy.

Proof of Life

This message, recounts Luke 24:36–47, where the resurrected Jesus appears to his fearful disciples and offers tangible proof—His wounds and eating food—that He is alive. Jesus’s bodily resurrection is God’s definitive evidence of life, bringing peace, purpose, and confidence even amid doubt and fear

The Greatest Bible study ever
Luke 24:13-34 | Sun, Aug 17, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, Pastor Ken emphasizes that the ultimate Bible study happens when Jesus Himself leads us through Scripture—as He did for the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—bringing clarity, conviction, and joy.

Discover Hope
Luke 24:1-11 | Sun, Aug 03, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message centers on the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation of living hope, contrasting it with superficial hopes rooted in money, health, reputation, or religion. It emphasizes that Jesus’ empty tomb is a historical fact that transcends cultural shifts and intellectual objections, giving believers unshakable confidence in God’s promises.

Sacred Pause
Luke 23:50-56 | Sun, Jun 29, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, the vital importance of Jesus’s burial is highlighted as the “sacred pause” between the crucifixion and the resurrection — not a minor detail but an essential part of the gospel. The burial confirms that Jesus truly died, fulfills Old Testament prophecy, and embodies the Sabbath rest that points to our ultimate rest in Him.

Darkness Defeated
Luke 23:44-49 | Sun, Jun 22, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The message "Darkness Defeated" explores the crucifixion of Jesus in Luke 23:44–49, emphasizing that His death was not just a tragic event, but a victorious fulfillment of God's promise to defeat sin, death, and the devil. Through supernatural darkness and the tearing of the temple curtain, God demonstrated that Jesus was the only one who could reconcile us to Himself.

Last Words Matter
Luke 23:39-43 | Sun, Jun 01, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Are you mourning?
Luke 23:26-31 | Sun, May 18, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores the spiritual significance of mourning—not just for loss through death, but also the many forms of loss we experience in life. Jesus’ words to the mourning women on the road to the cross invite us to reflect on what we grieve and whether we are truly paying attention to our sorrow.
