In this sermon Jesus asks his disciples the crucial question: Who do you say I am? We are asked a follow-up question: How is he making you different? This sermon is based on Luke 9:18-27.

In this sermon we are challenged to leave space in our lives for God to interrupt us and to consider what we have to offer God in faith, like the disciples offered their pittance of 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish to feed 5,000+ people (Luke 9:10-17).

This sermon begins with two intertwined stories, both of which hi-light Jesus' healing power (Luke 8:40-56). We are offered hope that we can be made whole, restored to community, and restored to God because of Jesus and what he did on the cross and through his resurrection.

This sermon reminds us of Jesus' power over evil (Luke 8:26-39) and asks us to choose between clinging to the illusion of our control over ourselves and our world or surrendering ourselves and our lives to God's control, despite the cost of doing so.

This sermon explores the story of Jesus' power over the wind and waves when his and his disciples' lives were endangered by a sudden storm at sea (Luke 8:22-25). We are encouraged to receive the gift of faith from God that conquers fear.

In this sermon, Jesus declares that everyone who hears the Word and does it is his family (Luke 8:19-21). We are encouraged to consider our own experiences of family and how they shape our participation in the church as family.

In this sermon we are reminded that good stories require us to participate in creating meaning and challenges us to consider if we are content to passively listen to Jesus' teaching in Scripture or if we are willing to actively engage with his stories. (Luke 8:16-18)

In this sermon, we consider a story Jesus told about a farmer who sowed seed that landed on different kinds of ground, yielding different results (Luke 8:1-15). We are encouraged to reflect on our faith and to consider if our faith is planted in good soil so that it can produce good fruit.
