Laboring for the Cause of Christ, 2/18/24

In today's message, Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 10:1-20, where Jesus, the Lord of the Harvest, commissions 72 of His followers to labor for the cause of the Kingdom.  Before the passage concludes, we learn that our greatest reason for rejoicing is that our names are written in heaven because of the redemptive work of Jesus.

Gospel Attitude Adjustments

Gospel Attitude Adjustments

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 9:49-56 and encourages us to observe the religious and moral superiority present in the passage. Where might we be holding onto similar attitudes or thinking?

A Call to Humility and Proper Gospel Grasping, 1/28/23

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 9:46-48 as he encourages us to consider that we often grasp for worldly things instead of gospel things. What are those things we should grasp? We should grasp our weakness and sinfulness and Jesus Christ, the One who grasps ahold of us. We should remember that Jesus once grasped onto a cross, He refused to grasp that which He deserved, and He instead chose to serve and give His life as a ransom for many.

The Profitable Life, 11/26/23

The Profitable Life, 11/26/23

Pastor Darrell encouraged us today with God's Word from Luke 9:23-27. In this passage, the Lord says that whoever loses his life for His sake will actually save it. Just as the Lord laid down His life to save ours, we are called to lay down our own fleshly desires and the things of this world to follow where the Lord leads us and to do what He commands.

Nov 26, 202324:28
A Question of Identity, 11/19/23

A Question of Identity, 11/19/23

In our passage today, Jesus asks the most important question that will be asked of every one of us, "Who do you say that I am?" Luke 9:18-20 reveals that Jesus is God's Messiah.

Let Your Light Shine, 11/12/23

Let Your Light Shine, 11/12/23

David Barnes, guest preacher and Reformed University Fellowship Mizzou pastor encouraged us with God's Word from Matthew 5:13-16.

The God Who Provides and Satisfies, 11/5/23

The God Who Provides and Satisfies, 11/5/23

Pastor Darrell preaches on Luke 9:10-17. In this passage, we are reminded that Jesus is the miracle-working God who provides for and satisfies the needs of His people. He didn't come (primarily) to give bread, but to be the bread of life.

Nov 06, 202326:18
Haunted by Guilt, 10/15/23

Haunted by Guilt, 10/15/23

In today's sermon, King Herod is perplexed by reports of a holy man doing miracles in Galilee. Could it be that John the Baptist has come back from the dead?  Such a thought causes Herod to be "haunted by guilt" over his earlier murder of John. Pastor Darrell speaks to us today also about "The Finished Work of Christ" and explains how, because of what Christ accomplished on the cross, the Christian need never again feel "haunted by guilt" over our sin.

Oct 16, 202322:53
Apostolic Power and Authority, 10/8/23

Apostolic Power and Authority, 10/8/23

For the past several messages, Pastor Darrell has helped us to see that Jesus is the Son of God who has great power and authority. In our passage today, Jesus gives power and authority to His apostles inviting them to join Him in the proclamation and expansion of the Kingdom of God.

Oct 08, 202327:53
Jesus: The Powerful One in Whom We are to Believe

Jesus: The Powerful One in Whom We are to Believe

Because Jesus is the Son of God, He has great power and authority. The proper response to this is to turn to Him in times of desperation just as we see others do in this passage.

Who is This? 9/10/23

Who is This? 9/10/23

In Luke 8:22-25 we see the realities of who Jesus is.

He's the God who occasionally may lead us into a storm, who is with us in the storm (even when it doesn't seem like it), who is in control of the storm, who intends to build your faith and trust while you're in the storm, and who is able to deliver you from the storm.

Be encouraged to exercise your faith in the storms of life.

Sep 10, 202333:21
The Enlightened Family of God, 9/3/23

The Enlightened Family of God, 9/3/23

In Luke 8:16-21 we are encouraged to remember that the light given to us should impact the world around us. In order to offer that, we must have a close, familial relationship with the Lord. This hinges on hearing and responding to what He tells us in His Word.

Extravagant and Shameless Adoration - Our Proper Response of Faith to the Lord

In Luke 7:36-50, we see a woman who worshiped Jesus publically, intimately, shamelessly, and extravagantly. She shows us a proper response to Him and we are challenged to ask ourselves whether or not we are giving Jesus the worship He deserves.

Aug 14, 202331:12
When Doubt Comes Knocking, 8/6/23

When Doubt Comes Knocking, 8/6/23

As we look at the account in Luke 7:18-35 of John the Baptist sending disciples to ask about Jesus' identity, we are reminded of God's grace for those who doubt or ask questions. We can be confident that when we go to Jesus and His Word with our questions, He will show Himself to us.

The Case of the Mystifying Miracles, 7/16/23

Jesus is the Bread of Life, Lord over nature, the light of the world, victor over sin and Satan, and the resurrection and the life. This is what we learned about Jesus at Vacation Bible School last week as we looked closely at some of His miracles. Be encouraged to entrust yourself fully to Him.

Jul 17, 202328:06
The Fruit of Christlikeness, 6/25/23

The Fruit of Christlikeness, 6/25/23

In Luke 6:39-45 we see that our choice of teachers is important. The student, when fully trained, will be like his or her teacher. We will produce similar fruit to what our teacher produces. Be encouraged to fix your heart on Jesus, abide in Him, and avail yourself of all of His teachings, being fully trained by Him.

Jun 26, 202327:20
Judge Not, 6/18/23

Judge Not, 6/18/23

This sermon is focused on Jesus's command in Luke 6:37-42 to not judge others. It's here and in other passages that we can see that Jesus desires for us to not judge like the hypocritical Pharisees. We are called to recognize our own law-breaking in order to rightly confront others in a spirit of humility, and gentleness, and with the right motivation to restore.

Jun 20, 202330:02
Callings of the Christian, 6/11/23

Callings of the Christian, 6/11/23

In Luke 6:27-36 we see Christ's radical callings for His kingdom representatives. We can have great hope as we seek to live out this calling because it is part of our identity as ones who’ve been redeemed by God and we are enabled by the Holy Spirit to do all that we are called to do.


Jun 12, 202334:12
Blessed are the Hated, 6/4/23

Blessed are the Hated, 6/4/23

Jesus says in Luke 6:22-23 that we are blessed when we are hated on account of Him. He even says we should rejoice because our reward is great in heaven. This can be a hard word to grasp, but God's Word encourages us to open our hearts to how we can practically live out this call to rejoice when hated. We can look to Jesus's example and remember the truths of our realities as God's adopted children. In considering persecution, we can also be encouraged to consider our own witness for Christ.

Jun 05, 202331:53
The Spirit of Christ, Given to His Church, 5/28/23

The Spirit of Christ, Given to His Church, 5/28/23

In Acts 2:1-47 we learn that the day of Pentecost was a specific event in redemptive history that was Christ-focused, declaring the coronation of Jesus as King that also opened new access into the presence of God and fresh empowerment for the people of God. With all these truths and more, be encouraged to submit to, obey, worship, embrace, and love Jesus while seeking to live in the power of the Spirit.

May 29, 202330:45
The God Who Redeems All Things, 5/21/23

The God Who Redeems All Things, 5/21/23

As we continue to look at the beatitudes in Luke 6:21, 25, we are reminded that our God is greater than all the reasons for our sorrow. He will redeem all. He is the God of redemption and He works all things for good.

May 22, 202328:18
The Beatitudes: When Poverty is a Blessing, 5/14/23

The Beatitudes: When Poverty is a Blessing, 5/14/23

In Luke 6:17-24, we see that those who have chosen to follow Jesus over material wealth will be blessed. If Jesus became poor so that we might become rich, how much more then, should we choose the Kingdom of God over the things of this world?

May 15, 202326:04
The Twelve and the Troubling Traitor, 5/7/23

The Twelve and the Troubling Traitor, 5/7/23

As we look at the lives of the twelve apostles mentioned in Luke 6:12-16, we are reminded of God's faithfulness to us. Jesus has fully given of Himself to us, are we giving ourselves fully to Him?

May 08, 202326:01
The Twelve, 4/30/23

The Twelve, 4/30/23

In Luke 6:12-16, we see the record of when Jesus chose His twelve apostles. It's good to consider the lives and ministries of the apostles since we are told in God's Word that our faith, "...is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets..." (Ephesians 2:20). Be encouraged in your own calling and commission by Christ to go and be His representatives.

May 01, 202328:23
Jesus Christ is Lord! 4/23/22

Our Willing Savior, 4/16/23

Our Willing Savior, 4/16/23

In Mark 5:12-16, we see that Jesus gives hope to the hopeless. We can confidently ask Him for healing and deliverance because He is willing and able to bring wholeness to our lives. When we respond in trust no matter what His way or timing is, God is glorified.

Apr 16, 202329:48
The Resurrection of Jesus: Not a Matter of Blind Faith

The Resurrection of Jesus: Not a Matter of Blind Faith

As we look at Matthew 28:1-10 we can see that Jesus' resurrection is not a matter of blind faith, but a verifiable truth. The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed!

In this familiar passage (Luke 5:17-26) of Jesus healing the paralytic, Jesus demonstrates that He is the One who comes with amazing power and authority from on high.

Apr 03, 202331:33
Fasting and Feasting; Old and New, 3/26/23

Fasting and Feasting; Old and New, 3/26/23

In Luke 5:33-39 Jesus teaches us about feasting and fasting. He is proclaiming the Kingdom of God, a new thing, is at hand. This new thing can't be fit into old ways of living. With His coming, nothing will ever be the same again. Are you still trying to fit Jesus into old, worldly ways? In Christ, we are part of a new creation; be encouraged to fully embrace Him.

Mar 27, 202331:46
Come and See, 3/19/23

Come and See, 3/19/23

In Luke 5:27-32, Jesus shows us what it looks like to love people we may be tempted to walk away from and Levi shows us the high cost of following Jesus. Be encouraged to be people who love others, calling them to "come and see" the wonderful ways of the Lord.

Mar 19, 202335:31
The Callings of the Christian Life, 3/13/23

The Callings of the Christian Life, 3/13/23

As we look at Luke 5:1-11 we can see many of the greatest callings of the Christian life. This passage is summed up well by John Piper who said, "By Jesus' power and authority, multitudes of people will be caught for eternal kingdom blessings by the followers of Jesus who teach the Word of God; obey the commands of Jesus; humble themselves; and treasure Christ above all."

Mar 13, 202338:54
Jesus Christ, the Holy One of God, Who Comes with Astonishing Authority, 3/5/23

Jesus Christ, the Holy One of God, Who Comes with Astonishing Authority, 3/5/23

In Luke 4:31-44 we see that Jesus has complete authority. People respond with astonishment and demons and illnesses obey Him. Be encouraged to also joyfully submit to His kingship as you marvel at and are moved by His power and authority.

Mar 05, 202330:54
And So It Begins, 2/26/23

And So It Begins, 2/26/23

In Luke 4:14-32 we see Jesus publically proclaim that He is the fulfillment of Isaiah 61. The people who heard Him rejected Him. Be encouraged to embrace our faithful Lord every moment of every day.

Feb 27, 202331:44
Faithfulness in the Face of Temptation, 2/19/22

Faithfulness in the Face of Temptation, 2/19/22

We see in Luke 4:1-13 that Jesus was faced with temptation in the wilderness when He was most vulnerable - during great weakness, hunger, and loneliness. When are you most vulnerable to temptation? Christ was victorious over every one of Satan's temptations and His victory over sin empowers our victory over sin. Because He was faithful in the wilderness - and always - He is able to be our Redeemer and our Lord. He is worthy to be worshiped and served always!
