In Luke 11:37-44, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for focusing on outward appearances while neglecting the condition of their hearts. The text provides a stern warning against hypocrisy, and calls us to authentic holiness where our actions match our hearts. This sermon challenges us to ask, “Who is the real me?”—the person God truly sees beneath the surface.

In this message from Luke 11, we explore what it really means to pray as Jesus taught His disciples. Prayer isn’t about reciting words or earning God’s favor—it’s about aligning our hearts with His will. From “Father, hallowed be your name” to “lead us not into temptation,” Jesus gives us a framework for prayer that transforms how we relate to God and how we live each day.

In Luke 10:1–12, Jesus sends out seventy-two followers to proclaim the coming of God’s kingdom. He reveals that the harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few, underscoring the urgency of the mission. Jesus makes it clear that this work will not be easy—it demands sacrifice, wholehearted obedience, and total dependence on Him.

Following Jesus requires far more than casual belief—it demands self-denial, sacrifice, and complete surrender. In Luke 9, Jesus warns and instructs his potential followers what true discipleship entails. Though the call is demanding and often difficult, it is the path to true and lasting life. 

In Luke 8:4–15, Jesus uses the parable of the sower to reveal the different ways people respond to His gospel. It serves as both a warning to hardened hearts and an encouragement to those who are open to believe. In this sermon, Pastor Paul invites listeners to reflect on a personal question: What will I do with the gospel?

How do you view your own sin? Do you reflect and look to others, or are you broken over the realities of your sin?

Founders Day has historically been a time to celebrate the church’s heritage and give toward special projects. Research into FBC’s history—particularly through John C. Huffman’s 1955 reflections—reveals that the church has consistently prioritized the Great Commission. Join pastor Paul as he explores how the past should inform how we are to give, go, and live so that God’s glory is known among all nations.

The way we live flows from our deepest beliefs. Therefore, our understanding of Jesus shapes who we are. In today’s text, we are presented with two portraits of Jesus, and the one we embrace will determine who we become. Join Pastor Paul as he unpacks this powerful story from Luke 7:11–17.

In Luke 6:27–36, Jesus calls His followers to live by the values of God’s kingdom, which often feel unreasonable compared to the world’s ways. Instead of retaliation or self-protection, He commands love in the face of persecution. These principles were radical for first-century Christians and they remain just as challenging for believers today. Join Pastor Paul as he unpacks what it means to walk in obedience to the “unreasonable” ways of God.

In Luke 6:1-11, Jesus declares Himself “lord of the Sabbath,” showing that He fulfills the Sabbath as the reality behind its shadow. But what does this mean about the Sabbath for us today? Is it wrong to work on Sundays? Can we mow our lawns on Sunday? Should Chick-fil-A be closed on Sundays? Join Pastor Paul as he unpacks these questions and explores the reality of true rest in Christ.
