Luke 24: "Peace be with you"
406 Theology
Jesus finally appears to the disciples at the end of the day of His resurrection. The women who entered the tomb had already found it vacant, and the disciples on the road to Emmaus had already encountered the Lord. They raced back to the other apostles and disciples and had reported what had happened. Now, Luke records that Jesus himself appears in all their midst. He then leads the greatest Bible study they had ever encountered as they were finally able to understand from the Old Testament His life, death, and resurrection. Peace is found in Jesus, and this confidence they will need as they...

Luke 24: "The prophets witness, or On the road to Emmaus"
406 Theology
Luke records the first physical sighting of the resurrrected Jesus as being on the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. We know from other gospels that Jesus had appeard to Mary as she was leaving the tomb, (gospel of John), but Luke records the interaction between to disciples and Jesus as He explains the mystery of his death and resurrection from the Old Testament. This interpretation of the O.T. is vital for the church going forward as they follow Jesus and the church expands to all the corners of the earth.

Easter 2026: Luke 24:1-12, "He is risen, He is not here."
406 Theology
All gospel writers include the bodily death and resurrection of Jesus. Yet, all the gospel writers include certain details and timelines in order to communicate their purpose. Luke, for the first time in His gospel, does not include Jesus in this text but rather His disciples coming to the point of needing faith in order to follow. That is the question Luke poses to us, will we have faith given what we have been presented. He is indeed risen, but will that lead your heart to faith and obedience?

Luke 19 pt. 2: Palm Sunday, or The Noble Man returns
406 Theology
Jesus had previously told a parable of a noble man who went away and came back to his home to find some faithful servants and at least one unfaithful servant. Luke uses Jesus return to Jerusalem as a tangible illustration of this parable. In a sense the trip from the Mt. of Olives to Jerusalem shows us the noble King returning to find His servants either worshipping Him, or disgruntled. What kind of servants would He find? What kind of servants will He find when He returns again?

The Prodigal Son
406 Theology
Luke 15 records Jesus teaching three parables to two very different kinds of people. The first would be considered classic sinners, those who follow self fullfillment through hedonism and accumulation of wealth. The other were the religious types, who questioned why Jesus would meet with the previous types. Jesus then tells them how they are both far from the Father's house, but are both invited come to come home. What would it take for both of them? This is a sermon preached on what it really means to be loss, and seperated from the Fathers house.
info_outlineIn Luke 6 we Jesus preparing his apostles, along with other disciples, to live in the Kingdom of God. The ethical code, values, and culture of His Kingdom will be drastically different from any other kingdoms this world has. What can we learn to apply to our own lives today from what Jesus has to say? This sermon was preached at First Prestbyerian Church in Whitefish, MT.
