Gideon Summer, Part 3: Bold Moves // Mike Weaver
St. Luke Columbus Sermon Podcast
Gideon, the mighty reluctant warrior, acts. He’s commanded by God to do something that frightens Gideon, “Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it” (Judges 6:25). Sometimes, the first boldest move God asks us to do isn’t feeding 5000, it is internal, as we self-differentiate ourselves from our families and friends to become the people God asks us to be.

Gideon Summer, Part 2: From Weakness to Strength // Mike Weaver
St. Luke Columbus Sermon Podcast
Throughout Biblical history, God calls unqualified, ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

This week in this series, A Gideon Summer, we come to grips with our own weaknesses as we assess where God is calling us to face the challenges around us. We may be, like Gideon, reluctant warriors, but we are warriors nonetheless. Subscribe to stay updated...

Jesus Self-Defined, Part 6: I am the Vine // Steve Brown
St. Luke Columbus Sermon Podcast
From the time that Jesus walked the earth, people have tried to define Jesus. What if we let Jesus define himself? Jesus once said, “I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.” (John 8:18) The Gospel of John records seven statements that Jesus made about himself, all beginning with “I am …” Using these statements and other related Bible passages, we will seek to learn how Jesus defined himself. Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” What does that mean for the life of a branch (you, me)? Subscribe to stay updated...
