‘But what about you?’ Jesus asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’ (Luke 9:20, NIV)
This is the single most important question that has ever been asked, or could ever be asked. Who do you say Jesus is? How we answer that one question has the greatest impact on the whole of our lives. Who do you say Jesus us? You'd be really welcome to find out more, in our services this Sunday.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. (Luke 9:16-17, NIV)
As we continue in Luke's Gospel, we arrive at one of the most well-known miracles in the Bible: the feeding of the five thousand. What does it tell us about Jesus? Why not come along on Sunday morning and find out more?
When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal those who were ill. (Luke 9:1-2, NIV)
There is a change in how people hear and know about Jesus. Previously, the people came to Jesus, now he sends out his disciples to proclaim the kingdom of God. The message goes out so that everyone can hear and believe. Why not join us on Sunday we do what the disciples did - proclaiming the kingdom of God.
Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, ‘Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.’ (Luke 8:50, NIV)
We meet a number of people in need, in this week's passage from Luke. Jesus' responses to them might seem unexpected, possibly uncaring and uncompassionate. What is it that Jesus is doing? How does it help us? Who does it tell us Jesus is, and what he is concerned about. Why not come along this Sunday and find out more?
a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel. (Luke 2:32, NIV)
We're taking a step back in Luke this week, as we read what happened the week after Jesus was born. He is taken to the temple, where a man named Simeon has been waiting for him - possible for years. The words he says point something that was long-promised, and would bring something amazing for the whole world. Why not join us this Sunday morning, as we see what that means for us.
