JLP.church Sermon Podcast Pastor Luke Jones

Christians are acutely aware (most of us) how far we are from being like Christ. Maybe we struggle to be better, and maybe we don’t. Do you think people like that belong in church? Why or why not? Pastor Luke teaches from Genesis 28:10-22 in "Heaven's Gate," part 2 of his 6-part series, "Stairway to Heaven."

Some people like us a lot, but others like us not-so-much. Even within families, parents sometimes have favorites. Is God like that? Are some people his favorites, while he doesn't like others? Pastor Luke looks at Genesis 25:19-34 in "Stirring Up Trouble," the first message in a new series, "Stairway to Heaven."

Christians affirm that all things are possible with God, but sometimes we've heard it so much we forget that it's true. God gave the prophet Ezekiel a vision so vivid it's almost impossible to forget. Pastor Luke preaches from Ezekiel 37:1-14 in "You Will Live Again."

We've been talking about how Christ's Resurrection changes people from the inside out. But that means other people can't tell it's happening, and sometimes they say that Resurrection is "pie in the sky" or wish-fulfillment. But pie in the sky might be better than you think. Pastor Luke preaches from 1 Corinthians 15:19-58 in "Stay the Course," the concluding message in his series, "Reinvigorated."

The Christian faith states that through his Resurrection, Jesus gives us protection from our enemies. But even in New Testament times, people like Paul and James were harmed and sometimes killed by their enemies. What kind of protection are we talking about? Pastor Luke teaches from Acts 18:1-11 in "None Will Harm," part 4 of his 5-part series, "Reinvigorated."
