Kerith Encounter Podcast Kerith Community Church

Esther continues our "Lessons From Luke" series by looking at the story of the man who was forgiven and healed when he was lowered down through the roof of the house where Jesus was teaching. Finally, to see what we can learn from this story, she looks at Jesus' response to the paralysed man and then at the four men who faithfully brought him to Jesus.

Our guest speaker today is Michael Bentley. He speaks on the story of the lost son in Luke 15:11-32 saying that chapter 15 is actually 1 parable told in 3 parts where each of the stories illustrates the wonderful grace of God, speaking about something that has been lost and found again so causing great rejoicing.

As we head towards Easter, this week's Encounter meeting was a reflective communion service remembering Jesus and the cross. Esther looks at 2 phrases, "in remembrance of Me" and "to proclaim the Lord's death until He comes", which provide a foundation for why we do communion.

Esther continues our "Lessons From Luke" series by looking at chapter 5 verses 12-16 where Jesus was willing to meet the need of a man with leprosy and heal him. She looks at 3 things that Jesus was willing to do for this man which we can all relate to.
At the end she plays Willing To Heal by Don Francisco, which can be found on YouTube at https://youtu.be/5eRkhHdUCm4?si=S57sgX4FKfj5LShS

Our guest speaker today is Michael Bentley. He continues our "Lessons From Luke" series by looking at chapter 5 v1-11 where Jesus calls his first disciples. After teaching the people, Jesus tells Simon to put out into deep water and let down his nets. Even though they had caught absolutely nothing the night before, and Simon possibly thought it was a daft idea to fish during the day, he obeyed and was amazed at the enormous haul of fish that they caught.
