    Who is This? The Transfiguration, the Cross, and the Cost of Discipleship | Luke 9:28-36

    On Transfiguration Sunday, we explore Gospel of Luke 9:28–36 and the moment that answers the Gospel’s central question: Who is Jesus? As Peter, James, and John witness Christ in glory alongside Moses and Elijah, the voice from the cloud declares, “This is my Son—listen to Him.” But what does it mean to truly listen? This episode traces how the Transfiguration reveals Jesus not merely as a political Messiah, but as the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets—and the suffering Son who turns toward Jerusalem and the cross. As Lent begins, we reflect on cross-shaped discipleship, the downward path to glory, and what it means to take up our cross daily. How do we move from belief to obedience? What might we need to lay down—or take up—to follow Christ more faithfully? #Transfiguration#GospelOfLuke#WhoIsJesus#Lent#Discipleship#TakeUpYourCross#ChristianPodcast#BibleStudy#FollowJesus#SermonPodcast#CostOfDiscipleship#AshWednesday

    Saved, Healed, and Made Whole: What Jesus Really Means by Salvation

    In this video:Follow the Healer by Stephen Seamands: https://seedbed.com/follow-the-healer-landing-page/Pastor Bob's message, "Jesus the Healer:" https://youtu.be/snobgPPnTVYWhat if salvation is bigger than we’ve been taught? In this episode, we explore Luke’s powerful vision of healing as sozo—a salvation that restores body, mind, spirit, and relationships. Drawing from Luke 8 and stories like Jairus’ daughter and the woman who touched Jesus’ cloak, we unpack how Jesus’ healings were never just physical miracles, but acts of deep restoration—reuniting people with God, community, and themselves.This conversation challenges our post-Enlightenment tendency to reduce faith to intellectual agreement and invites us to rediscover desperation, asking, and embodied trust as the faith Jesus responds to. What happens when healing doesn’t come the way we expect? How do we live with hope in the “already and not yet” of God’s kingdom? Join us for a compelling discussion on wholeness, vulnerability, and the healing Jesus still offers today.#JesusTheHealer#Sozo#WholePersonHealing#ChristianPodcast#BibleStudyPodcast#GospelOfLuke#FaithAndHealing#ChristianTheology#Salvation#SpiritualFormation#HealingAndWholeness#AskingInFaith#KingdomOfGod

    Digging Deep: Why Shallow Faith Won't Survive What's Coming (Luke 6)

    In this episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Luke by exploring Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6)—a focused and demanding teaching aimed directly at disciples. Unlike Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount, Luke presents a sermon grounded in real suffering, opposition, and the cost of following Jesus.We unpack what it means to be blessed in poverty, hunger, grief, and rejection, why loving enemies is an act of strength rather than weakness, and how Jesus calls disciples to be a non-anxious presence in an anxious, polarized world. Drawing connections to Luke–Acts, spiritual formation, and daily discipleship, this conversation challenges shallow faith and invites us to dig deep, build on rock, and follow Jesus with courage and clarity.#GospelOfLuke#SermonOnThePlain#ChristianDiscipleship#BibleTeaching#EnemyLove#Beatitudes#SpiritualFormation#FaithInPolarizedTimes#JesusTeachings#NonAnxiousPresence#LukeActs#BuildingOnTheRock

    When Certainty Becomes the Enemy of Faith: Jesus vs. the Pharisees in Luke 5

    What if the greatest threat to faith isn’t doubt—but certainty?In this episode, we dive deep into Luke 5 and Jesus’ growing conflict with the Pharisees, exploring why religious certainty can blind us to what God is actually doing. Through the story of the paralyzed man lowered through the roof, Sabbath controversies, and a powerful metaphor of maps versus guides, we discover that faith is less about knowing the destination and more about trusting the One who walks with us. This conversation reframes discipleship, forgiveness, healing, and holiness—and invites us to follow Jesus beyond rigid answers into deeper trust.#LukeGospel#JesusAndThePharisees#FaithOverCertainty#ChristianPodcast#BibleStudy#Discipleship#JesusAuthority#ForgivenessAndHealing#SabbathAndGrace#SpiritualFormation#WalkingWithJesus#ChristianTeachingFind us:Substack: https://bobkaylor.substack.comWebsite: https://www.aldersgateyork.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AldersgateYork/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldersgateyork/Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PUdFynhtSR1yl9JRmh2Ol?si=58c25e16f19541efApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aldersgate-experience/id1761614346Aldersgate Church | 397 Tyler Run Rd. | York, PA 17403

    When Jesus Speaks: Authority, Healing, and the Risk of Following

    In this episode, we dive deep into Luke chapters 4 and 5, tracing Jesus’ expanding ministry from Nazareth to Capernaum and the shores of the Sea of Galilee. We explore the authority of Jesus’ teaching, his power over illness and evil, and the growing amazement of the crowds. Along the way, we reflect on exorcism, healing, solitude, and the calling of the first disciples—especially Simon Peter’s risky obedience in deep water. This conversation invites us to consider the difference between faith and certainty, partial understanding and true discipleship, and what happens when people genuinely encounter Jesus. #GospelOfLuke#JesusAuthority#BiblicalPodcast#ChristianTeaching#Discipleship#Luke4#Luke5#JesusHeals#FaithOverFear#BibleStudyPodcast#FollowJesus#ChristianFaithFind us:Substack: https://bobkaylor.substack.comWebsite: https://www.aldersgateyork.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AldersgateYork/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldersgateyork/Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PUdFynhtSR1yl9JRmh2Ol?si=58c25e16f19541efApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aldersgate-experience/id1761614346Aldersgate Church | 397 Tyler Run Rd. | York, PA 17403

    When Grace Offends: Jesus, Nazareth, and the Cost of Going Home

    What happens when Jesus’ hometown hears His mission—and hates it? In Luke 4, Jesus returns to Nazareth and reads Isaiah 61, announcing good news, freedom, and grace. But when He leaves out vengeance and names God’s mercy for outsiders, admiration turns to outrage. This episode explores why familiarity breeds resistance, how nostalgia and expectations blind faith, and why grace is often more threatening than judgment. From Roman occupation to modern polarization, we ask: What does it cost to follow Jesus when His kingdom challenges our identities, loyalties, and comfort? Sometimes, faithful obedience—not dramatic leaps—is the most radical choice. #GospelOfLuke #Luke4 #JesusInNazareth #Isaiah61 #KingdomOfGod #GraceOverVengeance #FaithAndCulture #ChristianPodcast #BiblePodcast #BiblicalTeaching #ChristianDiscipleship #FollowingJesus #FaithJourney #ChurchPodcast #AldersgateExperience Find us: Substack: https://bobkaylor.substack.com Website: https://www.aldersgateyork.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AldersgateYork/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldersgateyork/ Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PUdFynhtSR1yl9JRmh2Ol?si=58c25e16f19541ef Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aldersgate-experience/id1761614346 Aldersgate Church | 397 Tyler Run Rd. | York, PA 17403

    Didn't You Know? Finding Jesus in the Temple, the Wilderness, and the "If"

    What happens in the Gospel of Luke between Christmas and the start of Jesus’ public ministry? In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked passages of Luke 2–4—from the boy Jesus in the temple to John the Baptist’s call to repentance, Jesus’ baptism, genealogy, and temptation in the wilderness. Along the way, we uncover Luke’s rich foreshadowing, historical detail, and deep theology of identity, belonging, and mission. This conversation invites listeners to wrestle with questions of faith, baptism, temptation, and what it truly means to prepare the way for Christ in our lives today.#GospelOfLuke#JesusInTheTemple#JohnTheBaptist#BiblicalPodcast#ChristianPodcast#BibleStudy#NewTestament#FaithAndIdentity#PreparingTheWay#Baptism#SpiritualFormation#LentPreparation#TemptationOfJesus#KingdomOfGod#ChurchPodcastFind us:Substack: https://bobkaylor.substack.comWebsite: https://www.aldersgateyork.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AldersgateYork/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldersgateyork/Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PUdFynhtSR1yl9JRmh2Ol?si=58c25e16f19541efApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aldersgate-experience/id1761614346Aldersgate Church | 397 Tyler Run Rd. | York, PA 17403

    Depart in Peace: The Nunc Dimittis, And Finishing Well | Advent in Luke 2

    As Advent draws to a close, we turn to Luke 2 and the Song of Simeon (the Nunc Dimittis), often called the fourth of the first Christmas carols. In this episode, Pastors Bob Kaylor and Jeff Markey reflect on Simeon and Anna, two faithful elders who recognize the Messiah not through power or spectacle, but through the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit.Using the lens of a “bucket list,” this conversation explores what it truly means to finish well, to wait faithfully across generations, and to live with a legacy-minded faith shaped by God’s timing (Kairos, not Chronos). From Advent’s call to patient hope, to the cost of discipleship, to why Jesus is so often missed when expectations get in the way, this episode invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and remain open to the surprising work of God.Topics include:The meaning of the Nunc Dimittis (“Now dismiss your servant in peace”)Waiting well in a culture of instant gratificationThe Holy Spirit’s role in revelation and discernmentWhy the Gospel promises hope with suffering, not without itHow Advent reshapes our “bucket lists” into lifelong vocationsWhat it means to live—and die—faithfully in ChristA timely reflection for the Fourth Sunday of Advent, Christmas week, and anyone seeking a deeper, Spirit-led walk with Jesus.#Advent #Luke2 #NuncDimittis #SongOfSimeon #ChristmasPodcast #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy #GospelOfLuke #FinishingWell #WaitingOnGod #HolySpirit #ChristianDiscipleship #FaithAndLegacy #AdventReflection #PeaceInChrist #SimeonAndAnna #AdventSeason #ChristianTeaching #ChurchPodcast #FaithJourney #ListeningForGod #KingdomOfGod
