May 26, 2019What Kind of King? Part 1By: Mark PluimerOur text in Luke today occurs on the 1st day of the Passover Festival as Jesus and the crowds reach the crest of the Mount of Olives with Jerusalem awaiting below to the west.

May 12, 2019The Seeker Who Was SoughtBy: Mark PluimerToday in Luke we consider the story of Zacchaeus, a man of short stature and a penchant for extorting money from his fellow Israelites as a tax collector for Rome, who had heard about Jesus coming his way and sought a place to see this Jesus, the one who cam to seek and save the lost. Consider this story of the radical grace of salvation that led to a radical response of transformation: from extortionist to philanthropist.Pastor Mark Pluimer.

Apr 14, 2019Which Path Are You On?By: Mark PluimerToday we consider in Luke the encounter between Jesus and the rich ruler who asked what it takes for a person to enter the Kingdom. God requires perfect obedience from each of us concerning our relationships with other people and foremost our relation with God Himself. Consider with us how things of physical living can be barriers to right relationships, especially with God, and that that which is impossible for people to achieve is possible for God.Pastor Mark Pluimer.

Apr 7, 2019The Subversive kingdom–White Trash Singing HallelujahBy: Mark PluimerIn our study of Luke we see that continues the motif of how the Kingdom of God is an inversion of expectations. Today we consider how the Kingdom is given and how it is received: as an infant or toddler. Grace is the condition, not innocence nor purity of the recipient and certainly not by individual ability to earn it.Pastor Mark Pluimer. Becoming Disciples through the Gospel of Luke.
