Today many who claim to have faith only seem to have wish. The greatest problem Pastor Ken sees in God’s church today is not resources. We have more resources of communication, information, educated people, and freedoms to do things. The problem is we often treat faith more like a wish which is an apathetic and fearful approach that will produce little work of value. Faith must work! It takes determination, persistence, discipline, and strength to hold on to faith.

Set sail on a great adventure and learn through faith with Jesus Christ. Our Lord never leaves us or forsakes us in the storms of life. We need to trust in Jesus through all seasons of life.

Those awake to grace can rest forever. Celebrating and allowing what their master has done to serve them. They are no longer servants, but loving additions to the family.

In today's text Jesus is revealing to His disciples and the other people that are listening that they need to be stones of faith not impressed by the stones of a religious or political system.

The parable in Luke 19 about the ten minas speaks about the second coming of Jesus Christ. This parable teaches us that we are accountable to do something with the Grace that He gives us. In this message we examine this parable to learn what the Lord expects from those who follow Him.

Letting go and trusting in Gods grace can sometimes be challenging, we like to be in control. We try to fix problems ourselves but there are problems in life that we just can’t fix ourselves. In this message we look at a man who tried to create his own Utopia without God, it looked to everyone including himself like he was doing good, but was really devastating to real life, the life God offers us in relationship to Him.

We often fall into this trap where we either consider ourselves to be utterly self-sufficient or we consider ourselves to be lacking. Either way we are setting our sights in the wrong direction, focused on either judging ourselves or others rather than turning to God for grace.

In Luke 17:11-19, Luke tells the story of 10 lepers who were healed. Nine of the lepers went away and did not thank Jesus. Only one leper came back to thank Jesus. Jesus said to this leper, "Your faith has saved you." The leper goes back to gratitude. In this message Pastor Ken asks the question, why do we need to go back to gratitude? Life can be full of disappointments. We live in a false world, and this greatly affects our attitude towards gratitude. And we have to keep reminding ourselves to repent or go back to gratitude.

The reason some cannot be a disciple is not because they are unworthy, it is because they are unwilling to pay the cost of Love. Jesus offers us free the gift of forgiveness but in our text in this message in Luke 14 Jesus makes it very clear that there is a cost to being his disciple. Jesus grace is free but it is not cheap.

Faith is not passive! Faith is fight! The world, the devil, our own flesh war against us constantly. The fight is to remember to claim victory in faith through this life's battles! Many lose the battle because they are wasting their energy fighting the wrong battle. And then still others lose it because they do not recognize they are in a battle. In Luke 13 we explore how Jesus is teaching us how to win.
