Due to some technical difficulties the first few minutes of the sermon's audio is not available, therefore this audio recording starts about 5 minutes into the sermon. We apologize for the inconvenience. We all want to have more joy in our lives! But joy is different from happiness because it often comes at the end of suffering or struggles. In this message on the parable of the Lost sheep in Luke 15:3 - 7, there is a struggle going on. The "sinners" are drawing near to hear Jesus and the religious in the crowd are grumbling. Jesus want to lead both groups of sinners to more joy. So He tells them a parable about the nature of God's love for us all as sinners.
Enter Into Joy
Luke 1:39-49 | Fri, Dec 20, 2019 | Pastor Ken Schultz

God is the most joyful thing in the universe. So no matter what circumstance we are in if we will fellowship with Him we can rejoice in our spirits as we praise Him.

Come to Yourself!
Luke 15:17-24 | Sun, Apr 23, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Coming to yourself is a great gift! But many of us have to go through great pain to finally get there. Often it causes a lot of pain to others in our lives before we get there. The message Come to yourself is part of the series, You Turn to Joy, that delves deeper into the parables of Luke 15. In this message we specifically look at the Prodigal son parable in Luke 15:17 - 24, when the prodigal son realizes that he needs to go back to the Father.

Near or Far
Luke 15:1-3 | Sun, Mar 12, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This is the first part of our series You turn to Joy that looks deeper into the parables and teachings of Jesus in Luke 15. Luke speaks of 4 groups of lost people, the sinners, the tax collectors, the Pharisees and the scribes. Everyone might have thought that some of those groups like the Pharisees and the scribes are those near to God and some of the other groups may be far from God. But it was the sinners and the tax collectors that were drawing near to Jesus and listening to His message.

Rooted in Hope
Luke 21:29-38 | Sun, Jul 21, 2024 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Broken Cistern
Luke 21:20-28 | Sun, Jul 07, 2024 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message on Luke 21:20-28 where Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem is inspired by the words of Jeremiah where he prophesizes to the people about the coming destruction they are about to face because they are not listening to God.

Not a hair
Luke 21:10-19 | Sun, Jun 30, 2024 | Pastor Ken Schultz

God makes a promise to his people in Jesus words that ultimately we will be protected. Not a hair on our head will perish. But that does not mean that there will not be hard times for his people. In this message we look at the context of Jesus words and what it means for us today.

Stones of Faith
Luke 21:5-9 | Sun, Jun 23, 2024 | Pastor Ken Schultz

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.

Intangible Assets
Luke 21:1-4 | Sun, Jun 16, 2024 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Jesus sees how generous we are, he is paying attention. In this message we learn what Jesus wants from our generosity, not just in what we give but in how we give it.

Getting to the heart
Luke 20:41-47 | Sun, Jun 09, 2024 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message we look at Jesus and see what someone who is not a hypocrite does to have a gospel conversation. Jesus is teaching us that the way out of hypocrisy requires us thinking about the truth of God's Word.

Heaven, Actually
Luke 20:27-40 | Sun, May 26, 2024 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In our text today Jesus is saying the ultimate goal for all of us and for all of our lives is heaven. In this message we look at common misconceptions about afterlife beliefs and what the Bible says about the eternal life after this temporary life.
