With this simple question, Jesus brings to mind past events and prepares His disciples to continue to trust Him in the future. 

The resurrection of Jesus is the most important event in the history of the world.  Today we explored why the resurrection of Jesus is good news for us. 

Christ is risen and that is good news for you!

The Nunc Dimittis (Song of Simeon) is truly an amazing song and it's message can bring us true comfort! 

The parable of the wicked tenants is challenging, but if we approach it with the right questions we can find what it means for us. 

Where does the Sanctus come from?  Why do we sing it?  What can we learn from it? 

The parable of the Prodigal Son is very well known, but it's familiarity can make it challenging for us to truly hear its message.  In this message we hear it again, but listening as if for the first time, we are able to hear something we might have previously missed. 

Why does Jesus willing come to be "the Lamb of God?"  What does this mean for us? Why do we sing of Jesus as the Lamb of God?

Luke 13:1-5 is a tough text in which Jesus tells us things we need to hear, but might not want to hear. Yet even with these tough words there is comfort to be found. 

Jerusalem is a city filled with memories, both good and bad.  What can we learn from those memories?  What do they tell us about Jesus? 

Why do we begin the service with the Invocation?  What can we learn about our lives from these 15 words? 

What do the Old Testament, Epistle, and Gospel readings for this day have to do with each other?  Is there a common thread and if there is, what does it lead us to do? 

The Transfiguration of Jesus can be best understood when we see the story God had been writing that led up to it. 

In the beatitudes (found in Luke 6) Jesus makes it clear that blessing is not measured by earthly material wealth, but is a present reality for rich or poor for all who trust in Him. 

God's holiness is enough to make us fear Him, so how can we approach Him?
