Luke

Time Will Tell

Jonathan Shradar preaches on Luke 8:1-18. The Christian’s work is tending the garden of their soul.

Sermon notes.

Think about it…

If you are a Christian, the seed took root! Even so, which of the soils matches your experience of life the most and how do you position yourself to be good soil?


Does the realization of different "soils" change how we share Jesus with our neighbors?


When you don't feel rooted or fruitful, how can you gain those back? Where do you go when tending the garden of your soul is real work?


How do you contemplate your legacy? If all your hopes, hidden and otherwise will be revealed, why not live boldly trusting Jesus alone now?

Why is repentant humility hard for us? What does it practically look like for us?

Absurd Living

Sermon notes.

Think about that…

Why are these instructions from Jesus hard for his followers to hear and follow?


If you don't follow these exhortations are you less loved by God?


What does this kind of mercy look like in our day and age?


How can you set yourself up to be filled with the love of God more? Why does this love motivate us to action?


Who are the enemies you are called to love this week? Ask the Spirit to show you and lead you in opportunities to give that love.
