Since the return of Christ is imminent, we are instructed to live with sober and eager expectation of His return and to faithfully serve Him.

The human heart is prone to many misplaced and misguided fears. In today’s passage (Luke 12:4-12), Jesus reminds us that there’s one fear–the Fear of the Lord–that can free us from all our other fears. Jesus shows us how, as Christians, we can face our lives without fear, under the care of the Father, in the forgiveness of the Son and with the comfort of the Spirit.

In today’s passage Jesus strongly rebukes those who claim to love God, so they keep His law. In reality, they love the law, and the status that following it affords, well above God or His people. In this sermon from the Hallows Church in Seattle, WA.

We live in a world where people desire truth but often only want it on their own terms. In this passage we see Jesus confronting this attitude. The people were wanting a sign to prove who Jesus really was but the truth is, there is no greater sign than Jesus Himself! We are to trust Jesus simply for who He is and not just for what He does. Our response to that truth is to reflect the glorious Light of Christ to a darkened world. In this sermon from the Hallows Church in Seattle, WA.

The religious leaders in Jesus’ day thought they were good with God, right with God and would be blessed by God based on what they did for God. In today’s passage, Jesus warns us in a sobering way about approaching God with any sense of entitlement or expectation. He reminds us how dangerous, deceptive and demonic a works-based approach to God can be, and how fortunate we are that He came for relationship not just empty religion. In This Sermon from the Hallows Church in Seattle, WA.
