The Lost and The Found
Have you ever lost something so small it seemed silly, but you couldn’t rest until it was found? A ring. A child’s toy. A set of keys. Relief floods in when it’s back in your hands. That’s the picture Jesus gives except He’s not talking about things. He’s talking about people. About you. About me. We’ve seen Jesus humble our pride (Luke 14). We’ve counted the cost of following Him. Now, in Luke 15, He names what we really are without Him: lost. But here’s the good news – lostness isn’t the end of the story. Jesus tells us in Luke 15 that God doesn’t wait for sinners to stumble back – He searches, He carries, He restores. And when He does, all of heaven rejoices. Church is not a museum for saints…it’s a home for the lost and found. Will we, as His church, rejoice too? Join us as we trace the true journey of faith in Luke’s Gospel.

The Lowest Seat
From Pride to Purpose | Luke 14:1–14 | Why Jesus Calls Us to Take the Lowest Seat
Have you ever caught yourself silently competing for the “best seat” – whether at a wedding, at work, or even in church?
In Luke 14:1-14, Jesus disrupts our pride-driven instincts and flips the world’s rules of honor upside down. He teaches that “everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
This sermon explores how pride poisons our relationships and isolates us, and how Christ Himself took the lowest seat – at the cross – so that we could be lifted up and seated at God’s table. Drawing from C.S. Lewis, Dante’s Divine Comedy, and the Gospel itself, we’ll see that true spiritual maturity begins with humility, and tiny hidden acts of grace in daily life.
If you’ve ever wrestled with comparison, envy, or the pressure to prove yourself, this message is for you.
Join us as we journey “From Pride to Purpose” in Luke’s Gospel.
