Peace To You: Luke 24:36-53

Peace To You Luke 24:36-53 The Village Chapel - 11/02/2025 On the evening of the resurrection, the disciples huddled together unsure what to make of the rumors and eyewitness accounts that Jesus was alive. Then suddenly, He stood among them. The same hands that had been pierced were now in front of them. The same voice that cried out on the cross now spoke peace into their despair. In that moment, the disciples were changed. The crucified one was not only alive—He was bodily present, eating ...

Rekindled Hearts: Luke 24:13-35

Rekindled Hearts Luke 24:13-35 The Village Chapel - 10/26/2025 Two disciples walk the seven miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus, trying to make sense of the unthinkable. Their hope had been nailed to a cross and buried in a tomb. Disappointment hung heavy in the air as the promise of the resurrected Jesus was nowhere to be seen—until a stranger joined them on the road. Step by step, He listened, questioned, and opened the Scriptures until their cold hearts began to glow with the hope of the resur...

This Changes Everything: Luke 24:1-12

This Changes Everything Luke Luke 24:1-12 The Village Chapel - 10/19/2025 We’re constantly told, “Do this one thing, and your life will never be the same.” Three steps, 90 days, and you'll be unrecognizable—according to social media, at least. But what if the one thing that truly changes everything… has already happened? What if someone already did the one thing that reshapes history, eternity, your story, and mine, too? What if Jesus actually did what He promised—rise from the dead- and His...

Defining Moments: The Burial of Jesus Christ: Luke 23:50-56

Defining Moments: The Burial of Jesus Christ Luke 23:50-56 The Village Chapel - 10/12/2025 Each of our lives is shaped by what we might call “defining moments”—those hinge points that change the course of our life in significant ways. We can see some of these moments coming. Others we only recognize when looking back, and we can see the gracious hand of God weaving through our good and bad choices, our challenges, our joys, and our pain—forming us, changing us, preparing us for what comes ne...

Why Did Jesus Die? The Message and Meaning of the Cross: Luke 23:26-49

The Village Chapel - 10/05/2025 Why did Jesus die? Was it betrayal, political corruption, mob injustice—or was there something deeper? In Luke 23:26–49 we come to the very heart of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. Here, in one of history’s most pivotal moments, we see God’s justice, love, wisdom, and power converge. The crucifixion is not just a tragic ending—it is God’s eternal plan to bring redemption, forgiveness, and new life to all who will believe. In this message, “Why Did ...

Beauty for Ashes, Diamonds for Dirt: Luke 23:1-25

Beauty for Ashes, Diamonds for Dirt Luke 23:1-25 The Village Chapel - 09/28/2025 In the early morning hours of what we now call Good Friday, Jesus was taken by the religious leaders to stand trial before Pontius Pilate. In Luke’s account, Jesus speaks only five words when he responds to Pilate’s question, “Are you the King of the Jews?” and says, “It is as you say.” We come to a crossroads in this account: Courage and cowardice converge; actual authority and power are displayed through silen...

What Is Your Response To Jesus Christ?: Luke 22:63-71

What is your response to Jesus Christ? Luke 22:63-71 The Village Chapel - 09/21/2025 Curious about God? Seeking truth about who Jesus was and is? This study, rooted in the Gospels’ parallel accounts, helps us discover the powerful question at the heart of Christianity: What is your response to Jesus Christ? This sermon unveils three realities: 1. There are those who are Belligerent Unbelievers, who reject God, risking eternal consequences. 2. Jesus was a Suffering Savior who sacrificed all ...

In the Garden of Gethsemane: Luke 22:35-62

In the Garden of Gethsemane Luke 22:35-62 The Village Chapel - 09/14/2025 In Luke 22:35-62, we are taken into the dark hours of Thursday night in the Garden of Gethsemane. Here, Jesus kneels in prayer, staggering under the weight of sin and the cup of wrath He alone must drink. Betrayed by Judas, abandoned by the disciples, and soon denied by Peter, Jesus nevertheless submits fully to the Father’s will. In His agony, His arrest, and His mercy—even healing the ear of one sent to seize Him—we ...

The Upside-Down Kingdom: Redefining Greatness: Luke 22:24-34

The Upside-Down Kingdom: Redefining Greatness Luke 22:24-34 The Village Chapel - 09/07/2025 In a world consumed by wealth, status, and the pursuit of greatness, Jesus turns everything upside down. Luke 22 unveils a radical truth: true greatness isn’t about outshining others or chasing personal glory—it’s about humility, service, and deep heart transformation at work in the lives of believers, through God’s grace. As the disciples bickered over which of them was greatest, Jesus modeled ...

The Divine Conspiracy Luke 22:1-23 The Village Chapel - 08/31/2025 In the shadowed drama of Luke 22:1-23, a sinister plot brews as Judas, Satan, and the religious elite conspire against Jesus. Yet, amidst this betrayal, a greater plan unfolds—Christ's divine conspiracy of love and redemption. This sermon unveils the stark contrast between human treachery and God's relentless grace, inviting us to examine our hearts and respond to a Savior who pursues even the betrayer. Are you part of His tr...

Lift Up Your Heads, Your Redemption Is Near: Luke 21:5-38

Lift Up Your Heads, Your Redemption Is Near Luke 21:5-38 The Village Chapel - 08/24/2025 The Olivet Discourse in Luke’s gospel (and its synoptic counterparts) is one of the most debated texts in the history of biblical scholarship….. We cannot know with certainty what Jesus himself did not choose to fully reveal — the timing of his return. But Jesus gave his disciples reasons to be encouraged amidst warnings of earthly catastrophe, divine wrath, and the persecution that would come with follo...

Where Duty Meets Delight: Luke 21:1-4

Where Duty Meets Delight Luke 21:1-4 The Village Chapel - 08/17/2025 We live in a world that values more of everything-bigger, better, faster, stronger, richer, all of which capture our attention. But while the economy of the world is all about getting, the economy of heaven is all about giving… for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Join us this week as we study Luke 21, verses 1 through 4. We’ll examine the story of a poor widow’s tiny yet extravagant offering, whi...

God of the Living: Luke 20:27-47

God of the Living Luke 20:27-47 The Village Chapel - 08/10/2025 In Luke 20:27-47, we find Jesus face-to-face with the Sadducees, confronting both their skepticism about the resurrection and their wrong approach to God’s Word. In a world where so many voices vie for authority, Jesus reminds us that true hope is found not in our own assumptions or traditions, but in the living God who still speaks through his Word. Jesus exposes empty religion and reveals the life-transforming power of resurre...

By What Authority?: Luke 19:45-20:26

The Village Chapel - 08/03/2025 We live in a cultural moment that is deeply suspicious of authority. We’ve seen power corrupt, leaders fail, and institutions crumble. The solution many propose is to throw off all authority—to live ‘free,’ answerable to no one. But what if autonomy isn’t the answer? What if the real problem isn’t authority itself, but the wrong kind of authority? In Luke 19 and 20, Jesus walks into the temple and claims authority like no one else—an authority that doesn’t exp...

Fruitful in His Kingdom: Luke 19:11-27

Fruitful in His Kingdom Luke 19:11-27 The Village Chapel - 07/27/2025 "What kind of King is Jesus? And what does He expect of us while we wait for His return?" In Luke 19, Jesus tells a provocative parable about a nobleman, two good servants, one bad servant, and a group of hateful citizens who reject the nobleman’s rule altogether. It’s a story about stewardship, rejection, fear, and faithfulness. Join Pastor Jim as he explores what it means to be faithful in the in-between—the se...

To Seek and Save: Luke 19:1-10

To Seek and Save Luke 19:1-10 The Village Chapel - 07/20/2025 We all desire to know and be known, to love and be loved, and to live a life that is somehow significant. How do we accomplish this? Is it through success, wealth, or possessions? Through fame or popularity? In Luke chapter 19, Jesus crosses paths with a man named Zacchaeus, who is full of wealth and success but empty of significance. What happens to this man and his life when he meets Jesus? Join us as we look at this encounter a...

Entering the Kingdom like a Child: Luke 18:15-43

Entering the Kingdom like a Child Luke 18:15-43 The Village Chapel - 07/06/2025 In Luke 18, Jesus makes a stunning claim: “Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” It’s a simple sentence—but it raises an important question: What does it actually mean to have child-like faith? How we answer that shapes not only how we relate to God, but how we understand the gospel itself. Through the contrasting stories of a wealthy ruler and a blind beggar, Jesus...

Does Prayer Work?: Luke 18:1-14

Does Prayer Work? Luke 18:1-14 The Village Chapel - 07/06/2025 Does God actually hear our prayers—or is prayer merely wishful thinking and positive self-talk? In a world that sometimes feels the weight of heaven’s silence and is drowning in the hopelessness of skepticism, Jesus told two parables—one about a widow and a judge, the other about a Pharisee and a tax collector. These stories speak directly to our own questions about prayer. And they’re more than just lessons about talking to God ...

Thy Kingdom Come, My Kingdom Go: Luke 17:20-37

Thy Kingdom Come, My Kingdom Go Luke 17:20-37 The Village Chapel - 06/29/2025 In a world where uncertainty and fear often dominate the headlines, Jesus’ words in Luke 17:20-37 invite us to look beyond the chaos and consider a deeper reality: the Kingdom of God that has come in Jesus and that will come in its fullness when He comes again. As Jesus nears the cross, his message becomes urgent—challenging spiritual blindness, warning against indifference to the things of God. This passage presses...
