The problem with shame

Luke 16:1-13

A message from Pastor Jason Storbakken

Lazarus and the rich man

Pastor Jason preaches a message rooted in Jesus' teachings from Luke 11:1-13.
Jesus' teaches his disciples to persist, and particularly to persist in seeking God's Spirit.

Ask, seek, knock... for God's Spirit!

Pastor Jason Storbakken shares a message from Matthew 5:43-48.
"Jesus said, 'You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.'"

"Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you."

Warring and the Bible

This series explores Luke 4:14-30, including the content (Isaiah 61:1-3, 1 Kings 17, and 2 Kings 5) and context (synagogue at Nazareth) of Jesus' message. In this fourth installment, Jesus says "And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian." This message centers on the prophet Elisha and his healing of a foreign military general.

Just when we thought the series was a two-parter, there's a third part to this series (and likely, at least, a fourth!). Pastor Jason explores Jesus' reference to the Elijah and the widow. Luke 4:16-30.
1 Kings 17:8-16.

Sue Park-Hur (guest speaker)

A message on the importance of deep listening.

"You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger."

James 1:19-27

Quick to listen

Pastor Jason reflects on Ephesians 4:25-5:2. 
"I ride my bike to the Bowery every weekday morning. And there are some crazy drivers out there. One day, a truck nearly hit me. And I became angry, and just about lost my witness. I then recalled that I had recently learned that anger is a secondary emotion. And so I paused and searched my heart... I realized I was scared... When Paul says, “Don’t let the sun go down on your anger.” This calls us to consider the deeper emotion we may be experiencing."
