Luke

Christmas Service: The Incredulous Incarnation

Luke 2

Merry Christmas! Pastor Eugene preaches from Luke 2 on Christmas Sunday and shares three main reasons why we celebrate and rejoice in the birth of Christ: 1) God became flesh; 2) The incarnation reflects God's love for humanity and His desire to communicate that love; 3) This is truly 'good news' if we reflect on the 'bad news' of death and condemnation. Rather, Jesus has come to us to give us life and life abundant.

The Human Soul

Luke 7:36-39

Pastor Eugene continues the teaching on the vision and mission of Quest Church. He teaches why Quest has, is, and never will be an "island unto itself. Quest is part of larger story authored and sustained by the Holy Trinity: God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is why every church's vision is to Love God and Love People. With that in mind, he teaches on the value and importance of "The Human Soul" - that ultimately, Jesus came not only to minister to our physical needs but more importantly, to speak truth into our human souls. A great example is this woman described in Luke 7:36-39 who was simply known as "a sinner" but Jesus helps her to rediscover her true identity in God.

The Journey: Resurrection and Revelation

Luke 24:13-35

As we celebrate the resurrection of Christ during our Quest's Easter celebration, Pastor Eugene preaches from Luke 24 and the two believers traveling on the road to Emmaus. While there are some amazing stories in the Scriptures of people who witness dramatic encounters with the risen Christ, this story is important for many - then, today, and tomorrow - who experience the risen Christ through the journey of walking together, with others, and ultimately, with Christ.

The Place of Riches in the Christian Life

Luke 18:18-30

Guest preacher, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Mdimi Mhogolo, Presiding Anglican Bishop of the Central Diocese of Tanganyika, Tanzania, challenges us to consider that eternal life isn't a matter of doing something but of receiving the free gift of God's grace. And having received that free gift through faith in Christ we now go and do the good works God has created us to do. Our wealth is given to serve Christ in others (Eph. 2:8-10, Mat 25:37-40).

How Will It Be?

Luke 1:26-38

Pastor Gail narrates the coming of Christ inside the story of Mary –the Annunciation- and specifically through Mary’s question of “How will this be? Since I am a virgin?” So many of us can identify personally with this question as we ponder and strive to understand and grasp the call of God on our lives. That God chose a poor, young and unknown woman to bring forth the Son of God gives each of us hope –a hope of impossible things becoming possible.

Christmas Eve Homily
