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 resurrection life—right from the very Scriptures his opponents claim to know.

The promise of resurrection in Christ is hope for the grieving, the weary, the skeptical. Join us as we consider two Bible studies in one scene: the Sadducees’ cynical riddle that twists scripture and denies the power of God, and Jesus’ life-giving correction that lifts our eyes to the glory of the age to come.

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 exploit but heals; that doesn’t oppress but liberates. Join Pastor Jim as he shows us that the question this passage asks is not simply, ‘Do we believe in Jesus?’ but rather, ‘Will we trust Him as the only authority who can truly set us free and lead us into real life?

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 season between Christ’s first coming and His return as the rightful King. We’ll learn that our lives are not our own; that we’ve been entrusted with something quite valuable. And that one day, the King will return to set the world to rights.

In this passage we’ll rediscover what it means to live with gospel courage, kingdom purpose, and a heart that longs to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
