Senior Pastor Rod Bunton takes us through the Gospel of Luke, verse by verse.
Love Your Enemies, Part 1
Luke 6:27-36 – We have many examples of evildoers in our local circles and around the world today; these people are not easy to love. Pastor Rod Bunton reminds us that, as unredeemed sinners, we were the enemies of God and yet He chose to love us.
Blessings and Woes, Part 4
Luke 6:22,26 – Blessed are you when people hate you and woe to you when all people speak well of you. Pastor Rod Bunton looks at the fourth beatitude recorded in Luke and tells us why we should expect persecution.
Blessings and Woes, Part 3
Luke 6:21,25 – Blessed are you who weep now and woe to you who laugh now. Pastor Rod Bunton looks at the third beatitude recorded in Luke and explains why we should be weeping.
Blessings and Woes, Part 2
Luke 6:17-26 – Blessed are you who are hungry and woe to those who are satisfied. Pastor Rod Bunton looks at the second of the beatitudes and explains what that hunger is for.
Blessings and Woes, Part 1
Luke 6:17-26 – In Luke’s account of the Sermon of the Mount, a more condensed version than the one recorded by Matthew, Jesus communicates through two key words: “blessed” and “woe.” Pastor Rod Bunton starts his look at the first of the Beatitudes and helps us understand their true meaning.
Twelve Fallible Men, Part 3

Twelve Fallible Men, Part 2
Luke 6:12-16 – Ordinary, sinful, unqualified men, chosen not because of who they were, but because of what they would become. Pastor Rod Bunton takes a close look at five more apostles chosen by Jesus.
Twelve Fallible Men, Part 1
Luke 6:12-16 – Jesus chose twelve ordinary men to accomplish an extraordinary mission. Pastor Rod Bunton takes a closer look at two of the apostles in this introduction to the “defective dozen.”
Jesus is Our Model
Luke 6:12-16 – Before Jesus was preparing to choose apostles from his disciples, he got alone to pray to the Father. Pastor Rod Bunton shows how this is another way that Jesus is the model for our lives.
Confrontation Over the Sabbath
Luke 6:1-11 – In the first part of this passage, we learned that Jesus is Lord over all things, including the ceremonial law related to the Sabbath. Pastor Rod Bunton looks at another Sabbath event that directly opposed the desires of the Pharisees.
Lord of the Sabbath
Luke 6:1-11 – Jesus’ activities on the Sabbath raised quite a bit of controversy among the Pharisees. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches how Jesus overruled this ceremonial law.
Mixing Darkness with Light
Luke 5:33-39 – The Pharisees had a different opinion about fasting than what they observed in the disciples of Jesus. Pastor Rod Bunton explains how they wanted a religion that met their expectations and it was a perfect opportunity for Jesus to teach truth.
