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.
The Idols of Parenting
Ezekiel 14:1-6 – Proverbs 22 tells us that parents should train their children to please God; however, God doesn’t promise a child’s outcome based on a parent’s effort. Pastor Rod Bunton walks us through some of the traps the parent fall into when trying to raise their children “the right way.”
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

Seeking Out Sinners
Luke 5:27-32 – The Pharisees couldn’t believe that Jesus would associate with such reviled sinners like Matthew and the other tax collectors. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches us what Jesus taught them: that He was where He was needed most.

Faith in the Resurrection

Leprosy of the Soul
Luke 5:12-16 – When Jesus used His divine power to cleanse the leper of his disease, there was a parallel lesson about the disease called sin. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches about the law given in the Old Testament that helps identify the diseases, but only God can cleanse both the leper and the sinner.
