What would happen if we applied the same standard to the resurrection of Jesus that we apply to other historical stories? Folklore. Myth. How do you think it would hold up? Do you think we’d find any real evidence? Or do you think it’s all just going to come down to faith? That we can’t really be sure about it?
In this sermon, Pastor Frank will attempt to give you a bit more confidence in the claims Jesus made about Himself and the historical evidence of His resurrection.
If Jesus Christ rose from the dead then nothing else matters.
If He didn’t, then nothing matters.

This is a story about two lost sons. Which one do you relate to the most?
I think we all start off as the prodigal son. We make a mess of our lives (“Reckless living.” “extravagant.” Wasteful with everything God gave us.) then we come back to the Father, and find out how merciful and forgiving He is with us—He takes us back no matter what we’ve done and we just stand in His presence interrupted by grace, thankful for His kindness and generosity. Fully restored.
But then, after just a short time, too many of us become like the older brother.
Disown your heavenly Father at your own risk. Raise your fist to heaven and say, “I’m sick of You, I’m sick of Your church, I’m sick of your rules, I’m sick of waiting to die before I can have all those good things You’ve promised me in heaven!” If you live like there is no God, ignore His wisdom, selfishly grasp for wealth and pleasure recklessly—find out where that gets you.
Well, our prodigal punk had sunk as low as he was going to go. He came to himself—came to his senses. This is his story and it directly affects all of us.
You will be interrupted by grace.

If God filled up your church with people who looked like nasty sinners to you—the wrong kind of people—who would those people be? What do they look like?
We always seem to think “repent” is something we have to do in order for Jesus to save us. I want to challenge that a little.
What did the sheep do to repent? Nothing.
What did the coin do to repent? Coins can't do much.
The church has done a terrific job of letting the lost know they aren’t really welcome. Not until they repent. Not until they’re where they should be. Not until they change.
Not until they find their own way out of the lake.
That’s not how grace works. Grace jumps in and pulls you out of the water.

Who are you? Are you a winner? A loser? Are you the coolest person in the room? The smartest? The funniest? Are you defined by your success or your accomplishments? We all look at the wrong things in life to give us validation and self-worth. Frank Kelske gives a vulnerable message on the dangers of finding our identity in anything or anyone other than Jesus Christ. This is a message that can help you find greater peace and fulfillment in your life.

I have a love/hate relationship with Jesus. That probably sounds wrong but I think it’ll make sense after you listen to this message. Jesus says in this passage of Luke that we must have a love/hate relationship with everything in the world. We must hate everything we love. Hate. This wouldn’t have sounded any friendlier to them than it does to us.

How should Christians feel about parties?
Jesus teaches us about the importance of humility, generosity, and not making everything about ourselves. He reminds us that true joy is not found when we selfishly grasp for pleasure but by our willingness to serve others and honor God. A humble party rather than a pity party.
How should Christians feel about parties? Should we go to parties?
Jesus uses a humble party to teach us about the kingdom of heaven.
You are invited to join us for this transformative sermon on Luke 14:1-24, where we will dive deeper into how Jesus calls us to view parties and discover how we can apply it to other aspects of our lives. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the life-changing power of God's Word.

The Gospel is a limited-time offer. You can’t push the door open by being good, the door is only open because Jesus is holding it open for you. Strive to enter now, drag your friends in, too. The offer expires when you expire (or when He comes back down here.) Pray for urgency! Too many of us are living in apathy.

Say what you need to say, plant the seed, and then let God do what He wants with it. A little Gospel changes everything. We live in a culture that is repulsed by the way Christians have misrepresented the Gospel. We need to change that—Little by little.

A plan for how to handle conflict.
You don't make things better by making them worse.

Last week we talked about how God tells husbands to love their wives. This week is all about how wives need to respect their husbands. Unconditional respect. If he isn't loving you the way you want to be loved, if your relationship is "off," there's a good chance the reason is that he doesn't feel respected.

It's probably because she doesn't feel loved. That's usually the problem. Also, there's a really good chance neither of you actually know what love is. I can help you if you give me a chance—well, God can. Your relationships aren't about you.

You are the problem in all your relationships. You don’t know everything. You have to unlearn, untwist, and with great humility—hear what God has to say to you about how to treat the people in your life. You can’t learn something you think you already know. This is a message on grace. The Gospel. It's also about submission, marriage, sex, and parenting.

We don't pass our faith to our children by bludgeoning them with the holy standard of God's Commandments—rather, we are to love God's standard. If we love God's standard, then we teach them to love it, too.

We love to talk about bad news. Some people tell Jesus some bad news that stirs up a conversation about the problem of evil. Jesus takes it further with His insights on what we should do with bad news. Then He tells a story about a really bad tree that failed to produce fruit. If you were a tree, what do you think the fruit would be? What is God looking for from you?

Do you think the disciples were surprised that Jesus threatened them with a beating?
Are you awake and listening? Are you doing what you’re supposed to be doing with the things God has put you in charge of? The resources you’re managing for Him? Are you awake? Are you listening? You have been set free and invited to stay in the Lord’s house. You are promised to be blessed when the Lord returns and finds you awake. He will reward your faithful service by serving you. He will seat you at His table, in a place of honor, and you will feast on rich food and the best wine in the house of the Lord forever.

"Don't be anxious about your life" is Jesus giving comfort—not some impossible standard of human perfection. In this teaching, we can all find powerful ways to trust God more so we can worry less.

Your worth isn’t about how much money you have—or don’t have. Your worth is completely dependent on how valuable you are to God. VW Vans and awesome black metal buildings. Trust in Jesus, that He highly values you, that with Him all things are possible (even for you) and be rich toward God.

God doesn’t want you making up a bunch of rules on top of His. The Commandments were made for man, not man for the Commandments.
