St. Luke Columbus

If Jesus is truly God that is such good news. We no longer need to wonder what God is like and how God would behave if he were human. When Jesus is the lens through which we see and live our lives, our choices, behaviors, and attitudes change. Life through the lens of Jesus means grace for all people and likewise, as followers of Jesus, we are “means of grace to and in the world.” Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

If Jesus is fully God, what does that say about who God is? While the claim that Jesus is fully God is a bold and controversial statement of faith, to claim that God is Jesus is even more bold and controversial, because no self-respecting God would behave like Jesus.

What is an ice cream scoop capable of doing?  It is capable of holding liquids, scooping cold ice cream, being used as a hammer, digging in the dirt.  Certainly, there are things that an ice cream scoop is not capable of.  But, it has many uses...and the best day in an ice cream scoop’s life is when it is called into service on behalf of the Graeter’s employee.  It becomes a means of grace in the form of ice cream. We determine an object's capabilities by examining its form and intended function.   What are you capable of doing?

Martin Luther longed for a church that proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He wasn’t just looking for the church to be better. Luther longed for a church where grace was shared and freedom proclaimed in Christ alone. What do you long for today? Is there an I confessed longing, as Bonhoeffer writes, for peace, stability, joy, happiness? Are you longing for renewal in your relationships? Maybe you are just longing for a better tomorrow? Have you settled for 2nd best in life thinking “good enough” is the best it gets, and it is better than nothing? Is it possible that your longing for renewal, peace, etc. can be realized? What if a reformation can happen in your life?

Our political views are shaped by a number of variables: our backgrounds, education, and personal experiences to name a few. It’s easy to feel like our view is the right one, but the person beside you is more precious to God than your political view.   As citizens of the Kingdom of God, we are governed first and foremost by the Law of Christ (“love one another as I have loved you”, Christ), which precedes all our political viewpoints.       Next Steps:  Listen, Learn, and Love   Lessons: Galatians 6:2 and John 15:8-13   —  Like, comment & subscribe to stay updated with the latest content!  —  With St Luke Columbus Online you can join us every Sunday starting at 8:15 am.

Your favorite candidate will win or lose based on how our country votes this November. However, the church will win or lose based on our behavior between now and then. Next steps: Pray for oneness. Heavenly Father, make us one so we can influence many. Prayer of Jesus, what he wanted to be protected. Look for an opportunity to love unconditionally someone with whom you disagree politically.

Many divide society into sacred and secular spaces.  Certainly, churches are considered sacred spaces where religious activities are conducted and secular spaces, like a park or government building, are considered secular, a place where attitudes and activities have no religious background to them.  And yet, much of the books of Acts takes place in public, secular spaces like marketplaces, calling into question the sacred/secular divide.  Today we will discover what happens when God crosses this false divide and the impact it has on the world around us.     Next step: Boldly live as Christ in the public square, ushering in the Kingdom of God wherever we go.    Lessons: Acts 17:16-34   Watch: stlukecolumbus.com/ondemand   Subscribe to our Youtube channel  

Jesus showed that there are no limits to where God would go to reach us. The work of God through Jesus not only went to the ends of the earth but to the dead - the dead that were once to be avoided.  Jesus came to raise the dead, physically, and spiritually. Because of sin, all people are born spiritually dead. In our baptism and coming to faith, we are born again and raised to live a new life. As the raised Church of Christ, we go to be with the dead in hopes that God will work through our witness to raise the dead to new life.      Next Step: Identify people you know that appear to be spiritually dead. Go and be with them, asking God to work through you to raise them to new life through faith in Jesus.    Lessons: Acts 9:36-42, Psalm 139:7-8, Luke 7: 11-17, Eph. 4:9, 1 Peter 3:18-19, 4:6, Rom. 6:3-4.   Watch: stlukecolumbus.com/ondemand   Subscribe to our Youtube channel
