In Luke 20:45–21:4, Jesus places two radically different ways of life side by side. On one hand stand the scribes—religious leaders who appear righteous on the outside but are driven by pride, recognition, and self-preservation. On the other stands a poor widow, unnoticed by the crowd yet fully seen by God, who gives all she has in quiet, wholehearted devotion. Pastor Casey McCall shows how this contrast exposes the difference between an outside-in life focused on appearances and an inside-out life transformed by grace. This passage challenges us to ask what truly motivates our obedience and generosity, while also offering deep comfort: nothing done in faith goes unseen by Christ. Jesus measures not the size of our actions, but the posture of our hearts. The inside-out life—rooted in repentance, faith, and devotion to Christ—is the only life that endures and the only life Jesus recognizes as true worship.🖥️ Learn more at ashlandcc.net📱 Stay connected with us on Facebook & Instagram🔔 Subscribe and share to encourage others through God’s Word#TwoWaysToLive #Luke20 #Luke21 #ToSeekAndToSave #AshlandCommunityChurch #InsideOutFaith

In Luke 20:27–44, Jesus confronts the Sadducees with a truth that challenges both their theology and their way of life: the resurrection is real, and it changes everything. Pastor Casey McCall shows us that the Jesus revealed in Scripture often disrupts our comfortable assumptions—especially when we try to reduce Him to a version that fits our preferences. By denying the resurrection, the Sadducees were protecting their own earthly kingdom, but Jesus exposes that following Him means the end of all rival kingdoms and the submission of our lives to His reign.This passage calls us to behold the Jesus we don’t expect—the risen Lord who is wiser than human reasoning, greater than King David, and sovereign over life and death. As Jesus reveals Himself as both the Son of David and the Son of God, we are confronted with a decisive question: will we cling to our own kingdoms, or will we repent, believe, and submit to the King who alone brings true life and eternal hope? 🖥️ Learn more at ashlandcc.net📱 Stay connected with us on Facebook & Instagram🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts#TheJesusWeDontExpect #Luke20 #ToSeekAndToSave #ResurrectionHope #KingJesus #AshlandCommunityChurch

In Luke 20:1–26, Jesus exposes what lies beneath resistance to His authority. As Israel’s leaders confront Him in the temple, their questions reveal not honest curiosity but hardened unbelief, stubborn desires, and a refusal to submit to the true King. Pastor Casey McCall shows how Jesus’ counters—His question about John’s baptism, His parable of the vineyard, and His brilliant response about paying tribute to Caesar—reveal the real issue: the human heart does not naturally want Christ to rule.This passage forces each of us to consider whether we, too, resist Jesus’ authority in subtle ways—by justifying our desires, ignoring God’s Word, or giving Him our lip service instead of our lives. The heart of opposition is not merely an ancient problem; it is the battle every disciple must confront. And the good news is that the rejected Son has become the Cornerstone—the One who rescues, restores, and reigns.🖥️ Learn more at ashlandcc.net📱 Stay connected with us on Facebook & InstagramSubscribe for more sermons and share to encourage others!#TheHeartOfOpposition #Luke20 #ToSeekAndToSave #AshlandCommunityChurch #JesusIsLord #GospelOfLuke

In Luke 19:11–48, Jesus reveals Himself as the Threefold King—King of Kings, Prophet, and Priest—and calls His followers to respond with faithfulness, devotion, and obedience. Pastor Joe Abdelghany walks us through Jesus’ parable of the minas, His triumphal entry, His lament over Jerusalem, and His cleansing of the temple, showing that every moment of Christ’s ministry demands a response from us. Will we waste what He’s entrusted to us, or will we joyfully give our lives, our worship, and our witness to the risen King?This passage challenges us to wake up to God’s generosity, reject the world’s false definitions of success, and embrace a life centered on His mission and His Word.🖥️ Learn more at: ashlandcc.net📱 Stay connected with us on Facebook & InstagramSubscribe for more sermons and share to encourage others!#RespondingToTheKing #Luke19 #ToSeekAndToSave #AshlandCommunityChurch #JesusIsKing #GospelOfLuke

In this passage, Jesus meets two very different men—a blind beggar and a wealthy tax collector—and both are transformed by His mercy. Pastor Josh Crawford shows how the desperate cries of the blind man and the eager search of Zacchaeus reveal what real faith looks like when people encounter Christ.These stories remind us that salvation is entirely the work of a merciful Savior who seeks the lost and produces genuine change in those who trust Him. The question for each of us is simple: How are we responding to Jesus’ mercy today?🖥️ Learn more at ashlandcc.net📱 Stay connected with us on Facebook and Instagram!Subscribe for more sermons and share to encourage others!#FaithfullyResponding #Luke18 #Luke19 #ToSeekAndToSave #AshlandCommunityChurch #JesusSaves #GospelTransformation
