The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 14:1-6

10 May 2026

In this sermon on Luke 14:1–6, the pastor reflects on Jesus healing a suffering man at a Sabbath meal while the Pharisees watch for a reason to accuse him. He says the scene exposes what sin does to people: it drains joy, hardens the heart, and feeds pride. Instead of receiving God’s mercy or showing compassion, the Pharisees use a hurting man as a trap, revealing how deeply sin can distort both worship and love for others.

Against that backdrop, Jesus shines as the merciful Savior who sees through hidden motives and still moves toward sinners in compassion. The sermon urges listeners to stop excusing or hiding sin, since it only makes people miserable and cold, and to bring it honestly into God’s light. The main call is to repent and turn to Jesus, who forgives, softens hard hearts, humbles pride, and begins to free people from sin’s power.
