Talks on Luke

Prison Fellowship’s 40(+1) Years || Luke 4:14-21

At St John’s, we are passionate partners in God’s global and local mission. We believe that God loves the whole world and so we pray, give money, and equip people for mission work locally, around Australia and throughout the world. Today, we’re joined …

The Lost Sheep || The Good Shepherd || Luke 15:1-7

After hearing the theme song of the Good Shepherd over the last few weeks, today we get the big reveal as Jesus himself steps onto the stage and takes up the role of the Good Shepherd God promised to send. But what kind of shepherd would leave 99 sheep…

Hope || A Weary World Rejoices || Luke 1:26-38

With nearly two years of cancelled plans under our belts, you’d be forgiven for suffering from ‘hope fatigue’. Why bother getting excited about plans to come, when they’ll probably get cancelled anyway? The angel speaking to Mary offers her something…

Weary || A Weary World Rejoices || Luke Luke 1:5-25

When you’re tired, you’re not at your best. You might be more irritable, or forgetful, or just plain cranky. The pandemic has left us all feeling weary, but there’s still hope in the grace of Jesus. Connect with us at ➜ Website: https://stjohnsdc.o…

Humble Prayer || Teach Us To Pray || Luke 18:9-14

Imagine attending a prayer meeting and ragging on someone else at that meeting – during your prayers. That’s exactly what one of the esteemed Jewish leaders did in this passage. Meanwhile, that other person prayed a simple prayer – just seven words lon…

Persistent Prayer || Teach Us To Pray || Luke 18:1-8

We’re continuing our series on prayer with Tim looking at persistent prayer. How do you go sticking at things for the long haul? Sticking at things for a long time, even when it’s hard going. As lockdown rolls on and Melbourne became the most locked-…

Bold Prayer || Teach Us To Pray || Luke 11:5-13

We’re continuing our series on prayer with Kirk looking at bold prayer. God wants us to be in relationship with him, asking things of him, like a kid asking their dad for an egg, or a neighbour asking a friend for a favour in the middle of the night.

Simple Prayer || Teach Us To Pray || Luke 11:1-4

In 2020’s lockdowns, 26% of Australians said they spent more time praying and on spiritual pursuits – and that they wanted to continue that beyond COVID.  For the next few weeks, we’ll be sitting at the feet of Jesus, just as his disciples did, and a…

Jesus Loves Us || Good News In Action || Luke 7:36-50

In this weeks sermon, Tim has a look at Luke Chapter 7:36-50, where Jesus is having a dinner party with some pharisee’s until a woman comes in and washes Jesus’s feet with her hair. Tim talks about how in Jesus, we are known, and that he loves us no ma…

Thanksgiving 2019 || Luke 17:11-19

This week, St John’s celebrates its 152nd birthday and as is tradition, we spend the time giving thanks to God for all he has done in the past year. Also, Tim brings us a story from Luke that highlights the importance of thanksgiving.

In the Midst of Conflict || Trust God || Luke 12:49-59

Fully trusting God can be difficult, especially in the face of conflict. But as the Bible teaches us, conflict is inevitable, and as Christians, our job is to handle adversity with the grace and love of Jesus himself. This week, Julie shares with us a …

And Serve Him || Trust God || Luke 12:35-48

Fully trusting God can be difficult, and serving him with everything can be even harder. But just as we call Jesus our Lord, we are called to serve him as our Lord. This week, Tim is back to share with us a story from the book of Luke: a parable of ser…

And Don’t Worry || Trust God || Luke 12:22-34

Fully trusting God can be difficult, especially when we are so focused on our own worries. And while worry or stress is not inherently evil, it is certainly useless or unhelpful. This week, Kirk brings us a message from Luke that tells us not to stress…

And Not Money || Trust God || Luke 12:13-21

Fully trusting God can be difficult, especially when we are tempted to hold on to parts of our lives as if we are keeping them a secret from Him. One area many Christians struggle to bring to God is money – how we view it and how we spend it.  Tim retu…

And Don’t Be Afraid || Trust God || Luke 12:1-12

Fully trusting God can be difficult, especially when we can’t see where he is leading us. In these times, it’s tempting to put on a mask to suit our surroundings. It’s tempting to try and hide parts of our lives from God. This week, Tim brings us our f…
