Luke
Epic Storyteller
A farmer scattering seed. A woman desperately searching for a lost coin. A father waiting for his son to come home.
These are the everyday scenes that Jesus used to reveal the most profound truth in the universe: the arrival of the Kingdom of God. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus shows us how this kingdom works—how it breaks into our reality, reorders our values, and transforms our lives from the inside out.In our upcoming sermon series, Epic Storyteller, we will dive deep into these surprising and subversive parables. Together, we'll explore these ancient tales to see our world, our neighbors, and our lives here in Gilbert through the eyes of Jesus.
