Life can be hard. Life can be challenging. Sometimes we are confused or lonely. Other times we feel lost or we are in need of healing. It can be difficult to navigate these times in light of our faith. During our sermon series, Good Dirt, we have met many people along the way who have taught us, through their encounter with Jesus, how to walk out our faith. This week we meet two people who show us two different kinds of faith in Jesus and how Jesus works through each of them in their different circumstances. We learn that sometimes our faith is more proactive and sometimes it sits in patience. Listen in as we learn about these two faiths and how they can impact our lives each day.
We often encounter circumstances that seem absolutely impossible to handle. They seem so weird and out of the ordinary, but have a deep impact on how we live. In situations like this, how do people of faith handle it. As we continue in the Book of Luke, we come across a man who had and extraordinary problem that required an extraordinary solution. We meet the man possessed by a 1000 demons. Listen in as we explore how Jesus handles this situation.
You've heard it said that we are either just coming out of a storm, in the middle of a storm or about to head into one. It is true that storms are a part of this life. However, there are times in our storm that we might wonder where God is. We don't always hear Him clearly and we fear that He doesn't see what we are going through. The disciples knew a thing or two about storms over the sea. As we continue in our Luke Series, we see what the disciples learned from Jesus as they went through a time of a storm. This look at scripture teaches us about His presence in the storm that surrounds us and what we can learn as we walk through each storm in our life.

As we move ahead in our Luke Series, Good Dirt, we are introduced to a few women who were with Jesus and are true examples of what it means to be present with him and to carry out His work in our daily lives. These women show us what it means to be intentional an intimate when it comes to our relationship with Jesus. As believers, we are often reminded of the daily things that need to take place in our walk with Christ. We need to spend time with Him. We need to be in His Word. We need to be about His business. But sometimes we don't know what that actually looks like.

With the Olympics happening right now, we often hear how this athlete is the best or that athlete is the greatest. But what exactly does it mean to be the greatest? What is the criteria in order to be determined as the greatest? Truth is, these questions are going to be answered differently in the world of the Olympics than they are in the Bible. As we continue to learn and study through the book of Luke, we see what actually defines greatness, who is considered great in the eyes of Jesus, and how this definition affects us within in God's Kingdom. Listen in to this week's sermon to understand why this kind of greatness matters to God.
