The Gospel of Luke - A Crisis of Faith

Nov 12, 2023    Pastor Juniece Fillingham

This sermon from Luke 24:1-35 explores the transformative power of encountering Jesus in moments of crisis. It tells the story of two disciples who, following Jesus' crucifixion, are walking to Emmaus, grappling with their grief and questioning the promises Jesus made. Jesus joins them, but their eyes are prevented from recognizing him. This allows him to reveal their deep fears and doubts about their faith. He then uses Scripture to reignite their faith, explaining how the Messiah's suffering was foretold and how his resurrection fulfilled the prophecies. Through their encounter with Jesus, the disciples experience a revelation of his presence, finding hope and a renewed understanding of his sacrifice. Pastor Juniece encourages listeners to seek Jesus, even in times of doubt, through the Scriptures, and emphasizes how he reveals himself to those who seek him, offering hope and a path toward wholeness.
