Father of His Country
1w agoTap to summarizeGeorge Washington is famously described as the "Father of His Country." But should Christians honor him, or the other Founders? If Christians are called to submit to the "Powers that be" (Romans 13) how can it be right to rebel against the king? Pastor Luke teaches from Acts 4-5 in "Father of His Country," part 2 of his 8-part series, "Presbyterian Rebellion."
Transcribe →To Secure These Rights
3w agoTap to summarizeFor most Americans, "don't tread on me" is one of our highest values. We often distrust the government and (depending who's running it) are tempted to be ungovernable. But Christians believe we should obey the government. How do we reconcile that as Americans? How did the Founders, 250 years ago? Pastor Luke teaches from 2 Kings 11:17 in "To Secure These Rights," the first message in a new series, "Presbyterian Rebellion."
Transcribe →Ask Me Anything
4w agoTap to summarizeIn this installment of “Ask Me Anything,” Pastor Luke addressed four questions. This message was delivered in gathered worship on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at Jewel Lake Parish in Anchorage, Alaska. TIMESTAMPS 00:14 how many Presbyterians signed the Declaration of Independence? 03:02 what is the Abomination of Desolation? 11:16 is the "fear of the Lord" really "fear" or something else? 16:06 what are your thoughts on Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (Note: In answering the second question, Pastor Luke misattributed some ways that Antiochus IV profaned the Temple with how Pompey profaned it. Daniel might have foreseen either, or both, or something else entirely.) Pastor Luke looks at 2 Chronicles 17:10 in "Ask Me Anything."

Transcribe →The Outpouring
May 24Tap to summarizeChristians call Pentecost "the Birthday of the Church." That sounds fun. But the fun comes after some pretty weird events. What's that about? What does Pentecost have to do with Jesus, and what does it have to with us today? Pastor Luke looks at Acts 2:1-21 in "The Outpouring."
Transcribe →Mother Love
May 10Tap to summarizeChristians believe that Christ has set us free from everything that holds us captive. But sometimes, they seem to provide a whole new list of obligations to people who have been set free. How does that work? Pastor Luke teaches from Galatians 4:21-31 in "Mother Love."

Transcribe →Levi's Party
Apr 19Tap to summarizeJesus called his disciples — all of them, including the ones walking around today — to carry out the Great Commission by making disciples. But a lot of Christians don't even try, and many who do try aren't very good at it. Is there a better approach to evangelism? Pastor Luke preaches from Matthew 9:9-13 in "Levi's Party."
Transcribe →Going Places
Apr 12Tap to summarizeMatthew's biography of Jesus spans 28 chapters, and within it there are countless lessons and applications for contemporary readers. But anyone who wants to understand the good news about Jesus should start at the end, with the last five verses, the passage that Pastor Luke calls the "Great So-What." Pastor Luke preaches from Matthew 28:16-20 in "Going Places."
