Rev. Tom Hathaway - February 8, 2026
Not All It's Cracked Up to Be
A man is lowered through a roof hoping Jesus will fix his legs. Instead, Jesus forgives his sins. In this sermon, we explore why the thing we most want repaired in our lives is often not the deepest thing Jesus comes to heal — and why grace, not achievement or improvement, is where real wholeness begins.
Scripture References: Luke 5:15-1526
From Series: "The Gospel of Luke"
The Gospel of Luke tells the story of Jesus in a way that feels surprisingly modern. It’s researched, stitched together from real voices, and honest about its own process. It centers people usually left out of religious stories: women, immigrants, the poor, the doubters, the ones on the edges. This series explores how Luke’s gospel came to be and what it says about a God who works through imperfect people, contested decisions, and messy history to bring healing, justice, and hope. You don’t need to have faith figured out to belong here. This is an invitation to explore a story that has shaped the world and still has something to say about ours.
