“He is Lord” - Luke 6 - April 27th, 2025 - Pastor Scotty Brown

In this sermon, Pastor Scotty Brown explores Jesus' declaration of Lordship through the Sabbath controversy recorded in Luke 6. When Jesus and His disciples are confronted by Pharisees for plucking grain on the Sabbath, Christ responds by referencing David's actions and ultimately declaring Himself "Lord of the Sabbath"—a profound claim to divinity. Pastor Scotty unpacks how Jesus demonstrates that human need is more important than religious ritual, and that God's mercy always stands above the law. Through biblical insights and personal reflections, this message challenges us to recognize Jesus' supreme authority over all creation and to find true rest in relationship with Him rather than rigid religious observance. Be encouraged to worship the Lord of the Sabbath, who offers mercy, peace, and rest for your soul.
