Lectionary: The Road to Emmaus April 19, 2026

Pastor Mike preaches from Luke 24 (the road to Emmaus) that Jesus meets people in “wilderness” seasons of grief, confusion, and disorientation—often before they can recognize what he’s doing. He highlights three places Jesus commonly reveals himself: as believers walk together and talk about him, through Scripture as Jesus “opens” it to them, and at the table in the breaking of bread (communion). When Jesus reveals himself, it leads to action—like the disciples who immediately turn back to Jerusalem to tell others—because Jesus doesn’t meet us so we can stay the same.
