This Sunday (March 30, 2025)


Scripture: Luke 6:12-19

12 Now during those days he went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. 13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles: 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot, 16 and Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17 He came down with them and stood on a level place with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them.

Please join us after lunch on Sunday

to talk about this passage from the Bible, especially the questions it raises for us. We'd love to have you send in your questions using the "My Questions" box on this page.

When reading Scripture, it is helpful to:

  1. Read the passage in more than one translation of the Bible. BibleGateway.com is a great resource for this. This article published by BibleGateway will help you understand how different translations compare to each other. At Walmer, we usually read from the NRSV.
  2. Read an interlinear version of the passage. This shows the Greek or Hebrew text with the English translation immediately below, word-for-word. It also provides resources to better understand the grammar in the original languages and how that grammar affects meaning.

My Questions

Use this form to submit questions raised as you read this Sunday's Bible passage. Then, stay after lunch on Sunday for our discussion group as we dig into the passage further, answering those questions not addressed in the sermon as well as those raised by the sermon.

Introducing Jesus and Those Who Follow Him (Jan. 5 - Apr. 13/25)

Jesus is the beloved Son of God, sent by God to do God's work in the world. In this series of sermons we'll be exploring Luke's gospel to help us better understand who Jesus is and what God's work in the world looks like. As we do so, we'll be challenged to consider what it means to follow Jesus.
