Bent, Barren, and Set Free (Luke 13:1-17)

Oct 4, 2026  •  Peter Voorhees

When tragedy strikes, why do we so quickly ask, "What did they do to deserve that?" This Sunday in Luke 13, Jesus hears that question and turns it back on the crowd: not "Why them?" but "What about you?" Through two headline tragedies, a fig tree given one more year, and a woman bent over for eighteen years, Jesus dismantles the lie that suffering is a scorecard and reminds us that our time is a gift not to be wasted. If you know someone who's been carrying the weight of "What did I do wrong?", bring them this Sunday, because they need to hear Jesus say "No."
