luke24a-jacob Luke does not develop theological arguments on the resurrection of Christ; rather, he gives the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Luke23-M-David-Final-Revised The most difficult thing in life is forgiveness. Especially when we are so deeply hurt and wounded by someone’s sin or crime, it is almost impossible for us to forgive them in our own human love. But today we are going to learn that when it was the mostRead More →

luke22b-sam Even now, Jesus is interceding for us as our faithful High Priest, offering prayers to God on our behalf (Romans 8:34). So when you do suffer, don’t be afraid to pray “painful prayers.” Don’t be afraid to pray tearful prayers. Don’t be afraid to pour your heart out toRead More →

luke22a-so-rev4 Jesus came to this world and shed his precious blood, and made a new covenant. When we simply believe in Jesus, we enter into his covenant of grace. It is characterized by God’s words, “I will…I will.” (Jeremiah 31:31-34 ) It is based solely on God’s faithfulness. It isRead More →

luke9b-so-rev5 At some point, Jesus will ask each of us, “Who do you say I am?” This is life’s most important question we all need to answer. Our destiny depends on our answer. This question is one that requires much thought and can only come from you. No one canRead More →

luke9a-so-rev4 Jesus’ command, “You give them something to eat” is simply a restatement of the great commission, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” (Mk 16:15) If we give Jesus what we have, he can multiply it to feed the spiritually hungry multitude. WeRead More →

luke8d-so-rev2 Belief and love are connected so that when it says in the Apostle’s Creed, “I believe,” it means, “I give my heart to.” So “believe” means to have trust and confidence in someone. When Jesus says, “just believe,” it means that Jesus can do what he said he wouldRead More →

luke8dq-rev Probably this man’s real name had been forgotten long ago by others, and even by himself. People did not regard him as a human being. They called him a demon-possessed guy or monster on the hill. But Jesus saw him as a human being, created by God in God’sRead More →

luke8b_sam Jesus teaches us to “consider carefully HOW you listen.” So how exactly do you respond to God’s word? Are you “selectively hearing” the word of God for the bits you agree with or are you listening to His word in its fullness? When you hear God’s word, do youRead More →

luke8a-so-rev3 Through the parable of the sower, Jesus proclaimed the kingdom of God. Jesus did not explain the meaning of parables. To those with no spiritual insight, it was just an interesting story about farming. But to those who want to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, itRead More →

luke7c-so-rev3 Most people when they read this passage identify it as the story of the immoral woman. But it is in fact the story of Jesus evangelizing a Pharisee, who is the worst of sinners. The worst possible sinner, the most unredeemable of all, is the one who thinks heRead More →

luke7b-so-rev4   God’s way started with John the Baptist’s ministry of repentance and baptism. God’s way had then shifted to Jesus.
