Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 19, 2006

In this study we take a wider view of the first 15 chapters of Luke, and see how Jesus mission in chapter 4 works out in His life, and in yours.

Each of us has to serve somebody. Jesus in Luke 16 gives us some real incentive to make the Lord God our only God.

Stepping Out For God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 19, 2007

Before God took the children of Israel into the Promised Land they needed to commit to Him, with no turning back. God, in turn, provided a way to do the impossible. When God calls us and we step out for Him, he comes through for us too.

After the preparation of Joshua as a leader, the encouragement to do what God had commanded - to take the land, and the spying out of that land to find out that the enemy seemed powerful but was frightened of God. After that is where the rubber meets the road, or in this case, the feet meet the ...read more

Years ago there was an ad campaign by a certain maker of bread: "Wonder, it builds a body 12 ways" or something like that.

Though this is true I think we also judge people by how they say words and where they come from. We hear an accent in someone and we think "Deep ...read more
