Jesus Our Midnight Friend

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

In this chapter, Jesus talks about a midnight friend who shares his three loaves. Jesus is our midnight friend. We can go to our Jesus even at late night. Most of the time, when our friends visit us, we have nothing to offer them.

Why Was Jesus So Popular? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 18, 2023

This passage gives us insight into why Jesus became so popular so quickly. It also points out to us something that we emphasize in the modern American church that was not a part of Jesus' popularity.

VERSE 15 IS THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS PASSAGE: This is a story and testament to Jesus’ quickly rising popularity early in His ministry. - Luke 5:15. - It would be easy to see this passage as another miracle story, but I think it serves a more specific purpose in Luke’s gospel.

Have Great Faith In Jesus!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 21, 2023

Instead of telling us what faith is...the Bible shows! For our sermon together let’s focus our attention on the faith of one Canaanite woman as an example of “great faith.”

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Or perhaps you would come up with a string of synonyms for faith. You might say, ...read more

Jesus And His Prayer Life Series

We will look at the passage of scripture that tells us about when Jesus got up very early and got off by himself to pray.
