    Begins Teaching Return To Jerusalem With Special Words About Herod Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 11, 2017
     | 8,199 views

    God’s kingdom is at work in this world, but many people fail to take advantage of their opportunities. Instead of entering the kingdom, some people only ask questions about it. Salvation is not a theory to discuss; it is a miracle to experience.

    Perea Lesson: Begins Teaching Return to Jerusalem with Special Words About Herod (Psalm 6:8) Luke 13:22-35 God’s kingdom is at work in this world, but many people fail to take advantage of their opportunities. Instead of entering the kingdom, some people only ask questions about it. Salvation ...read more

     | 1,637 views

    There is a saying, “The nearer the Church, the farther from God”.

    In Readers Digest, David Barman, from North Miami Beach, Florida, wrote that at the university where he teaches, the school has a policy of giving a + designation for grades. A 78 is a C+, an 89 is a B+. A student received his final grade and was adamant that I left off the plus sign. I looked ...read more

     | 42 views

    If church membership and belonging to the Kingdom of God is valuable then why is church membership declining

    How Valuable Is Being Part of the Church? Luke 13:22-30 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 13:22 And He was passing through one city and village after another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And ...read more

    What Does It Mean To "make Every Effort" To Enter The Kingdom? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 10, 2025
     | 61 views

    This passage has two troubling phrases: "make every effort" and "try . . . and not be able." What are we to do with those? And do they mean that God is setting up difficult barriers to get into the Kingdom?

    WHAT DOES "MAKE EVERY EFFORT" MEAN? It doesn’t mean that it’s nearly impossible but that you should focus your attention. - Luke 13:22-24a. - Jesus is asked an important question: “[A]re only a few people going to be saved?” (v. 23). - That's a great question. What is the nature of ...read more

    The Moment To Decide

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 2, 2024
     | 351 views

    Every generation has a defining moral question, often between life and death, but always between good and evil. In the nineteenth century, it was for the right to choose ownership of other humans, or against the exploitation of slaves.

    Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more

    Discipline And The Joy Of Following Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 19, 2025
     | 231 views

    We must all accept discipline so that we will receive the “peaceful fruit of righteousness” owed to those who are trained by discipline.

    Twenty-first Sunday in Course 2025 As a teacher, I used to tell my students there’s a good way to find out what the teacher finds important in a lesson. Here’s the rule: write down anything the teacher says more than once. That’s what is likely to be on the test. Today St. Luke shares a question ...read more

    Enter Through The Narrow Door!

     | 584 views

    In this Gospel Lesson we hear our Savior speak words of warning and encouragement. Jesus said that there is only one way to enter heaven. He said that we should make every effort to: “ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW DOOR”

    “How do you get into heaven?” A Sunday school teacher asked that question of her 2nd grade class. It seemed like a simple question for a group of little Lutherans. But no hands went up. Silence. Crickets. The teacher was confident that the students knew the answer, so she waited patiently. ...read more

    The Sour Grapes Lie

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025
     | 139 views

    God invites every person to abandon blame, own today’s choices, and trust His grace to build a brand-new future.

    The Broken Fence One spring morning a man discovered that the white picket fence behind his house had fallen over in the night. His first instinct was to blame last winter’s storms, the neighbor’s leaning tree, even the builder who had put the fence up years earlier. But as he inspected it more ...read more

    What Counts In Your Life

     | 72 views

    Jesus tells us that we should strive to enter by the narrow gate in answer to the question Lord are there few who are saved?

    I would like to focus on one verse today 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. I wonder what counts most in our lives? Story: The son of a wealthy man expected to receive a sports car for his graduation. Instead his Dad ...read more

    It is not so much a matter of how few will be saved, as how long the gate will be open.

    THE NARROW GATE. Luke 13:22-30. LUKE 13:22. Jesus was on a journey to Jerusalem. It was a journey with a particular purpose. We are told back in Luke 9:51 that ‘when the time was come that He should be received up, He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.’ Jesus was steadfast in His ...read more
