Would You Ask Jesus To Leave?

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jun 23, 2013

When we cling to and refuse to forsake sin, habits, and less than admirable behavior, we are asking Jesus to leave us. Jesus wants to "cast out" those behaviors in our life if we'll let him.

If you are familiar with “The Andy Griffith” show, you may remember the loveable character named Otis. He was well known around town as being “the town drunk.” He was harmless and seemed to be more of a town mascot. However, this was not the case in our story in Luke. ...read more

Jesus, The Demon-Slayer

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 15, 2015

Every single one of us will find it necessary to offer the courage of endurance throughout our lives. The easiest way for evil to win is not through bombs or bullets, but through the slow erosion of commitment and courage to stand against the current.

God Is Love, And We Are Not

Contributed by Randall Long on May 30, 2019

A lot of us go through life with a watered-down idea of what God's love is. We will look at two incidents from the Gospel of Luke in which someone met that love face to face to help us understand both His love and His holiness.

There is a saying that appears a few times in the Old Testament. Proverbs 9:10 puts it like this: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". Other verses use slightly different wording, but they all declare the value of the "fear of the LORD". I was troubled by that ...read more

What Makes Us Uncomfortable

Contributed by Richard Stevens on Oct 18, 2023

There are people and situations that make us uncomfortable. Rather than avoiding those people or situations, what should be our response to them? How should we handle them? Fortunately, we have an example in the Gospel of Luke to guide us.

INTRODUCTION In my opinion, I think we can boil those that make us uncomfortable down to, basically two kinds of people - CRAZY people and NAKED people. In Luke 8:26-39, we see that Jesus met a man who was both. CRAZY and NAKED. “ And they arrived at the country of the ...read more

Clothed And In His Right Mind – Released And Free Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022

He lurked in the tombs of dead men and rushed out uncontrollably. This naked, demonic man scared all around but once delivered by Jesus he was a new creation, clothed and in his right mind. He became a witness for the gospel. This is an interesting study of the man.
