Contributed by William Baeta on Jan 8, 2007

“John answered saying to all, ‘I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire’” Luke 3:16.

Today is the first Sunday in 2007 and what better way to begin it than with the Holy Spirit. We all need the Holy Spirit since we are spiritual beings and can only function when we are spiritually alive. Our spiritual life comes from the Holy Spirit and a person without the Holy Spirit is ...read more

Peace & Fire

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Aug 15, 2010

In Luke 12 Jesus asks His disciples if they think He came to bring peace on earth and then - without giving them a chance to respond - He makes; what to me seems like a shocking statement, “No, I tell you, but division.”

It's A Wonder-Filled Life

Contributed by Mark Otero on Dec 21, 2010

A Christmas message. Most people have no problem getting up for Christmas but what about the day after? This message is based on Luke 2:20 from what I see as the shepherds return to "normal" after God has broken into their lives.

"It's A Wonder-filled Life" Luke 2:20 "Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them." Intro: Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" is, by far, my all time favorite Christmas movie. George Bailey finds out that even ...read more

"The Ministry Of Availability"

Contributed by Ray Scott on Nov 2, 2004

God will use what we make available to Him. In the passage in Luke 5:1-11, we see that, even with a smelly, old fishing boat and a broken net, Jesus used what Peter made available for Him to use.

On The Way To Jerusalem

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on May 10, 2015

A perspective on Luke 19: On the road to Jerusalem, Jesus stopped to give life to others according to their needs. Jesus teaches that we all need to stop from time to time and give life to someone in need. In this way we live in his kingdom.

On The Way To Jerusalem Introduction “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord” (v.38), so shouted the expectant crowd that surrounded Jesus as he made his way to Jerusalem. The subject of that verse clearly expresses a major theme of chapter 19. The Gospel writer, Luke ...read more

Happiness In Sorrow Series
