Faith, The Birth Of John The Baptist. Series

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Dec 7, 2023

Luke's eye witness account of John the Baptist's birth is a wonderful account, Isaiah 40 fore told and now made real.

The words that follow from Isaiah 40 are a kind of celebration of faith in that Isaiah was proclaiming a time of comfort for the people of Israel. Isaiah forecast a messenger who would make a way for the Messiah. Isaiah 40:1-5 & 9-11 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak ...read more

Peace On Earth, Good Will Towards Men

Contributed by Charles Trout on Jun 20, 2001

CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!! To our shame we often limit Luke chapter 2 to the Christmas season when in fact verse 14 gives us daily and eternal peace!

Luke 2:13-14 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Doing A Day With God Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on May 5, 2003

Three principles from the classic Mary/Martha story in Luke 10 to help us slow down the pace of life and learn to walk with God day-by day.

Futurist David Zach called what we do “hyperliving.” We want to do more and more things in less and less time. Some of us carry around planners as tall as Terminal Tower. We say things like. “OK kids, let’s see who can take a bath fastest!” We buy time saving gadgets and don’t have the time to ...read more

Avoiding The Distortions

Contributed by Colin Thornby on Nov 6, 2010

Just like the Sadducees, we can selectively read scripture and so make false and disastrous assumptions about Christ and his call (Luke 20:27-40)

One of the curious things about religious people is that they can develop very fixed ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more

People Matter To God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 14, 2006

Because people matter to God, they should matter to us. In Jesus’ three stories from Luke 15, we learn just how much people matter to God.

A. One day, an antique collector was walking through the city when he noticed a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he did a double take. 1.
