Hosting Jesus, The Vip (Luke 7:36-50) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024

One host fails, but another rises up, and gives Jesus the welcome he deserves. The passage is an illustration of how and why people tripped on Jesus (Luke 7:31-35).

One of the things we've talked about several times in the gospel of Luke, is the idea of God "visiting" his people. That's a big part of today's message, so let's read Luke 1:68, to get us off on the right foot: I'll read from the RSV (and here, the translation ...read more

Gabriel's Visits (Luke 1a)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 22, 2024

Why did Gabriel visit two people before either John or Jesus were born? Let's look at Luke 1.

By what miracles were John the Baptist and Jesus born? Do even righteous people like Zechariah doubt and others like Mary simply believe? Let’s begin looking at Luke 1. What was the stated purpose of Luke, and who was it initially written to? Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a ...read more

Bringing A Sinner To Repentance - Luke 15:11-32 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 16, 2024

Our natural response to those in sin is to either be hostile toward them or ignore the sin to avoid an uncomfortable conversation. Both are unloving. God requires us to work at bringing the person to repentance, and this message is all about the various ways to accomplish that.

Luke 15:11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. 13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country ...read more

Why Are Jesus' Genealogies In Matthew And Luke Different?

Contributed by Steven W. Satterfield on Mar 21, 2023

From https://zondervanacademic.com/blog/why-are-jesus-genealogies-in-matthew-and-luke-different This post is adapted from the Four Portraits, One Jesus: Jesus’ Birth, Childhood, and Early Ministry, a free online course taught by Dr. Mark Strauss. My notes will be added later.

The birth narratives in both Matthew and Luke help answer the question, “Who is Jesus and where did he come from?” One of the ways each book does this is by recounting Jesus’ genealogy. The problem is: the genealogies are different. The Old Testament predicted that the Messiah would come from the ...read more

Luke 23:1-25 - Jesus Before Pilate

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 10, 2024

The Jewish leaders bring Jesus before Pilate. Pilate is already in hot water with Rome and his desire for self-preservation fulfills God's ultimate plan.

So we want to backtrack just a little bit into chapter 22 and pick up the last couple of verses because it's going to set the table for where we're going to be studying the last three trials that Jesus is going to go through on his way to the cross. Chapter 22 gave us the first three of ...read more

Luke 21:1-4 A Deeper Discussion Of Giving

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 10, 2024

The widow's offering. 4 verses, we often breeze through them and pull out a few tried and true statements about giving. But a deeper look gives many more principles to apply.

Here's what I want us to see: this is part of a bigger story. This isn't just a talk about giving, but it's a continuation of what's been happening with the scribes and Pharisees. To fully understand this set of verses, we actually have to back up to the last couple of verses of ...read more

Luke 6:12-16 - Choosing Of The 12 Apostles

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 12, 2024

After a dedicated time of retreat and prayer, Jesus chooses 12 from among his followers to be his ambassadors. Although none of them seem qualified, time has proven out their faithfulness to the call.

Some Sundays start out a little more hectic than others. Here I am, supposed to preach today, and I left my Bible at home. I was not off to a good start. Fortunately, my dear wife got it to me in time for the first service, but my brain has been a little mushy ever since. So, we're going to get ...read more

St. Luke, The Lord's Apostle And Physician

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

St. Luke—the Turk, the brother of Titus, Paul's personal physician, the historian, and the Evangelist—witnessed Jesus's miracles from a medical doctor's viewpoint and called Jesus the "physician."

Since COVID-19 gripped the world, the first responders such as paramedics, doctors, nurses, law enforcement officers and emergency department personnel have been hailed as heroes and heroines. Indeed, they are. Last Tuesday, I also became somewhat of a first responder when I was called out to ...read more

Your Money Or Your Life?

Contributed by Victor Yap on Jul 9, 2015

Rich Young Ruler

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE? (LUKE 18:18-27) Few Bible characters are richer than the ruler. Luke says he was very wealthy and Matthew and Mark says he had great possessions (KJV) in plural (Matt 19:22, Mark 10:22), to be compared to the singular possession Ananias donated to the church (Acts 5:1). ...read more
