Jesus, The Great Prophet (Luke 7:11-16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 27, 2024

Jesus as the prophet like Moses (Deut. 18:18) is more important to Luke than most modern Christians. But Jesus as a prophet, sent by God, speaking God's words, is key to Luke-Acts. A narrative reading.

One of the kind of delightful things about the Bible, if you are a bit of a nerd, is the way that it echoes. Newer parts of the Bible-- the later biblical authors-- will often find themselves describing their own situations in ways that deliberately echo older biblical language. Or, that language ...read more

Tripping On Jesus (Luke 7:17-35) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 7, 2024

In one key way, Jesus isn't the Messiah people (including John) expected. Are we ok that this piece is missing, or does it make us trip on the idea that Jesus is Messiah, and thus trip on God? A narrative/literary approach to Luke.

Today, I'm going to try to tackle a few interconnected episodes. It's kind of a lot, but this whole section teaches one main thing, and if we want to hear that one thing, we need to grab it all at once. The simplest onramp to today's verses is to begin, simply, by rereading last ...read more

Elevate To The Next Level - "The People God Uses”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 29, 2025

One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.
