#112 Disciples of Gratitude

The account of the ten lepers in Luke allows us to see how the heart of a disciple needs to be one of gratitude for who Jesus is, and what he has done.

#111 The Forgiving Disciple

Beginning a mini-series today through chapter 17 of Luke to look at distinctions of a disciple. Today's focus is on how a disciple is to treat sin, whether in rebuking or forgiving. Both challenges that the disciples cry out for an increase in their faith. Jesus' response is to continue to have faith in the Word of God!

#110 Abraham's Bosom

Looking at the two destinations that Jesus describes in Luke 16, he is trying to cut through the hardheartedness of the Pharisees to desire wealth and worship something other than God. Jesus also continues to teach his disciples and the Pharisees about the Kingdom of God and the importance of repentance

#109 The Hard Teachings

Luke 16 and the dishonest manager is one of the hardest parables that Jesus told. How are we to understand it within context of what Jesus was teaching his disciples? It comes down to the master of your heart and what it is you value? Is God you hope above all?

#108 The Forgiving Father

Understanding the heart of the Father in the Prodigal Son parable is important for us as Christians as we continue the work of the Father in this lost world

#107 Lost Things

Looking at the first 2 parables of Luke 15 today shows us the awesome message that God rejoices when a sinner repents and is found! And that he is a seeking God, actively pursuing the lost.

#106 Counting the Cost

Salvation is a free gift of God, whereas discipleship is costly. Jesus lays out three distinctions for a disciple to consider before they follow him. Have you counted the cost?

#105 The Dinner Party

Jesus continues the theme of humility instead of seeking glory for the Pharisees. This will flip their ideas of honor and shame in their culture to expect glory or rewards at the judgement of the just, rather than the here and now.

#104 The Narrow Door

The world has many voices and options for people to choose and cater their own religious mentality. Jesus tells us that he is the Door, and the only entrance. His way his narrow, so strive to enter it. 

#103 The Glorious Kingdom

The Kingdom of God is greater and grander than we could ever expect. Jesus likens it to many things through his parables and we witness how our expectations limit the possibilities for us to understand more fully the glory of the Kingdom of God.
