Luke 21 has one of my favorite stories in it. We have talked about it just recently. Luke 21:1-4 “21 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3 And he said, Of a truth I…

The religious leaders of Jesus day were out to destroy Him. They were against Him and came to Him with questions designed to trip Him up. They demanded that He tell them by what authority that He worked under. He answered their inquiries with wisdom. Luke 20:9-18 “9 Then began he to speak to the…

We need Jesus. Salvation comes through Him alone, not our good works. This parable in Luke 18 demonstrates our need for the Savior as well as our necessity in recognizing that need. Luke 18:9-14 “9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 Two men…

As I have gone through my health challenges and isolation, I have often longed for deeper faith. I read of the great heroes of the faith both in the Bible and in stories of great Christians and long to be like them. I see Jesus’ example in Scripture and long to be more like Him.…

I remember hearing a story once of a bed-ridden quadriplegic. Each morning, she prayed through a prayer list posted above her bed. Or, there were the two sisters who earnestly prayed daily for God to send revival to their town. God answered. Or, there is the widow in Mark 12:41-44 who gave her two mites…

Oh Luke 15 is so reassuring and comforting. Jesus gives three parables that show how much He loves us and to what lengths He will go to find us. What rejoicing there is when we come back to Him. The religious leaders were complaining because Jesus was eating with sinners. Jesus told parables to show…

God cares for those who are “outcast,” disabled, and perhaps forgotten. Isn’t that good news? Luke 14:12-14 “12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again,…

Luke 13 is rich with so much. As I was reading it, the second to the last verse stood out to me. “34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under…

Jesus. We have been seeing that He was more than just a baby as we walk through Luke. Honestly, we could take months going through the life of Christ Jesus in Luke. As always, I encourage you to read all of Luke 12. We are going to focus on Luke 12:22-34. Today, we see two…

Luke 10 has so much in it. For the sake of time, we are going to look briefly at three different parts of it. I encourage you to read meditate on the entire chapter. Jesus is giving instruction which applies to our lives. Luke 10:2, “2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great,…
