Sometimes we can convince ourselves that Jesus’ teaching is all about being nice and compliant in life. But niceness and compliance is rarely the way of love! In our next passage in the book of Luke Jesus outlines the cost of being a disciple; to give up all that we have, pick up our cross and follow Him. Challenging words!  What does Jesus mean when He says we are to ‘give up’ all that we ha...

Be dressed and ready for action Luke 12 v 35-48 contains a parable of some irresponsible servants.

In this parable Jesus is teaching of the coming judgement, when Christ shall return to judge the living and the dead. But who...
