Heed The Word

Send us Fan Mail From a priest struck silent to disciples who can’t stop praising, Luke’s story ends with a surge of clarity, courage, and joy—and a mandate that still reaches us. We walk through Jesus opening the scriptures in Luke 24, showing why the cross and resurrection weren’t tragic detours but the plan foretold in the Psalms and fulfilled in Him. That understanding flips the script on two...

Send us Fan Mail When the gospel gets reduced to “what do you want from life,” something vital is lost. We walk through Luke 24 and listen as Jesus opens the Scriptures, showing how the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms pointed to a Messiah who must suffer, rise on the third day, and send His people to preach repentance and the remission of sins to all nations. From the first promise in Genesis to...

Send us Fan Mail A knock at the door can change everything. We follow the Emmaus road in Luke 24, where confusion meets clarity and two weary travelers discover why the Messiah had to suffer before glory. Along the way, we look squarely at sin, hear the promise of intercession, and let ancient prophecies do their steady work—moving from theory to trust as pierced hands come into view. This isn’t a...

Send us Fan Mail Start with heartbreak on a dusty road and end with a burning heart. We retrace the Emmaus conversation in Luke 24, where two confused disciples voice their pain and Jesus answers by opening the Scriptures. Instead of platitudes, he offers a guided tour from Moses through the Prophets that shows why the Messiah had to suffer before entering glory—and how that plan was written long...

Send us Fan Mail Doubt doesn’t evaporate with wishful thinking; it breaks when reality walks through a locked door. We follow that turning point from Luke 24 into a sweeping look at why the resurrection sits at the very center of Christian faith—and why it still remakes lives today. We unpack the disciples’ initial disbelief and the bold courage that followed, connecting their transformation to ey...

Send us Fan Mail Grief can make even a sunrise look gray, and that’s exactly where two followers found themselves as they left Jerusalem after the crucifixion. We walk that same road with them and a mysterious Stranger who asks a disarming question, listens to their heartbreak, and then opens the Scriptures to show why the cross had to come before the crown. What unfolds is a vivid, step-by-step j...

Send us Fan Mail Hope begins where the stone was moved. We walk through Luke 24 and watch the morning unfold: women arrive with spices, find the tomb open, and hear the angels’ bracing words, why seek the living among the dead. From there, we map the eyewitness trail through Matthew and Mark, noting the very human mix of fear, silence, running, and wonder. The detail many overlook becomes a pillar...

Send us Fan Mail A taunt at the cross becomes the hinge of hope: “He saved others; Himself He could not save.” We unpack why that line is not mockery but the heartbeat of the gospel, showing how Jesus’ refusal to come down became the only path for our rescue. Walking through Luke 23, we trace the scene from jeers to a quiet miracle beside Him: one thief moves from contempt to confession, naming hi...

Send us Fan Mail What looks like weakness from the crowd’s view is actually the fiercest kind of strength. We walk through Luke 23 with clear eyes: a governor who admits he finds no fault, soldiers who mock, leaders who demand a sign, and a Savior who refuses the shortcut. The tension peaks at a single demand—“Save yourself”—and the gospel’s answer is stunning. If Jesus comes down, love loses. If...

Send us Fan Mail A crowd demands Barabbas, Pilate calls Jesus innocent, and then caves to the loudest voices. We walk through Luke 23 with clear eyes, exploring how fear of man, hunger for approval, and the love of ease can bend a conscience until justice breaks. Along the way, we hold up a mirror: where are we trading what is right for what is easy, and what happens to our souls when we do? We al...

Send us Fan Mail A night of mockery gives way to a morning of politics as Jesus is pressed by religious leaders, examined by Pilate, and paraded before Herod—yet he never trades truth for theater. We walk through Luke 22–23 to see how false charges morph from blasphemy to treason, why Pilate’s tangled history leaves him cautious yet convinced of Jesus’ innocence, and how Herod’s craving for a mira...

Send us Fan Mail The room is ready, the cup is poured, and the question hangs in the air: what does greatness look like when the King kneels with a towel? Walking through Luke 22, we follow Jesus from a house filled with the aroma of worship to a table set for flawed friends—a betrayer, a denier, a doubter—whom He still calls family. Pastor Ken draws a sharp line between sifting that strengthens a...

Send us Fan Mail What if the loudest headlines are not the most important signals? We walk through Luke 21 and 2 Thessalonians to face wars, disasters, and deception with clear minds and steady hearts. Instead of panic, Jesus gives a pattern: love the truth, refuse fear, and treat pressure as an occasion for testimony. That shift changes how we read the news, handle conflict, and speak when called...

Send us Fan Mail Start with the outside or start with the heart? We take on one of Jesus’ sharpest confrontations—His woes to the scribes and Pharisees—and trace why polished religion can still hide spiritual rot. From tithing tiny spices to neglecting justice, mercy, and faith, we unpack the memorable images of straining gnats and swallowing camels, cleansing the outside of the cup, and whitewash...

Send us Fan Mail A single question in the temple rewires the way we see Jesus: how can the Christ be both David’s son and David’s Lord? We follow that thread from Psalm 110 to Revelation 22 and watch the pieces click into place—Messiah is not only descended from David but the very root of David’s line. That insight doesn’t sit in a museum; it challenges the authority we follow, the rituals we trus...

Send us Fan Mail What if looking righteous is the very thing keeping you from being changed? We take a hard look at Jesus’ scathing words to the Pharisees and uncover why the “weightier matters”—justice, mercy, and faith—are the true markers of a life anchored in God. From tithing spices to whitewashed tombs, we unpack how easy it is to major in minors, curate a spotless image, and miss the one qu...

Send us Fan Mail Start with a riddle that rewrites expectations: how can the Messiah be both David’s Son and David’s Lord? We open Luke 20 alongside Psalm 110 and trace the thread to Revelation 22, where Jesus names Himself the Root and Offspring of David. That single claim dismantles shallow categories and reframes what spiritual authority really means. If Christ outranks David, He outranks our t...

Send us Fan Mail If faith could talk, it might ask why we work so hard on our image while leaving the heart undone. We open the text where Jesus pronounces woes on the Pharisees and sit with the uncomfortable contrast: meticulous tithing of spices alongside a neglect of justice, mercy, and faith. From straining out gnats to swallowing camels, from polished cups to whitewashed tombs, we explore how...

Send us Fan Mail A single question in the temple stops the smartest people in their tracks: how can the Messiah be both the Son of David and David’s Lord? We walk through Psalm 110 and Revelation 22 to see why Jesus claims both the root and the offspring of David, and how that claim changes the way we think about authority, worship, and the heart behind our devotion. From there, we confront a hard...

Send us Fan Mail What if death doesn’t get the final word? We open Scripture to follow a thread of hope from Moses at the burning bush to Paul’s soaring promise that death is swallowed up in victory, and we ask what changes when eternity becomes more than an idea. Together we explore how God calls Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—long after their earthly lives—signaling that He is the...

Send us Fan Mail What if our culture only says it believes in heaven—but lives as if it doesn’t exist? We open with a clear-eyed look at youth obsession, health chasing, and the fear of death, then trace those anxieties back to a thinner view of the afterlife. From there we walk into the Gospels, where Jesus dismantles a trap from the Sadducees by exposing the root problem: not knowing the Scriptu...

Send us Fan Mail When law, leadership, and conscience collide, where do we draw the line? We open Scripture to trace a clear, grounded path through Romans 13, 1 Peter 2, Acts 4, and the book of Daniel, showing how Christians can be the best citizens of their cities without surrendering the lordship of Christ. We talk candidly about taxes, workplace pressures, and honoring even difficult bosses, th...

Send us Fan Mail A single coin changed the conversation. When rivals tried to corner Jesus with a yes-or-no question about taxes, He held up a denarius and gave an answer that still shapes how we live under flawed power: render to Caesar what bears his image, and to God what bears His. We take that insight beyond the temple courts into our streets and workplaces, where authority isn’t abstract—it’...

Send us Fan Mail A single question sits under every line of this teaching: will we receive Jesus as Lord, not only as Savior? We start where the Gospel starts—grace, not performance. Good deeds, attendance, and giving cannot secure what only the Lamb of God provides. But grace is not vague. It comes with a name and an authority, and that authority calls us from mere words to real obedience. We fol...

Send us Fan Mail A tense question echoes through the temple: By what authority are you doing these things? We walk into that charged moment in Luke 20 as the chief priests and elders confront Jesus, and watch Him turn the tables with a single piercing question about John the Baptist. What follows isn’t a debate tactic; it’s a heart test that forces everyone—then and now—to decide whether truth com...
