On this episode Jason, Nate, and Noah discuss this last Sunday's message on Luke 9:43-50.

What does it mean to be great in the Kingdom of God? In Luke 9:43–50, Jesus challenges His disciples to rethink everything they believe about greatness. While they argue over status and recognition, Jesus points them toward humility, service, and celebrating what God is doing through others. As Jesus begins His journey toward the cross, He reminds us that true greatness isn't found in elevating ou...

Jason, Nate, and Josh discuss this last Sunday's message based on the healing of the Demon-Possessed Boy recorded in Luke 9:37–43

In Luke 9:37–43, Jesus comes down from the mountain to find a desperate father, a suffering child, and disciples who have failed to do what He empowered them to do. Their failure reveals a struggle we all face: trusting in our own abilities or doubting what God can do through us. But the greatness of Jesus isn't just revealed in His power to heal. It's revealed in His patience with those who conti...

Jason, Nate, and Chase discuss this last Sunday's message based on the transfiguration recorded in Luke 9:28-36

Who is Jesus, really? Is He simply a great teacher, a prophet, or someone chosen by God? Or is He something far greater? In Luke 9, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a mountain, where they witness something extraordinary. For a brief moment, the glory of Jesus is revealed, Moses and Elijah appear, and the voice of God declares, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” The Transfigu...

Who is Jesus? It’s a question everyone must answer, but our understanding of Jesus is often shaped more by our culture, experiences, and personal preferences than by God’s Word. In Luke 9:18–27, Jesus challenges His disciples to recognize who He truly is, what He came to accomplish, and what it means to follow Him. Jay Greer reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about making Him fit our expectatio...

When Jesus feeds thousands of people with just five loaves and two fish, He does far more than satisfy their hunger. He uses an impossible situation to teach His disciples a powerful lesson about faith, obedience, and trusting in His provision. In Luke 9:10–17, we see that Jesus can take what little we have and use it to make a tremendous difference in the lives of others. Rather than simply meeti...

Jesus didn’t just call the twelve—He equipped them and sent them. They were told to go without the resources they would normally depend on, trust God to provide, proclaim the good news, and remain faithful even when people rejected their message. In Luke 9:1–9, we’re reminded that Jesus still calls His people to kingdom work today. We don’t have to be capable enough on our own, control how others...

On this episode of Becoming Better, Nate, Josh, and Corey sit down to talk about the last 2 messages. If you missed this past sermon or want to revisit it, you can always look back one episode to help get the most out of today's conversation.

In Luke 8:40–56, Jesus encounters two desperate people: a woman who has suffered for twelve years with an illness no one could heal, and a father whose twelve-year-old daughter is dying. One woman is considered unclean. One girl is beyond healing because death has already come. But neither is beyond the authority of Jesus. The woman reaches out to Jesus in faith and is made clean. Jairus is told n...

In Luke 8:26–39, Jesus crosses the Sea of Galilee and comes face to face with a man whose life has been completely devastated by evil. He is isolated, tormented, living among the tombs, and beyond anyone else’s ability to help. But he is not beyond Jesus. The demons immediately recognize who Jesus is and know they are completely under His authority. With a word, Jesus sets the man free and begins...

In Luke 8:22–25, Jesus and His disciples find themselves in the middle of a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples are terrified. Jesus is asleep. But when they wake Him, Jesus simply speaks—and the wind and waves obey.    The point of this story isn’t merely that Jesus can calm the storms in our lives. Luke wants us to wrestle with the same question the disciples asked: “Who is this?”...

It’s possible to hear God’s Word, agree with it, and even know it well without ever allowing it to change the way we live. In Luke 8:19–21, Jesus makes a startling statement about who belongs to His family: those who hear God’s Word and put it into practice. Following Jesus isn’t defined by our proximity to Him, how often we attend church, or how much Bible knowledge we have. The evidence of caref...

Jesus warns His disciples to consider carefully how they listen. Hearing God’s Word is not enough—the way we receive it will eventually be revealed by what it produces in our lives. In Luke 8:16–18, Jesus continues His teaching about the soils by showing that genuine transformation cannot remain hidden. When God’s Word takes root in a receptive heart, it produces visible fruit. But just as true tr...

Everyone wants to believe they are the good soil, but Jesus gives us clear markers of a heart that truly receives His Word. In Luke 8:4–15, we see that good soil doesn’t simply hear the truth—it holds onto it, perseveres through difficulty, and trusts God to produce the crop. When following Jesus gets hard and quitting feels easier, genuine faith keeps clinging to what God has said and refuses to...

Faith rarely disappears overnight. In Luke 8:4-15, Jesus warns that the worries of life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the pursuit of pleasure can slowly grow around God’s Word until our faith becomes unfruitful. The question isn’t simply whether the Word has taken root in your life, but what may be growing alongside it—and what needs to be pulled before it chokes out what God is growing in you...
