Do you ever wonder what it is all about? Do you wonder what you are working for? Why do you do what you do? That is at the heart of what we are looking at today in Luke 12:13-48.

...this calling is too much for us to do on our own - we are just too sinful, too weak and too selfish. So what do we need to do? We must pray. We need to learn to sit at the feet of Jesus and pray. We can’t run around with hyperactivity (like...

“What does it mean to love my neighbor as a follower of Christ?”. That is what we are going to look at today. What does it mean to love our neighbor as a follower of Christ. Let’s work through the parable and at the end we’ll pull out two implications.

5 Actions for reaching Shreveport and the World

We are going to study the true Christmas story, recorded in Luke 2, and we are going to write down three truths that help us focus on what the Christmas story really focuses on. Three Truths of the Christmas Story. I hope you’ll write them down and...

The Lord wants us to enjoy peace. But the Bible is also clear that we live in a world with endless real threats. In this life we are going to constantly be battling fear in the face of storms. So, though the Lord wants you to enjoy His peace you...

Today we come to Luke 8:1-21 - the parable of the sower or the parable of the soils. This parable is all about being a good listener. In these verses we see that God expects His disciples to be good listeners of His Word. In these few verses Jesus...

Today, Luke is going to confront us with a decision. Luke is going to challenge us to respond to the evidence that points to Jesus being the Messiah.

Now, today, as I said Jesus basically is going to tell us talk is cheap. What does that mean? It means it is easy to say you are going to do something but what is more important is if you actually follow through with your actions. Jesus is teaching...

Today, we look at 6:27-38. In these verses Jesus continues to equip his disciples with his values and lifestyle. In particular Jesus addresses how we should behave toward those people who persecute us because of Jesus. We will look at two things...

Now, today, as we continue our study of Luke we see Jesus establishing his church planting core team if you will. Out of his disciples he calls a leadership team of twelve men and he begins to equip them for their work. My prayer is that the Lord...

Today we are going to try to understand what Jesus means in these parables about cloths and wineskins....I think most of us have a negative opinion of the Pharisees because a lot of times when Jesus is speaking to them in the Bible He is correcting...

Today we are going to look at Luke 4:31-44 and in these verses Luke records several events in Jesus’s life that make it clear that Jesus carries in Himself the very authority of God Almighty. My prayer is that God will use these verses to humble us...

Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth to teach in the synagogue. In reading Isaiah 61, Jesus claims that he is the fulfillment of the old testament prophecy. In their pride, the people of Nazareth reject Jesus. In today's sermon, Kevin...

We are going to look at three temptations and in each one we will look at the nature of the temptation, Jesus’ response to the temptation, and finally the lesson from the temptation.

In these verses we see three more testimonies that Jesus is the Son of God: John the Baptist, God (at the Baptism), and the Genealogy. I want to focus on John’s role to learn what we can about our role as witnesses.

We are only two chapters in and Jesus is only twelve years old and already we are confronted with the evidence that Jesus is great. He is the Son of the Most High and God has given to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the...
