Luke 17:20-37 invites us to live in a constant state of readiness, letting go of worldly attachments and embracing a life focused on God's Kingdom. Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God is not something far off or merely future; it begins within us now.   Let’s commit ourselves to deeper spiritual awareness and preparation. Take time this week to:  Examine anything that might distract you from who...

In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus teaches us about the significance of gratitude through the healing of ten lepers, proving how thankfulness can transform our hearts and lives.

Jesus has very specific, and sometimes very hard, instructions on how we are to forgive one another and restore relationship with each other. It requires faith that is rooted in Him to be able to follow His Word more every day.

GAL RICH MAN and LAZARUS Luke 16:19-31 "You only live once", is a phrase that encourages people to: Make the most of their lives, Embrace new experiences, And take risks. It suggests that life is short and finite, so it's important to live fully, be adventurous, and not let opportunities pass by. Some interpret "You only live once" as a call to act impulsively or indulge in pleasures without consi...

There are no excuses that will limit what God desire to do and can do in your life!

This is not an easy topic to talk about because it is particularly painful and devastating and at the very same time, it is a needful topic to talk about because I am very sure, in your life, in your family, among your colleagues, among your friends, there will be people who have experienced divorce and are going through the pains of divorce. Why? MARRIAGE IS A MAN AND A WOMAN WITH SIN NATURES DOI...

Today, I would like for us to study a church that went viral, a New Testament congregation that grew by leaps and bounds. I am referring to the church in the ancient city of Antioch, and the first reference to the church in that city is found in Acts 11:19-30. The congregation “went viral”. From secular history, we are told that by the time of the Nicene Council in 325 AD, there were more than 200...

The Bible speaks about finances more than you might think. Jesus explains how we are to utilize the wealth found in the world to further His Kingdom and store up eternal reward.

JESUS INVITES MAN’S EXCLUDED TO BECOME HIS INCLUDED Today’s parable is a familiar one. The parable of the Prodigal Son, or the Lost Son. Where Luke 15:1-10 depicts Jesus as the seeking of the lost, Luke 15:11-32 depict Jesus as the receiver of the lost. He welcomes the one who comes to Him in search of redemption, security and hope. JESUS RECEIVES THOSE WHO SEEK. WHY DOES THIS MATTER? This matters...

In these parables God is revealing both His desire to reach those He loves that are lost as well as highlighting his active seeking to bring people into Biblical community. It is so good that God seeks us to save us and bring us into His family. Many of us are familiar with these parables. The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son are parables that share something of the character of God....

IF WE WANT TO “ABIDE IN CHRIST” WE MUST LIVE AS JESUS LIVED. A seed produces grain of its own kind. Christ produces men and women who are like Him. The seed that Christ sowed lives in His people. Fruitful believers yield to sacrifice for others. We cannot live for self and become fruitful with our lives. To live for self is to undermine who we are in Christ. There is a joy in willing sacrificial s...

Psalm 119:1-8  Every family has family expectations.  The family's culture is often determined by how their leaders determine what is important.  In my home there are certain values we have that my children have adopted that make our relationships easier to navigate.  Janet and I have set what you could call the laws of our home.  God does the same thing with those in His family.  The Bible is...

In Colossians 4 Paul stresses the importance of prayer. Paul sees prayer not only as a lifestyle for the Colossians to adopt or develop, and he realizes his need for prayer.  Is prayer a priority in my life?   Prayer is an essential, transformative practice for believers. To pray is to seek God’s will, love Him, and have clarity in mission.  Life Application Points:  Prioritize prayer daily for sp...

In His story, Jesus is rebuking those who are making excuses. Instead of simply admitting they don’t want to come, they justify their lack of response. Most excuses are phony. The excuses Jesus describes here are no exception.   All those invited gave excuses for not attending the banquet celebration. All the excuses were supposedly valid in that they were occupied with legitimate concerns, but un...

The word humility appears various times throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments. Where we read about humility, we see that this trait is something God desires for His people. Humility is beneficial for us, for God, and for those around us. There is no verbatim definition given in Scripture like we would find in a dictionary. However, through the word’s usage, we can glean a good un...

Jesus was always pointing people to the Father. In this short passage He does that by explaining that it is more important to take compassion on others than it is to obey man's laws.

As is so often the case, a good thing can be perverted and end up causing great harm.   This can be true of compassion when it is misunderstood and misapplied. Christians can often forget that while compassion towards people is warranted, compassion to various ideas, lifestyles, actions, beliefs, and worldviews is not.  This can also be true of standing for truth when it is brandished as a weapon...

One of the most important questions any of us can ask is this. Will I be saved? Will I go to heaven? How can I know God will save me? Will I be saved when I die? Can you think of a more important question with such long-term implications? I mean, we’re talking eternity here. How do people answer? 

In this passage, Luke records Jesus explaining the Kingdom of God to people. That fact that Jesus was explaining it suggests that it was something that required explaining. So, he uses common language to help people connect with the meaning of the Kingdom of God. JESUS WANTS HIS LISTENERS TO UNDERSTAND THE KINGDOM OF GOD Why would Jesus want His listeners to understand the Kingdome of God? Seek fi...

Jesus’ perspective on the Sabbath as a day for deliverance is vindicated, as Luke recounts the humiliation of Jesus’ opponents and the joy of the crowds at his wonderful (healing) deeds (Luke 13:17).   Although we do not hear about the woman who has been healed at the end of the passage, the praise she offers to God echoes with the crowds’ rejoicing. Both themes of praise and rejoicing are emphasi...
