Luke 11:14-22, 37-44 It’s our mothers who remind us: Be kind to others, Go to Church, Behave yourself. The Scriptures teach that it’s not enough to just do the right thing, we’re to do the right thing with the right motive. Motives are not always easy to identify or measure Visit southplains.org to request prayer and to stay up to date, or join our Facebook Group .

Luke 10 One big challenge for those wanting to follow Jesus is prioritizing life!  It is so easy to focus on the immediate need that we don’t have time for those things that are eternally significant. This is the story of Martha, a good woman doing some good things, but Jesus praises Mary because she chose what was better. She had her priorities right. Visit southplains.org to request prayer...

The familiar Good Samaritan story is easily ran over because we know it. Go out of your way to help a stranger in need. But if we take a closer look we: See the question, the answer, the truth and the challenge. Extend compassion by getting involved; giving something you love for something you love more. Be conformed into the image of your Lord. Visit southplains.org to request prayer and to stay...

Matthew 28:1-10 The most important victory in history is the triumph of Jesus Christ over the grave! It happened only once but impacts everyone - the conquest of a dreadful adversary.

All of our lives we have heard about the importance of a right attitude. When Jesus becomes Lord of your life, he begins to do a work on your attitude; there is to be a different spirit developing in us. This is developed in several incidents at the end of Luke 9.

Luke 9:18-27 One’s identity reveals something about their character and destiny. “Who is Jesus” is a really important question, and his Lordship a really important message. His resurrection declares he is King of kings and Lord of lords. What does it mean to follow the resurrected Lord? Jesus tells us himself, if we follow him then he is Lord of Life.

Luke 8:40-56 Two different stories of hopeless people, in situations beyond their control who turned to Jesus in desperation and found healing.

In this episode of Jesus’ ministry with his disciples, a storm takes center stage (Luke 8:22-25). There is always the potential for fear in a storm, but Jesus moves them toward faith. At the conclusion of this story, Jesus moves his followers from fearing circumstances and things, to a healthy fear of God. “Who is this?”  What is fear keeping you from? Jesus is the prince of peace, and offers...

This report (Luke 8:26-39) concerning a demon possessed man is a graphic warning about the potential of evil to enslave us.  At one point in this man’s life he was an innocent child, but at some point he gave Satan an opening and he became a prisoner to evil.  If you are struggling with an addiction or edging closer to a problem, Jesus is a friend who loves you and wants to free you from...

Jesus tells an illustrative story (Luke 8:5-8), and then basically asks “What are you listening for?” Although he mentions “ears” we find that he is telling us that hearing has to do with the “heart.” Just so, being lost or saved has to do with the heart as well. What do you hear? Visit southplains.org to request prayer and to stay up to date, or join our Facebook Group .

This story tells of Jesus befriending a sinful woman. Understand there is no sin so awful that it can’t be completely cleansed by the blood of Christ, because he wants to befriend you. If you’re a follower of Jesus, he wants you to befriend sinners like he did.  When sinners came into Jesus’ presence they sensed so much love that they were motivated to change. The church should be a place whe...

Many people in our community are hurting, and many are hidden hurts, or people who have prolonged pains that people have long forgotten. Our mission is to bring hope, healing and redemption through Jesus Christ who is a friend of the wounded in heart. In this story, Luke shows us how Jesus can be a compassionate friend when we hurt.

Jesus related to people’s needs, challenged people to grow, and made the message understandable. In his communication, what he said is important, but what he did at the cross was even more important.

With what kind of courage will you take on 2022? In the stories in Luke 5:36-6:11, Jesus deals with rigidity, inflexibility and threats.  We will be challenged to be like Jesus having the courage to celebrate, change and confront.

Who or What will control your life in 2022?  In this story we are reminded of what Jesus said about the devil. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10)  We will be encouraged by Jesus’ example, reminded of the devastating consequences of sin and the amazing power God’s Word and Holy Spirit can have in...

This season often creates conflict between the spiritual and material, God and stuff. The Shepherds in the field had such a conflict and their actions in searching and conversing teach us some helpful principles.

Sometimes the holiday season isn’t exactly the way we imagined. We may be disappointed in people or God. Instead of joy it turns into a time of conflict and disillusionment. Mary & Joseph had that kind of trouble, but didn’t give up. Visit southplains.org to request prayer and to stay up to date, or join our Facebook Group .
