Wake Before the Day

We are reading about the resurrection! What is beautiful about this is that this represents everyday for the Christian. We're called to repent for our sin and believe in what Jesus has done!

"Hosanna!" ... "Crucify him!" ... Which one is it?! While the heart of humanity is ever changing, inconsistent and at times unreliable, the heart of God is faithful, gracious and on fully display in Luke 23.

From creation, God knew what creating would require of him and at this point in Luke 22 Jesus is about to fulfill the plan he created thousands of years ago.

Giving out of one's abundance is fine and appreciated but giving when it is costly changes the heart!

Why did Jesus often teach in parables? Why does it seem his "authority" is frequently questioned? We'll respond to these questions and challenge you to live mindful of the Spirit's presence and power in your life.

Zacchaeus shows us that nobody is beyond the touch of God. His response to Jesus's love should also move us to a radical love!

The majority of believers became Christians between the ages of 4-14. Let's talk about why this is important.

Jesus is swinging for the fences in Luke 17 - his teaching should cause us to pause and reflect on what this means for us. Essentially he reminds us to take sin seriously, live a life of gratitude and pay attention to the coming of his kingdom!

In this podcast we aim to tackle what seems to be a doozy of a parable, "The Parable of the Shrewd Manager". Often we leave this passage wondering what to make of it, let's check it out!

Jesus didn't come for the healthy and the "found" he came for the sick and the "lost". This impacts all of us. Let's discuss Luke 15!

How does one grow in humility? The answer has everything to do with understanding grace. God's free gift to the undeserving - us!

In Luke 13 Jesus begins his teaching giving us a reality check - we are all going to die. The question is do we want to have a fruitful life and are we willing to walk the straight and "narrow" and follow his teaching?

Unpack a difficult passage regarding Jesus bringing division not peace and learning what it means to blaspheme the Holy Spirit!

Luke 11 teaches us the "repent and replace" method and urges us to let the word and work of Christ shine in and through us!

In this episode we discuss what it means to "protect your peace". We also discuss Jesus' response to the disciples when they returned from preaching, healing and exorcising demons. Jesus essentially tells them (and us) not to get too focused on the ability to preach, heal and kick out demons but rather focus on the fact that God is over all.

We're discussing Luke 9 today, talk about a jam packed chapter! We're to walk in the authority of Jesus that he has given us in order to continue his mission. While words like "power" and "authority" are exciting to talk about it is also humbling when you realize what following Jesus costs the believer, which is everything. In the midst of this Jesus feeds 5,000+ people with the little they have t...

Let's discuss the importance of parables, the "soil" of our hearts and the demons that were sent into pigs in Luke 8!

At times we struggle to understand God's way. Learn from John the baptist, run to Jesus instead of away from him in the hard times!

Chapter 6 is Luke's version of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus addresses many of the Old Testament laws but takes it a step further and gets to our heart. He ends the chapter with a powerful question, "Why do you say to me Lord Lord but not do what I say?" A powerful and convicting question we need to answer as well. Let's dive in!

Confession of sin and grasping our inability to save becomes our resume for service to the Lord. Humility is the elevator to growth.

Like Jesus, our life should be filled with more than "gracious words" but with the very power of God!

There's a saying that goes, "identity determines destiny". We see Luke making that point here with the genealogy of Jesus and as John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus. It's important to note the Holy Spirit and his role in this stage of God's saving work.

Today we're talking about Jesus humanity - something that often goes overlooked and not discussed. Jesus humanity + his relationship with the Holy Spirit has huge implications for us today as we too are led by the Holy Spirit.

Ask God to give you the awe and wonder needed to fully embrace the coming of Jesus!

There's a huge difference between resuscitation and resurrection! Let's also discuss the fact that disciples are made not instantly created!
