40 DAYS TO EASTER 

Yesterday we looked at the first of three stories Jesus tells about the heart of his Father. After the story of the lost sheep, he continues on with a story about a lost coin. 8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep...

Luke 15 contains 3 of the most popular and famous stories Jesus ever told. And for good reason. These stories show us the true heart of the Father.  Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the...

Remember our discussion yesterday? Jesus shows grace to someone who appears not to deserve it or, at best, not deserve it on the Sabbath.   Luke gives us this story next. 18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the Kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like...

As we move towards Easter, and Jesus is moving to the cross, we see him begin to intensify his mission of seeking and saving the lost. Look at this story of Jesus’ encounter with a woman who has lived for years in incredible physical pain and emotional discomfort. 10...

Jesus teaches us we can go to the Almighty God and simply call him father.

When you think of those who followed Jesus, we tend to think of the 12 disciples.  Yet, there were a lot more people who were with Jesus during the first year of his ministry. In fact, in the passage we read today, there were 72 counted and sent out in his name to...

Today let’s do something a little different.

Is it better to yell from a street corner or listen with intention?

What is that thing we often forget to pray about when it comes to helping others?

We read in Luke of the faith of a man who told Jesus to just say the word, you don’t have to do this miracle like the others.

Jesus was constantly uplifting those who society had cast away – what was He trying to teach us?
