The Soil of the Heart (Luke 8:1-15)

The result of the indiscriminate sowing of the seed of God's Word is it falling on various soils.  Which soil are you?  Which heart do you possess?

Your Sins Are Forgiven (Luke 7:36-50)

Our sins are many, His mercy is more.

Shall We Look For Another (Luke7:18-35)

In moments of doubt, we must look beyond what we are feeling to what we know to be true.  Better yet, we must look to the One who we know to be true.  The blessed, the humble, and the wise look to Jesus!

No Fear in Death (Luke 7:1-17)

These stories have happy endings, not because the death of the first is postponed, and the death of the second is temporarily overcome, but due to what we learn about Christ who intervened. (We apologize for the recording.  There were technical difficulties.)

Kingdom Living - Part 4 (Luke 6:43-49)

Our fruit is a natural byproduct of who we really are and can differentiate between those who possess faith from those who merely profess faith.

The Lord's Supper (I Cor. 11:1-2, 17-34)

When we eat and drink, Christ nourishes, strengthens, sustains, blesses and communicates His benefits to us spiritually.

Kingdom Living - Part 3 (Luke 6:37-42)

The Kingdom Way is one of mercy, grace, forgiveness, gentleness, and hope, because those in the kingdom understand the depth of their own sin, the justice they deserved, and the mercy and forgiveness they have graciously received in Christ.

Kingdom Living - Part 2 (Luke 6:27-36)

It’s a radical love to which is Jesus is calling.  It’s a love that is more than uncomfortable.  It’s a love that challenges us and pushes us to our limits.

Kingdom Living - Part 1 (Luke 6:12-26)

Those of the world believe happiness comes via the physical and temporal.  Those of the Kingdom believe deep, abiding, joy comes via the spiritual and eternal.

Work or Rest (Luke 6:1-11)

Jesus, our ultimate authority, alone determines how we can and should honor the Day that has been created for us. The rest He desires for us is a rest He desires us to experience with Him, and is a foretaste of what we will experience for eternity upon His return.
 

Feast or Fast (Luke 5:33-39)

We have and will fast joyfully not sorrowfully in light of the already, and with a hunger for the consummation of the kingdom in light of the not yet.  

Jesus Came Calling (Luke 5:12-32)

Jesus was both willing and able to restore the leper and He continues to be both willing and able to  restore anyone and everyone who will come to Him in faith and will trust Him alone for their salvation.
