Jesus meets two men on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:27 and explains to them everything in the Scripture concerning Himself.

Jesus is hung upon a cross and dies in Luke 23:26-49, but why did this have to happen, and what does it signify within God’s whole plan for humanity? As we examine why Jesus was crucified and what it accomplished, may we all look upon the cross and be saved.

February 11, 2024 • Brett Meador • Luke 23:1–26

Jesus' sham trial arrives before Pontius Pilate in Luke 23:1-26 and what he decides to do with the accusations against Jesus will be the biggest choice of his life. Likewise, we are all faced with deciding whether we will follow Jesus or reject Him because of our double-mindedness, popular opinion, or failure to understand His perfect plan.

An Eerie Story

February 4, 2024 • Brett Meador • Luke 22:47–51

A curious incident occurs in Luke 22:47-51 as Peter draws a sword and slashes off the ear of a servant during Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane.

As the religious leaders hatch a plot to kill Him, Jesus and His disciples gather to celebrate Passover together in Luke 22:1-38.

The Olivet Discourse?

January 28, 2024 • Brett Meador • Luke 21

Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple in Luke 21 and then begins a discourse on when this will occur and what the signs will be.

Through the Bible | Luke 20

January 24, 2024 • Brett Meador • Luke 20

The Rejected Cornerstone

January 21, 2024 • Brett Meador • Luke 20:17–19

Jesus makes a statement in Luke 20:17-19 about a rejected cornerstone and how people will either be broken upon it or ground to powder by it. While this remark may seem strange and confusing, we will see that the cornerstone runs throughout Scripture from Moses to the coming Kingdom and perfectly symbolizes Jesus and what He came to accomplish.

As we see where each man went after death, we learn what these places are and, most importantly, how to choose where we will end up after we die.
