Luke

When Injustice Prevails

April 21, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:63–71

Never has there been a greater miscarriage of justice than when Jesus was arrested and tried as a criminal. We see the beginning of that corrupted process in the final verses of Luke 22.

When Courage Fails

April 14, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:54–62

We have all been in situations where we have not stood up for the Lord in the way we should have responded. Maybe that’s why we all can relate to the Apostle Peter's actions in Luke chapter 22.

When Darkness Reigns

March 24, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:47–53

Nothing has ever been as atrocious as when Jesus was betrayed, arrested, beaten, whipped, tried, and eventually crucified as we are told in Luke chapter 22. 

Facing Death in the Garden

March 17, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:39–46

When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, the weight of the burden that was upon Him was so great that it squeezed out of Him His own blood

Get a Sword

March 10, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:35–38

Jesus was going to become the most targeted man of His day and the implications of all that for the disciples were significant. So, it’s not surprising to see Jesus preparing His men as we see in Luke 22:35-38.

Surviving Satan's Sifting

March 3, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:31–34

If we think we are good enough or strong enough or wise enough or sharp enough on our own, we are headed for some major falls. Maybe the most well-known example of this kind of overconfidence is the Apostle Peter.

True Greatness

February 25, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:24–30

In our text in Luke 22, Jesus taught a powerful lesson of servanthood and humility on the night before His death.

Celebrating His Final Passover

February 4, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:7–23

The Satanic Betrayal

January 28, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:3–6

Today we consider what could be the most tragic story in all of human history. It's the story of a man who had a privilege only eleven other men have ever had. He was chosen by the Lord Jesus Christ to be one of the twelve disciples, yet he tragically squandered that privilege. His name was Judas Iscariot.

Determined to Kill Jesus

January 14, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 22:1–2

As we move into this 22nd chapter, Luke is leading us on a journey to the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord.

A Final Warning to Mankind

January 7, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 21:34–38

The Bible tells us that, during the future tribulation period, there are going to be cataclysmic events taking place on this planet. Yet, during this time, life will go on as normal for some people in the world and they will be totally caught by surprise when Jesus returns. Jesus tells us about that in Luke chapter 21. 

The Generation of the Last Days

December 31, 2023 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 21:29–33

History has been filled with some amazing events but all of them pale in comparison to one event that is coming some time in the future, to which all of human history is pointing: the 2nd coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to planet earth.

Your Redemption Draws Near

December 17, 2023 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 21:25–28

God has never repented concerning His choice of Israel. He is just as committed to fulfilling His purposes with them as He has ever been. That commitment is what’s behind our text in Luke 21.  

The Destruction of Jerusalem

December 10, 2023 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 21:20–24

In Luke 21, Jesus has been talking about the events that will unfold immediately prior to His 2nd coming. In verses 20-24, He pauses to talk about the time prior to and including the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.

Trouble Before A.D. 70

December 3, 2023 • Bryan Hughes • Luke 21:12–19

In today's passage, Jesus is giving His men the reassurance that regardless of what kind of rejection they experience here on earth, they will never experience rejection from Him.
