Luke 8:4-15 // The selective secrecy of Jesus is surprising, but not without purpose. In Luke 8:4-15, Christ shows us why he will sometimes hide himself from us - so that we would persist in drawing near to him. Like the seed in the soil, we see a Savior who hides himself in death to sprout forth with new life, a life that is given to those with "ears to hear". Though he speaks in whispers now, one day his glory will be revealed to all. Until that day, our task is simple: persist in the Word.

Questing with Jesus
May 12, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Luke 9:51–62
Luke 9:51-62 // Jesus’ mission in the world brought a specific call, cost and conclusion that we must embrace if we are to follow him. We must learn to say no to shortcuts, leave behind what is good for what is best, and prepare for our great homecoming with Jesus.
The Inner Ring
May 5, 2024 • Drake Osborn • Luke 9:37–50
Luke 9:37-50 // It is an incredible thing to be called to follow Jesus. But we must be careful not to equate the kingdom of God with an earthly "Inner Ring" by desiring power, position, or acceptance in the wrong way. In the gospel, we are invited to belong through simple faith like a child.
