The Genealogy of The Savior

Luke 3:23-38

March 3, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 3:23–38

God promised David that he would raise up one of his sons to be a king that will rule an eternal kingdom. This king will be the king of all kings and the government shall be upon his shoulder. He will be the Prince of Peace. He will rule with justice and righteousness. This prophecy found its temporary fulfillment in King Solomon but it

found its final and ultimate fulfillment in the Lord Jesus. God orchestrated this promise to hinge entirely on the fact the one who would fill this role must be a child of David and Jesus was just that. He was David’s son through rightful lineage and biology.

The Forgiver of Sins

April 21, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 5:17–26

At the end of Luke’s Gospel, two disciples are walking with a man whom they have yet to identify as Jesus and note that he was “a man, a prophet powerful in deed and word before God and all the people” (24:19). This, and more, is Luke’s aim in writing to Theophilus; to present Jesus as the man-God through the stories he tells about Jesus.

Touching The Untouchable

April 14, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 5:12–16

In this account, Jesus touches the untouchable. Leprosy is communicable. Above all other diseases, it most represents sin to Israelites. Normally, when something clean touches something unclean, the clean becomes unclean. And yet when Jesus touches the man, he is not infected, but the man is cleansed.
