The Forgiver of Sins

Luke 5:17-26

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.

Calling All Sinners

April 28, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 5:27–32

When Jesus calls sinners, He is calling all of us. There is a cure for your pride, lust, greed, unhappiness, depression, isolation, for whatever is making you sick of life and http://yourself.it’s 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.

Calling All Disciples

April 7, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 5:1–11

Peter and his friends had been watching Jesus. They had seen him heal Peter’s mother-in-law and had heard about his miracles throughout Galilee and Judea. Now, confronted by his personal call, they abandon everything but him.
