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.

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.

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.

The Great Physician

March 31, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 4:38–44

Jesus knew that people could be temporally cured of immediate pain but still face an eternity separated from God, so he kept the main thing the main thing.

Commanding Demons

March 24, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 4:31–37

But in this passage, Luke gives us the first details about Jesus’s miraculous ministry. In many ways, it is a preview of Jesus’s claim that “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matt 28:18). Is it? Let’s see.

The Gospel According to Jesus

March 17, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 4:14–30

The Gospel is serious and somber. It is nothing to be toyed with. It is to be received on God’s timetable as God presents it.

The Son vs Satan

March 10, 2024 • Chris Miller • Luke 4:1–13

Since beginning the gospel of Luke, we have walked through Jesus’ infancy narrative, his baptism, and his genealogy. In chapter 4 we arrive at the next confirmation of Jesus’ identity as the Son of God.

The Genealogy of The Savior

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 Father's Business

February 18, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 2:21–52

Mary and Joseph had to look for a long time before they found Jesus in the temple, but what they really discovered was an important truth about his relationship to his Father.

A Tale of Two Saviors

February 11, 2024 • Charlie Scalf • Luke 2:1–20

Don’t put your trust in earthly rulers. The best this world has to offer will only ever be a cheap imitation of the One True Savior.

The Joy of a Name

February 4, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 1:57–80

In the Bible, as we see in the naming of John and Jesus, names are an important reflection of one's person.

Something to Sing About

January 28, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 1:39–56

After Gabriel leaves, Mary is suddenly alone, and the house is once again quiet and dark. It's as though nothing ever happened. But something did happen, and Mary knows it.

The Most Wonderful Promise

January 21, 2024 • Reggie Weems • Luke 1:26–38

Mary, as God’s willing servant, becomes, what Luke hopes for Israel, and for every reader. Her response is what Luke wants Theophilus to say. This is what he wants you to say.

Getting Ready for John

January 14, 2024 • Reggie Weems

After four hundred years of silence, the world is about to get loud.
