My intro
In Luke 20:9–19, Jesus tells the parable of the wicked tenants — a story that exposes the rejection of God's prophets and ultimately His Son. He warns that the stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone: those who stumble over Him will be broken, and those on whom He falls will be crushed. The religious leaders understood the parable was about them, but instead of repenting, they hardened their hearts. This episode reminds us that understanding the truth is not enough — we must surrender to Christ, the only true foundation.
In Luke 20:1–8, the religious leaders question Jesus' authority, but His wise response exposes their hypocrisy and fear of man. Even today, many avoid answering the real question: Who is Jesus to you? This episode calls us to acknowledge His authority and submit to His Lordship before it's too late.
In this episode, we look at Luke 19:45–48, where Jesus cleanses the Temple. Discover how this powerful act is also a picture of what He wants to do in us today—driving out distractions, sins, and pride, so that our lives can become a true house of prayer and a dwelling place of His Spirit.
In Luke 19:28–44, Jesus enters Jerusalem as King, but the crowd welcomes Him for the wrong reasons—seeking political freedom instead of spiritual salvation. This message reminds us that Jesus sees beyond outward praise to the heart, calling us to lay down our cloaks in surrender, lift our palms in true worship, and welcome Him as the true King of our lives.
In today's devotion, we explore the parable of the minas in Luke 19 and the parable of the talents in Matthew 25. Though similar, they carry two powerful truths: every believer has a shared responsibility with the Gospel, and each believer has unique gifts entrusted to them. The question is—are we faithful with both?
Today's message based on Luke 19:1–10 explores why Jesus called Zacchaeus a “son of Abraham”. This passage reminds us that being God's child is about faith, repentance, and obedience—not just heritage or status.
In this episode, we explore Luke 18:31–43, where a blind man's persistent cry reaches Jesus and brings a miracle. Discover how bold faith, persistence, and trust in God can touch hearts today—both God's and those around us. A short, powerful reflection for anyone seeking encouragement and hope.
In Luke 18:18–30, Jesus teaches the rich young ruler that moral obedience alone isn't enough—true entrance into God's kingdom requires humility, surrender, and dependence on Him. In this episode, we explore the “Eye of the Needle” teaching, draw modern-day parallels to wealth, career, and comfort, and share practical steps to examine your heart, unload worldly attachments, and follow Christ fully.
In this episode, we explore Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector and His call to welcome little children. What do these stories teach us about pride, humility, and simple trust in God? Join us as we draw modern-day parallels and discover why a humble heart and childlike faith are the keys to entering the kingdom of God.
In this episode, we reflect on the parable of the persistent widow from Luke 18:1–8. Jesus reminds us to always pray and not give up, and He challenges us with a powerful question: When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? Join us as we learn how to keep praying, keep trusting, and keep watching for the Lord's return.
In Luke 17:20–37, Jesus reveals two truths about the Kingdom of God—first, that it is already within us through faith, and second, that one day it will be revealed suddenly, like lightning across the sky. In this episode, we look at the warnings of Noah's days, the example of Lot's wife, and the words ‘one shall be taken, the other left.' Are we living ready for that moment? Join me as we prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord. Maranatha!
In Luke 17:11–17, Jesus heals ten lepers, but only one—a Samaritan—returns to give thanks. This episode reflects on the power of gratitude, the mercy of God that reaches both Jews and Gentiles, and the call for us to live daily with thankful hearts that glorify Him.
In this episode, we dive into Jesus' sobering story of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16:19–31. A tale of earthly riches, eternal reversal, and the great chasm that no one can cross. What does this mean for us today? How does it point to the coming Rapture and the final separation between those taken and those left behind? Join me as we uncover the warning, the hope, and the call to be ready before it's too late. Maranatha!
In Luke 16:14–18, Jesus exposed the Pharisees for their love of money and their outward show of righteousness. He reminded them—and us—that God sees the heart, His Word never changes, and His kingdom must be entered with urgency. In this episode, discover how these verses connect to the rapture and why pressing into the kingdom today is the only way to be ready when the trumpet sounds.
Many believers wonder: If I accepted Jesus once, am I guaranteed to be taken in the Rapture? In this episode, we explore what the Bible really says about salvation, the seal of the Holy Spirit, and the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. Discover the difference between outward profession and true new birth — and the assurance that those sealed by the Spirit are ready for the trumpet call.
In this episode, we explore Jesus' powerful teaching from Luke 17:1–10. He warns us to guard our influence, calls us to forgive without limits, reminds us that even small faith in a great God can do the impossible, and teaches us to serve with humility. A timely message for today's world—where offenses are many, faith is tested, and pride often overshadows true service.
In Luke 16:1–13, Jesus tells the story of a shrewd steward who planned ahead for his future. While his actions were dishonest, his foresight is praised. Jesus turns this into a powerful lesson: use temporary riches wisely for eternal purposes. In this episode, we explore what it means to be faithful in little things, how money tests our hearts, and why no one can serve both God and mammon.
Luke 15 holds three parables—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. Each reveals the heart of God toward the sinner: He seeks, He finds, and He rejoices. In this message, we reflect on how heaven celebrates when even one soul turns back to God.
In Luke 14:26–35, Jesus calls His disciples to a love that puts Him above family, possessions, and even life itself. He speaks of carrying the cross, counting the cost, and staying salty for God's kingdom. In this episode, we explore what it means to truly follow Christ, with modern-day examples of choosing Him over family pressure, career gain, or personal dreams. The cost is great, but the reward—Christ Himself—is greater.

In Luke 14:15–24, Jesus tells the story of a great banquet where the invited guests made excuses, and the master opened the doors to the poor, the broken, and even strangers on the highways. This parable reminds us that God's kingdom is ready, His invitation is open, but many still delay with excuses. In this episode, we explore what those excuses look like in our modern lives, how God's grace reaches the unworthy, and why we must say “yes” today to His call.
In this episode, we walk through Luke 14:1–14 where Jesus heals on the Sabbath, teaches about choosing humble places, and urges us to invite those who cannot repay. We'll see how His lessons on mercy over legalism, humility over pride, and eternal reward over earthly repayment speak directly into our modern lives. A call to live with compassion, humility, and selfless love.
In Luke 13:31–35, Jesus stands fearless before Herod's threats and pours out His sorrow over Jerusalem — the city that killed the prophets and rejected God's love.

What does this mean for the church today? And how can we avoid repeating the same mistakes?
Luke 13:22–30 reminds us that salvation is not about religion or heritage, but about entering through the narrow door — Jesus Himself. The door is open now; let us walk in before it closes.
In this episode, we explore how Jesus connects the healing of a bent woman with the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast. The kingdom of God may start small and hidden, but it grows into something vast and life-transforming. Learn how God's quiet work of freedom and restoration spreads until it touches the whole world.
“In this episode, we dive into Luke 13:10–17, where Jesus meets a woman who had been bent over for eighteen long years. With just a word and a touch, He sets her free from her infirmity, and she rises to glorify God. But while the crowd rejoices, the synagogue ruler objects—choosing rules over compassion.This passage reminds us that Jesus not only heals but restores our dignity and identity. The Sabbath is revealed as a day of freedom, not restriction; of release, not burden. Join me as we reflect on what it truly means to be set free in Christ and to live a life that glorifies God.”
In Luke 13:1–9, Jesus reminds us through two real-life tragedies and the parable of the barren fig tree that life is uncertain and repentance cannot be delayed. Death can come suddenly—through violence, accident, or disaster—not because people are worse sinners, but as a warning for all to turn back to God. Like the gardener pleading for the fig tree, Jesus gives us extra time to repent and bear fruit. But God's patience is not endless. The call is urgent: repent today and live a fruitful life for Him.
Jesus warned the crowds—they could predict the weather but failed to see the signs of God's kingdom. In this episode, we learn how to read the times we live in and why it's urgent to settle matters with God before judgment comes. A call to repent, reconcile, and be ready.
In Luke 12:49–53, Jesus speaks of bringing fire, undergoing a baptism of suffering, and the division His message would cause—even within families. In this episode, we reflect on what that fire means, how His baptism points to the cross, and why faith sometimes divides the closest relationships. A reminder that trials are not signs of abandonment, but the refining work of God shaping us to stand firm in Christ.
A reflection on Luke 12:35–48. Jesus calls His disciples to keep their lamps burning, to remain watchful even through the long night watches, and to live as faithful stewards until His return. Readiness is not passive waiting but active service, and to whom much is given, much will be required.
In this episode we reflect on Luke 12:22–32, where Jesus calls His disciples to lay aside worry and trust in the Father's care. From the ravens and the lilies to the tender words, “Do not be afraid, little flock,” we are reminded that God delights to provide for our needs and has already given us His kingdom.
A teaching from Luke 12:13–21, where Jesus warns against greed through the parable of the rich fool, reminding us that true life is found in being rich toward God, not in possessions.
In Luke 12:8–12, Jesus calls us to boldly confess Him before people, warns us against rejecting the Holy Spirit, and promises that the Spirit Himself will give us words when we face opposition. Through the powerful story of Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who endured years of imprisonment for Christ in Communist Romania, we see these verses come alive. This episode is a reminder to stand firm for Jesus, trust the Spirit's leading, and live unashamed of the gospel.
From Luke 12:4–7, Jesus teaches us not to fear people who can only touch the body, but to fear God who holds eternity in His hands. Yet, in the same breath, He reminds us of His tender care — even the sparrows are remembered, and we are of far greater value. A message of holy reverence, balanced with deep assurance of God's love.
In Luke 12:1–3, Jesus warns His disciples to beware of the “yeast of the Pharisees”—their hypocrisy. Just like yeast spreads quietly through dough, hidden sin and pride can spread through our lives. But Jesus reminds us that nothing is hidden from God. Every concealed word and deed will one day be revealed, and the truth of His Word will be proclaimed from the rooftops.This episode is both a warning and a comfort—a call to live sincerely in the light of Christ, with nothing to hide and nothing to fear.
In Luke 11:47–54, Jesus warns the religious leaders who honored the prophets of the past but rejected the truth in the present. Their story reminds us that it's not enough to admire faith heroes—we must respond to God's Word today with humility and obedience.
In Luke 11:42–44, Jesus exposes the Pharisees for their outward religion—tithing herbs, loving chief seats, and appearing righteous—while neglecting justice, love, and true holiness. Like concealed and whitewashed tombs, they looked fine outside but spread defilement within. This message calls us back to purity of heart and genuine love for God.
In Luke 11, Jesus shows us that true purity is not about outward rituals, but a cleansed heart before God. Listen and be reminded that what matters most is not washing the outside, but living with love, mercy, and generosity.
In this episode, discover how the lampstand represents God's truth, how the eye reflects our openness to receive it, and why the real problem is never the lack of light, but the refusal to see. Includes practical examples that will help you apply this teaching in daily life.
