Podcasts about Gospel of Luke

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 11th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 8:5. Jesus is talking about the parable of the seed and the sower. He says: “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside;…” Now I am going to stop there and I am going to explain something to you as an old farmer. The most important thing for a farmer to do is to plant the seed, sow the seed, and stop procrastinating! You don't have to be a farmer, you might be a student at university. Keep on studying! You might be a sportsman who is trying to make it in the first team. Keep on playing that game! You might be looking for that wife or that husband. Keep on keeping on. That's how you do it!I have been farming from the age of 19 years old and I want to tell you, the secret is to keep on putting the seed in the ground. “Oh yes, but I have done that, but it hasn't worked” Well, don't stop. That is what Jesus is saying. Some of the seed fell by the wayside, okay? So that seed was trampled down and birds devoured it. So what do you do? You go back and you plant again. Some fell on the rock and then it sprang up and because it lacked moisture, it shrivelled up. Oh yes, I have seen that. Some fell amongst thorns. Keep on planting!I don't know how many multi-millionaires I have read about that failed at least 3 times before they made it. You have got to keep on planting the seed. That's our job, and the rest is in the Lord's hands. And then verse 8: ”But others fell on good ground,…” Unconditional sowing - prepare the land properly, sow the seed, study hard, get your qualifications, step out on the water, go into that business, go for it and give it everything you have got. Don't spare anything, and I tell you what - if you do not grow weary in doing good, in due season, you will reap if you do not lose heart.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Ron and Nick begin a weekly study through the book of Acts looking for and listening to the work of the Holy Spirit.Notes:First account... began to do and to teachLuke has begun a research project that takes him from the birth of Jesus to the birth of the church. Along the way he ceases to be an observer/journalist and falls into the story. The “they did” will become “we did” (see Acts 16:10). Luke is meticulous. Of all the gospel writers he is the most detailed. He uses words precisely. When he says his first account was what Jesus began to do and teach we need to take note. Luke's first work is the gospel of Luke where Jesus is the lead character from start to finish, but in this second work, Jesus is going to make a brief appearance and strangely depart. How are we to understand the word “began”? Luke implies that Jesus is going to continue both doing and teaching. How?  The way this is written is supposed to make us lean in and look for the answer right at the outset. We are supposed to enter here looking over the shoulder of the Jesus Christ, the resurrection man; listening to a dead man teach about how to live now in light of his destruction of the laws of sin, death, and physics. He is going to continue doing things and teaching us things and we'd better pay attention. He is no longer the peasant prophet, he is now the ruler of life and death. We listen in to the conversation and find out that he is not planning on sticking around and that some other person is going to shape and guide the movement he has begun. It is the Holy Spirit. It is not an it but a He; a person. He is the Spirit of Christ. What does that mean?  It means we should look for and expect Him to act like Jesus; to do the kinds of things Jesus did and say the kind of things Jesus said. He is not unknown to us. The whole gospel of Luke tells us what to expect from Him. Now we wait to see how He will arrive on the scene and what the gospel of Acts will be. 

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 9th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Luke 8:2:“Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,…” Then we go on a bit further to Luke 19:8: “Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” Wow! Now that is genuine repentance, that is genuine appreciation for what God has done for a person who is a sinner. Mary Magdalene, Mary of Magdala - I have been to Magdala, it is a little village on the shores of Lake Galilee in Israel - now Mary has been delivered from seven demons and yet, once forgiven, and healed and delivered, she became one of Jesus' most faithful followers. I always say, if you get to Heaven before me, have a look and see who the most beautiful woman is in Heaven. I know many of us will say Mary, the mother of Jesus, but I beg to differ. I believe it will be Mary Magdalene, and I believe (I am getting emotional) she will be sitting at the feet of the Messiah, because she was forgiven much. Jesus didn't patch her up; He made her into a brand-new, beautiful handmaiden. You know, after that time, she never left the Lord once. She was the first one down at the tomb in the morning after the Lord had been crucified and had been put in Joseph of Arimathea's tomb. She was the first one, not Peter, not the disciples, it was the woman who had been forgiven much, and that's what I love about her. Jim Elliot, a missionary who went to the Amazon said, “It is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” What is that? It is your life. John Newton, forgiven much, a slave ship captain - can you think of anything worse? He wrote probably the most famous hymn of all time:Amazing grace, how sweet the sound In a believer's ear,I once was lost, but now am found;I was blind, but now I see.What about Peter, the big fisherman? He said, “Lord, I will die for you,” and yet when the test came before the cock crowed, he denied his beloved Saviour three times, but God forgave him, restored him and eventually he was crucified, by his own request, upside-down, for the love of Christ. Today, love the One who has forgiven you much.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Message from David Wojnicki on June 8, 2025

As we continue our journey through the Gospel of Luke, this message from Luke 19 reminds us that while we long to see Jesus, the real transformation begins when we realize He sees us. Through the story of Zacchaeus and the parable that follows, we're challenged to move from behavior-based faith to heart-level belief. Join us as we refocus on Christ and let Him reshape our lives from the inside out.

My latest reading in the Gospel of Luke

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 5th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Jeremiah 1:5. The Lord says:“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;Before you were born I sanctified you;I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”Then we go to the New Testament to the Gospel of Luke 12:6-7. Jesus says: “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”Are you feeling lonely today? Are you feeling that no-one cares about you? Are you feeling totally isolated? Oh yes, we all understand that, but I want to tell you something now. There is One who really loves you and today you need to know that. Many years ago, when we had our little children's home, here on the farm, the social welfare people arrived with a beautiful little bundle, a little baby girl. I don't think she could have been more than a month old. They brought her to us to look after her. They had absolutely no details. She was left on the front doorstep of a pastor's house. And so, we called her Pretty because she was a very beautiful, pretty little baby, but I want to tell you, there wasn't a soul who knew where she was born or where she came from. Little Pretty didn't stay with us long and she was obviously born prematurely. I think she could have been maybe only four or five months old when Jesus decided to call His little one home, and little Pretty is with Jesus today. I want to tell you, Jesus knows all about her because He says to you today, “Before you were conceived in your mother's womb, He knew you.” He says that five sparrows will fall to the ground, he knows each one of them. He says He even knows how many hairs are on your head. So He knows all about Pretty. Maybe nobody on earth knows who she was, where she came from, who her mother was, her grandfather, who her dad was, but Jesus knew her and He died for her and I can't wait to see Pretty when I get to Heaven. So today, do not feel lonely, do not feel abandoned. Call to Jesus because He wants to be not only your Friend, but your Saviour. God bless you and goodbye.

This episode reflects on the quiet aftermath of great missions—whether in war, in the early Church, or in our own lives. Drawing from a scene in Band of Brothers, the Ascension in the Gospel of Luke, and a moment from Black Hawk Down, it explores the kind of silence that follows profound revelation. Not a silence of fear, but of purpose. The Apostles didn't retreat after the Lord ascended—they returned to prayer, to wait, and then to go back in. So must we. This homily is a meditation on that return: the hush before the mission continues, a mission that flows from the Ascension of Our Lord. 

My latest reading in the Gospel of Luke

It's time to get some new “clothes.”  Who doesn't like that? Right? But there's a small catch... we have to wait a little bit. Just stay here and wait, Jesus says ... until you are clothed in the Holy Spirit. The reality is that we could all use an excuse to get a little rest.  It is in resting that we are able to receive the blessing of the Spirit's presence. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith as they rest in the Gospel of Luke for this Ascension Sunday episode of Coffee to Go.

In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the nations—even us. Today, in 12:22-34, Jesus calls us to put off anxiety by trusting the Father for true riches that will not fail—in this life or the next. [sermon_media_line]

The Gospel of Luke

Pastor Marco continues his study through the Gospel of Luke.

Message from David Wojnicki on June 1, 2025

The Gospel of Luke is the most detailed and comprehensive account of Jesus' life, revealing how He reached people from all backgrounds with His message of hope and salvation.

We are bombarded daily with choices and risk becoming increasingly preoccupied and self-absorbed.  The Gospel of Luke, Chapter Ten introduces us to two extraordinary women who invited Jesus into their home.  On this occasion, Martha was too busy to be blessed.  On the other hand, her sister Mary ends the evening sitting at the feet of Jesus listening to the Word.  While Martha was pulled and pressured by her work and the immediate needs of the moment, Mary withdraws from what she was doing and sits quietly at the feet of Jesus and listens to His teaching.  She overcame the “attraction of distraction” and so can you!  This message tells us how.  

This episode is part 13 in a study of the gospel of Luke. In this chapter Jesus and the pharisees are again at odds over what the right thing to do is on the sabbath. Jesus seems to think that they have missed the whole point of the sabbath. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 29th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 6:46. Jesus says: “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,' and not do the things which I say?” Then we continue with the Book of Luke 19:8: “Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”You see, what the Lord is looking for today from you and me is action, not cheap words. Faith is a doing word, it is a verb. It is not a noun, it is an action word. It is not just empty words. You and I have to start becoming more intentional. Zacchaeus was prepared to give back 400% to anyone that he had cheated. Now you see, that is faith in action. That is showing Jesus that he meant what he said, and because of that, you read down further in the scripture, Jesus said, “Salvation has come to this house today.”You know that old joke about the guy that is always promising to pay his way, and every time it comes to his time to pay, he has short arms and long pockets. You know those guys? Maybe you and I are one of them, just keep saying, “I'll pay” and you never put your hand in your pocket! Just pay and don't say anything. That is more honourable. I want to say to you sir, you and I, we must stop telling our wives we are going to change that lightbulb, or we are going to mow the lawn. Just do it and you will show your wife that you really do love her. We need to be doers of God's word today and not just hearers. Today, go out, tell somebody about Jesus Christ. Maybe take your girlfriend and go and buy her an ice cream. Don't keep telling her you are going to do it, but seriously, maybe you need to spend more time in prayer. Maybe you need to get yourself into physical condition so that you can be more effective for the Gospel of Christ. Maybe you need to be more verbal and not just hopeful, and God is watching you and He is watching me, and He will promote us and He will reward us. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

What must I do to be saved? People asked Jesus and the Apostles how to be saved many times in scripture. This week, we look at the story of the rich young ruler in the gospel of Luke. Jesus tells the man what is required to be saved and he turns away sad. So, how can we be saved? Pastor Derrick Lynch continues our sermon series, "The Purpose of Jesus," preaching from Luke 18:18-34. Notes in this sermon: We need a God-given righteousness and sacrifice.

INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF ACTS (Acts 1:1-8) Today, we begin our study of the book of Acts.  The KJV lists the title of this book as “THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.”  Of course, the titles of the books in our Bibles are not inspired, they were inserted by the translators, so there will be differences based on the translation, although this, and the “THE ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,” are the two that you will generally see.  But to me, a title that would more accurately describe the book is “The Lord Jesus Christ at Work by the Holy Spirit through the Apostles.”  The reason I like that title is this book is, first and foremost, about the work of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, to establish the New Testament church, in order to call out a body of believers, whose mission would be to spread the Gospel message to the uttermost parts of the earth.   The Book of Acts, which is sometimes called the fifth Gospel, is a continuation of the Gospel of Luke.  Luke is the writer, and it was written in about the year 60 A.D.  The Book of Acts is remarkable in many ways, for it is a bridge between the Gospels and the Epistles. The New Testament without the Book of Acts leaves a great hole that needs to be filled.   The Book of Acts furnishes a ladder on which to place the Epistles.  It is something that allows us to climb from the gospels into the Epistles.  For the book of Acts gives the history of the founding of the churches to which the Epistles are directed. The book of Genesis records the origin of the spiritual body, and the book of Acts records the origin of the church.   Click on the play button to hear a message on the special features of this wonderful book.  It speaks of the prominence of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is prominent. He is at work from the vantage place of heaven itself.  And it also speaks on the Prominence of the Holy Spirit. Christ promised to send the Holy Spirit. You and I are living in the age of the Holy Spirit. The great fact of this age is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers. This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

According to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus, at the age of 12, accompanies his parents and a group of friends and relatives to Jerusalem for Passover. When returning to Nazareth, Jesus is not with the group. Mary and Joseph find their son in the Temple 3 days later in discussion with the doctors or elders. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation!

Message from David Wojnicki on May 25, 2025

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. I prerecorded the chat for today in my office in NorthCarolina, but today I'm actually in Kingsland, Georgia, celebrating mygranddaughter Kaitlyn's high school graduation. Both this chat and Sunday's wasdone there, but I still wanted to share this wonderful passage from Lukechapter 19. InLuke 19, Jesus sent the disciples to find a colt to ride into Jerusalem. Wecall this Palm Sunday, marking the last week of Jesus' ministry before Hiscrucifixion on Friday and resurrection the following Sunday. We will be goingthrough this week in the final chapters of Luke. Jesus is preparing to enterJerusalem and needs a colt. This is the only place in the New Testament whereJesus allows a celebration of Himself as the Messiah. There are several reasonsfor this. First,He's fulfilling the Old Testament prophecy in Zechariah 9, riding in on adonkey. To us, a donkey might not seem exciting, but in those days, it was abeast used for royalty, for a king to ride into town triumphantly as the crowdcelebrated. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowds celebrate Him as the Messiah,shouting, “Hosanna in the highest!” In verse 35, it says, “And as he went, manyspread their clothes on the road.” Then, in verse 37, as He was drawing nearthe descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began torejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they hadseen. Imagine,for three and a half years, Jesus has been healing the sick, raising the dead,giving sight to the blind, feeding the hungry, caring for the poor, preachingthe kingdom, and casting out demons. The word has spread, and people arelooking for a deliverer, a king to free them from Roman rule. They're hopingfor someone like Moses to lift the Roman oppression. So they praise God,saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heavenand glory in the highest!”  It'sinteresting—the Gospel of Luke begins with the angel proclaiming, “Peace onearth and goodwill toward men.” Now the people are saying, “Peace in heaven andglory in the highest,” celebrating not only peace on earth but also peace inheaven with the King of glory. Because the King was rejected, there could be nopeace on earth. Instead, there would be constant bitter conflict between thekingdom of God and the kingdom of evil (Luke 12:49-53). There would be no peaceon earth but, thanks to Christ's work on the cross, there is "peace withGod" in heaven (Rom. 5:1; Col. 1:20). The appeal today is, "Be yereconciled to God!" (2 Cor. 5:17-21) SomePharisees in the crowd told Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” But Hereplied, “I tell you, if these should keep silent, the stones would immediatelycry out.” As He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it—a moment we'llexplore tomorrow. For now, Jesus allows this great celebration as the peopleproclaim the King has come. Thesecond reason for this celebration is that Jesus knew it would provoke theJewish leaders to a point where they could no longer tolerate Him. In verse 47,it says that as He was teaching daily in the temple, the chief priests,scribes, and leaders of the people sought to destroy Him. They had alreadytried to stone Him or throw Him off a cliff, but it wasn't time yet. Now,during Passover week, Jesus, the Passover Lamb, fulfills the Old Testamentprophecies. This is why He allows this demonstration, letting the crowdproclaim Him as the Messiah, the King who has come. God'stiming is always perfect and every prophecy concerning Jesus was fulfilled! Todaywith faith and great confidence we can believe that Jesus is indeed the Son ofGod and by believing we have life through His name!

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 23rd of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 6:42:”…how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.”I am laughing because that applies to every single one of us, especially you, sir! You know folks, I love Jesus so much and His teachings are so simple and yet so profound. Remember, people who live in glass houses don't throw stones. Do not criticise, sort your own situation out before you start to criticise and become a hypocrite. Now, I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “hypocrite”. It means “a person who pretends to have higher standards than they really have,” and that is you and I, isn't it? Let's be honest. I have one of my sons who is a very accomplished rugby coach. He has his full colours for Kwazulu-Natal for teaching schoolboys how to play rugby, and often he comes up and visits us on the farm (he is living down in Durban), and we have a little chuckle together. He says to me, “Dad, the main problem I have coaching rugby is not the little boys I have to teach. No, it's their mothers.” That's what he told me! He didn't say so much about the dads. Mom, you must listen up today. He said they stand on the sidelines, and they are telling their little boy that they must kick the ball, or pass the ball or that he must tackle, or that he is messing up the game plan. He said it gets so bad that he has told the little boys - by the way, it is not their fault - ”If you listen to your mother shouting from the sideline, I am going to substitute you for somebody else." That is harsh, hey? But that is what he has to do because otherwise the kids are listening to their parents who have never played rugby, and this young son of mine has got his full colours as a rugby coach! And of course, the little boys listen to the rugby coach and that is why he is so successful.Today, please let us, all of us, take the plank out of our own eyes before we start to tell other people how to live. Let's start doing what Jesus says and not what we think. Have a wonderful day,God bless you and goodbye.

Jesus, at the age of twelve, accompanies Mary and Joseph, and a large group of their relatives and friends to Jerusalem on pilgrimage for Passover. On the day of their return, Jesus lingered, staying in the Temple, but his parents thought that he was among their group when he was not. Mary and Joseph headed back home and after a day of travel realised Jesus was missing, so they returned to Jerusalem, finding the boy three days later. He was found in the Temple in discussion with the elders, listening to them and asking them questions. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation! Books by Dr. Ralph F.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 21st of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Gospel of Luke 6:38. Jesus says:”Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” We are talking about giving, and I want to clarify something here this morning. We are not just talking about money, although money is also a factor. What you give is what you get. If you give nothing, you get nothing. It's very simple, and this is what the Lord is saying but, you cannot out bless God. I love Him so much. I want you to know that. The more you give Him the more He gives you back. You see, because He is a giver by nature. He's not a taker. He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to you and me so that we might have eternal life.We started a little children's home many years ago on the farm. I think you may be aware of that. I'll never forget, at one stage we had 18 cots, little cots in our children's home with babies in it that were all a couple of months old. We didn't do it for any return. We did it because Jesus said that we must take care of them. These children were abandoned and they were found in different places - abandoned in hospitals, abandoned walking down the road, and we took them in. Twenty-seven of them, plus a number that went to be with the Lord because they died in our little children's home, but they were loved up until the day they died, but I want to tell you, you can't out bless the Lord. The Lord says: ”For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”Just yesterday, I went into town to watch one of my little grandsons playing rugby. There was another school playing against the school my grandson goes to, and I looked up and I saw one of the coaches that was coaching the opposition team, and I looked and I saw that it was one of my sons that had grown up in our children's home. He has grown into a fine, handsome young man. I shouted across the field to him and he shouted back, ”Hello Dad, how are you?” I was so proud. I didn't have to tell anybody else, and I have many, many sons and daughters. Some are professional rugby coaches, others are international singers, others are farm managers, others are cordon bleu chefs. We have many that have done so well and we give all the praise, honour and glory to Jesus Christ.Today, start sowing intentionally and you will reap.God bless you and goodbye.

Jesus offers us God's upside-down Kingdom that is universally available to all. Demonstrate mercy to someone this week who is down and out.

[sermon_banner] This morning we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus' words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the nations-even us. Today, in 12:13-21, Jesus warns us about the danger of excessive attachment to getting more and more. Instead, He calls us to pursue true life by being rich toward God- because those are the only riches we will never lose. [sermon_media_line]

In Proverbs chapter 3, King Solomon writes to his children to “bind his Torah around their neck.” What does it mean to bind something around your neck? How do you “write” something on your heart? It seems that Solomon is instructing us to take action, but hasn't it “all been done for us”? What are the three things Torah does for us? Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this final episode of the series by expounding on how pursuing the Torah of Yahweh can bring peace into your life. Then, moving into Jeremiah chapter 23, Rabbi Berkson ties it to Proverbs chapter 3 and discusses the responsibility of being a proper anointed/appointed teacher of the scriptures. How did the teachers of Jeremiah's day scatter the people? For what were they being reprimanded and punished? Is there a Messianic reference in this chapter? How is Yahweh going to fix the problem of inadequate and problematic teachers? Moving on from Jeremiah to Luke chapter 8, we see the event where Yeshua, leaving His disciples in charge of getting them to the other side, took a nap. Then a great storm came upon them, causing the disciples to cry out, “Master, we are perishing!” Rabbi Berkson points out a great deal of insight from the telling of this event in the Gospel of Luke that can be applied to our life today. In Colossians chapter 3, Rabbi Berkson teaches about “the Above,” the world that is Yahweh's, and “the Below,” the world that is not His. He provides clear instruction, stating that if you are of “the Above,” raised with Messiah Yeshua, then you should diminish your passion for or any connection with “the Below.” Subscribe to take advantage of new content every week.

The Gospel of Luke

Pastor Marco continues his Bible study in the Book of Luke.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 18th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Luke 14:2-6:”And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. (He was sick) And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” But they kept silent. And He took him and healed him, and let him go. Then He answered them, saying, “Which of you, having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?” And they could not answer Him regarding these things.” Jesus didn't come down from heaven to earth to break the law. No, He came to fulfil the law. In fact, He is the law. He fulfilled everything His Father told Him to do and He's told you and I to do exactly the same thing. The Sabbath was not made for man to worship. No, the Sabbath was made by God so that we can rest. You can read that in Genesis 2, where God Himself, after working for six days, rested on the seventh day, the Sabbath. Man is not created for the Sabbath. The Sabbath is created for man. Mark 2:27.I'm a farmer and I can tell you if I get up early on a Sunday morning to go to church and I love going to church, ask my family, it's the favourite time of the week for me. We have a church on the farm. We have a congregation. We have two resident pastors here and elders. I am not the preacher. I go there and I sit in the congregation and listen to the word of God every Sabbath. But as a farmer, I want to tell you something. If there is an animal that is caught in a snare, trapped in a dam, I will unfortunately have to leave going to church to save the life of the animal. How much more for a person? Do not get confused. Do not throw the baby out with the water, as they say. The Lord created us so that we could worship Him and part of worshipping Him is obeying Him. If somebody is sick, if somebody's hungry, feed them. He says if you do that, you're doing it unto Me. Today, remember, keep the whole law and the whole law is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul and love your fellow man as yourself.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful Sabbath. Goodbye.*Uncle Angus is aware that according to Jewish tradition, the Sabbath falls on a Saturday, however he is referring to the Sabbath meaning a day of rest in this message.
