In Luke 5, Jesus transforms Peter's night of failed fishing into a miraculous catch, but the real miracle was the invitation to follow Him. Peter had to leave behind three things: his failures that defined him, his fear of being unworthy, and his anxiety about trusting God with his future. The boat represented Peter's old life - his identity, security, and limitations. When Jesus called him to follow, Peter had to make a choice between the familiar boat and an unknown future with Christ. Following Jesus isn't about adding Him to our existing life, but about forsaking our old ways to pursue something greater. God doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the called, using unlikely people to accomplish His purposes.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories to illustrate God's heart to seek and to save the lost. In the parable of the lost coin, the woman represents the bride of Christ. To find the lost coin, the woman lights an oil lamp to light up the darkness. Oil is a picture of God's Spirit, and the lamp is a picture of God's Son!The gospel shines in the darkness but never hides from it. NOW is the time to step out of darkness into the light and receive eternal life.

In Luke 16, Jesus shares two parables that challenge how we view wealth, faithfulness, and eternity. Pastors Courtney, David, and Clayton unpack the stories of the shrewd manager and the rich man and Lazarus, exploring what they reveal about stewardship, generosity, and where our hearts truly belong.

In Luke 9 Jesus gives several followers or would-be followers lessons to think about. They are lesson for us to think about also. Missionary Matthew Doebler is our guest. 

In Luke 14:25-27, Jesus uses shocking language—calling His followers to "hate" their families—to emphasize that discipleship requires total allegiance to Him above all else. The Greek word translated "hate" (miseo) is comparative, meaning we're to love Christ more than even our closest relationships. Jesus isn't anti-family; He's calling us to properly order our loves.

Pastor Kevin continues the journey through Luke. In Luke 8:22–56, Jesus reveals His authority over nature, demons, disease, and death—stilling the storm, freeing the oppressed, healing the afflicted, and raising the dead. Each scene displays His sovereign power and tender compassion toward those who trust Him. Because Jesus is Lord of all, we can walk by faith, not by fear, as we face the storms and uncertainties of life.

In Luke 6:37-42, we encounter a powerful teaching on self-awareness and judgment. Jesus asks, 'Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the log in your own?' This question challenges us to examine our tendency to judge others while overlooking our own faults. The passage reminds us that true spiritual growth begins with honest self-reflection. We're called to address our own shortcomings before attempting to correct others. This teaching invites us to cultivate humility and empathy, recognizing that we all struggle with sin. By acknowledging our own 'logs,' we can approach others with compassion rather than condemnation. Ultimately, this scripture encourages us to foster a community of grace, where we support each other's growth instead of passing judgment.

In Luke 8:22-25, the disciples followed Jesus into the boat, and a storm hit them out of nowhere—bigger than anything they could handle on their own. Isn't that life? Problems show up suddenly, pressures rise, and we realize we don't have the power to fix it. But here's the truth: before the storm ever started, Jesus had already given the answer—“Let's go to the other side.” If He said it, He'll see it through. The storm may be bigger than you, but it's not bigger than Him.

We're in week 2 of our series Dirty Words — tackling the things we often overlook but that deeply affect our walk with God. This week's word? Busy.

Real security isn't found in wealth. In Luke 12:13-34, Jesus warns us to “be on your guard against all kinds of greed” and urges us to be rich toward God. In this episode of the Bible Savvy Podcast, the team explores God and money–and what it really means to seek God's Kingdom over temporary treasures. … Continue reading "Bible Savvy Podcast | S6 Episode 8: Luke 12"

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1 NLT) One question people ask when a loved one dies is whether the person will still be aware of what’s happening on earth. The Bible suggests that the answer is yes, although not in the ways some people believe. Some grieving people cling to the belief that their departed loved ones watch over them, guide them, and even communicate with them. But that’s not what the Bible tells us. What the Bible does suggest is that people in Heaven are aware of loved ones who aren’t saved. In Luke 16, Jesus tells the story of a poor man named Lazarus and a rich man. Both men died. Lazarus went to a place of comfort where he sat beside Abraham at a heavenly banquet. The rich man went to a place of torment. The rich man was fully aware of the people he had left behind. He asked Abraham to send the righteous Lazarus on a mission to them. “Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home. For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this place of torment’” (verses 27–28 NLT). The Bible also suggests that when people on earth receive Jesus as Savior and Lord, it becomes public knowledge in Heaven. In Luke 15, Jesus tells a parable about a lost sheep and a parable about a lost coin. When that which was lost is found—that is, when those who were lost come to Christ—there is great rejoicing. Jesus said, “In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!” (verse 7 NLT). He also said, “In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents” (verse 10 NLT). The Bible suggests that people in Heaven may be aware of the time and place of earthly events. Revelation 6 talks about a group of believers who are martyred for their faith. “They shouted to the Lord and said, ‘O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?’” (verse 10 NLT). The martyrs know that they were killed for following Christ on earth. They’re aware of the passing of time. And in verse 11, they’re aware that other people on earth will join them. Finally, Hebrews 12:1 suggests that people in Heaven are cheering us on. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us” (NLT). Your Christian loved ones have a vested interest in your spiritual well-being; death will not change that. Reflection question: What do you want your loved ones in Heaven to see?

In Luke 7:36–50 a woman with a painful past pours out extravagant devotion at Jesus' feet—and Jesus declares her forgiven. In this sermon we learn that those who have been forgiven much love much, how true forgiveness produces costly, public, and unhindered worship, and what that means for our lives today.   Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

The Practices: PrayerOctober 5, 2025 • Zach Hume • Romans 8:26–27, Luke 11This Sunday, Zach Hume continued our fall series, More Like Him. This week's focus was on the spiritual practice of prayer. The way that we think about prayer—whether as requests, warfare, intimacy, or disappointment—shapes how we engage God. In Luke 11, the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray because they saw Him approach God with unique intimacy. Jesus revealed that prayer is not performance or ritual but relationship—the language of children speaking with their Father. When we see prayer as relational, it becomes something to enjoy, not master; to join in, not initiate; a gift, not a burden; a necessity for life with God; and a primary way we are formed to look more like Jesus.MORE LIKE HIM RESOURCES: https://fellowshipknox.org/moreWEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

In Luke's characterization of the early church, he describes them as having "sincere hearts"...but what does that mean? In the context of our modern culture, the definition of sincerity seems to shift depending on who you ask: is it just saying what's on your mind? Is it being "real" (whatever that means)? Does integrity have any role? Examining the story of Ruth, we see that in God's design for how to live, you cannot separate integrity and sincerity. Our sincerity costs us something in our interpersonal relationships, in that we risk being vulnerable with our true, authentic selves. It is our true authentic selves, however, that God has made us to be and He will use who we are, wherever we are.  Looking at Naomi in the story, we also see the importance of sincerity of our worship. Naomi points us to the reality that sometimes the most honest worship we can offer God is "I'm really mad at you right now". From Ruth and Naomi's story, we know that when we bring our authentic selves before God, He will use it. So we don't need to be ashamed or embarrassed of our doubts, fears, or laments -- we just need to be honest about them and let God lead wherever He's taking us. By Rebekah Covington

In Luke 19:28–48, Jesus enters Jerusalem as a different kind of king—not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. The crowd expected a ruler of force and power, but Jesus came with humility, compassion, and restoration. This message from our Power series explores how Jesus redefines greatness and power—not by domination, but by obedience, peace, and love. At Mosaic, we believe that true strength is found in surrender, and that the King we didn't expect is the one we've always needed.Join us as we rediscover what it means to follow a King who rides a donkey, sings with joy, weeps with compassion, and restores what's been broken.

The Village Chapel - 10/05/2025Why did Jesus die? Was it betrayal, political corruption, mob injustice—or was there something deeper? In Luke 23:26–49 we come to the very heart of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. Here, in one of history's most pivotal moments, we see God's justice, love, wisdom, and power converge. The crucifixion is not just a tragic ending—it is God's eternal plan to bring redemption, forgiveness, and new life to all who will believe.In this message, “Why Did Jesus Die? The Message and Meaning of the Cross”, we'll explore the predictions of the cross, the people surrounding it, the paradox that Jesus would not save Himself so He could save us, and the power of His finished work. Whether you're asking questions about Christianity or longing to go deeper in your faith, this passage reveals the astounding truth: Jesus took our place so that we might find life in Him.Join Pastor Jim as we stand at the foot of the cross in Luke 23 and discover why the death of Jesus changes everything—for you, for me, for the world.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

What comes to mind when you think of God the Father? In Luke 15, Jesus paints one of the most powerful portraits of who God is — not just as a distant deity, but as a personal, loving, gracious, and forgiving Father. God isn't a far-off “higher power,” but a personal Father who knows you, loves you, and calls you His child. No matter where you are, you can come home to the Father today!

In Luke 5:1–11 Jesus calls Peter to surrender his way and follow — and the result is an abundant life.

When Jesus Stopped a Funeral | Christ For YouText: Luke 7:11–17 | 16th Sunday after TrinityDescription:What happens when Jesus meets death head-on? In Luke 7, He stops a funeral, speaks life into the grave, and gives a grieving mother her son back. This sermon proclaims how Christ's compassion breaks through despair, how His Word conquers death, and how His resurrection gives hope to every believer facing loss. Hear the Gospel clearly: Jesus sees your grief, feels your sorrow, and promises life that death cannot undo.Subscribe & Share:​Apple Podcasts: Christ For You​Spotify: Listen on Spotify​Website: ZionWG.org/podcastStay Connected:​Email: PastorRojas@ZionWG.org​Website: ZionWG.orgIf this sermon strengthened your faith, share it with others and leave a review.

This morning, we will celebrate World Communion Sunday, a day when Christians around the globe gather at the Lord's Table. In Luke 24, the disciples' eyes were opened at Emmaus when Jesus blessed and broke bread with them, turning their despair into joy and their confusion into hope. At the Lord's Table, we too encounter Christ's living presence—a presence that binds us together across nations and generations, strengthens us for the journey, and nourishes us for the healing of the world. Sermon on Luke 24:28-35, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on October 5th, 2025.

So you want to be a disciple... Sounds simple until Jesus starts describing what that really means. In Luke 17:1–10, Jesus challenges his followers to forgive endlessly, serve humbly, and trust fully. This week we'll explore what discipleship looks like and how God invites forgiven sinners to be humble servants in his kingdom.Vicar Schroeder's sermon preached at Faith at October 5, 2025. Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

Have you ever wondered what happens when Jesus shows up unexpectedly in a city? In Luke 7, an unremarkable town called Nain became forever memorable through a divine visitation that transformed lives. Pastor Chad powerfully illustrates how God's presence brings three life-changing gifts: His personal visitation that demands our full response, His supernatural help when we're at our weakest, and His unmerited favor that makes us better than we could be on our own. From modern miracle stories of restored marriages and healed bodies to ancient biblical accounts, this message reminds us that God still visits His people today—especially when we honor His presence and cry out in desperation. Don't miss this inspiring exploration of how to prepare for and respond to God's visitation in your life. Watch now to discover how to position yourself for a divine encounter!

The gospel calls for a response: Will you repent of your sin and trust in Christ, or will you reject His call and remain in your sin? Many who choose the latter cite a perceived lack of evidence or demand a clearer sign. In Luke 11:29–32, Jesus confronts this challenge and declares that His own life is the ultimate sign and the decisive evidence of the truthfulness of His claims. In the words of Christ and the facts of His life, we have all we need to accept, submit to, and boldly proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.

Jesus often warned His disciples about the hypocrisy of religious leaders. In Luke 17, He also exhorted His followers, “Watch yourselves.” On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg provides questions we can ask to check ourselves for evidence of hypocrisy. ----------------------------------------- • Click here and look for "FROM THE SERMON" to stream or read the full message. • This program is part of the series ‘A Study in Luke, Volume 10' • Learn more about our current resource, request your copy with a donation of any amount. •If you or someone you know is in a season of suffering, be encouraged!

Inspired by the voices of prophets like Haggai and Zechariah, who urged the people to rebuild in the name of their God, Hunter joined Zerubbabel and Jeshua in rekindling the effort to reconstruct the Temple. Their work soon attracted attention from the authorities: Tataniah, the governor west of the Euphrates, accompanied by his associates, challenged the project, demanding to know who had authorized the reconstruction. Despite the obstacles and scrutiny, Hunter and his companions persevered, guided by faith and the encouragement of the prophets—striving to restore both their temple and their community spirit. Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this October 3rd episode, join your host Hunter as we journey together through Day 277 of our year-long exploration of scripture.

Here are 10 thoughtful discussion questions based on the October 3rd, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible: Reflecting on Ezra 5-6, what stood out to you about the rebuilding of the Temple and the challenges the Jews faced? How did God's intervention influence the outcome? In Psalm 138, David expresses deep gratitude and trust in God's faithfulness. Are there recent moments in your life where you experienced God's faithfulness in a personal way? In Luke 16, Jesus shares the parable of the shrewd manager. What lessons do you think Jesus wanted us to learn about stewardship, honesty, and the use of worldly resources? The story of the rich man and Lazarus highlights issues of wealth, privilege, and compassion. How do you see these themes playing out in your own life or in your community? Hunter discusses being blinded by riches and what it means to ‘forget your name.' In practical terms, what are ways we can guard our hearts against spiritual blindness or self-centeredness? What role do faith and trust play in our interactions with others, especially those in need, as reflected in the teachings of this episode? The episode highlights “the named ones”—those remembered in scripture for their faith. Who are the ‘named ones' in your own spiritual journey that inspire you? Hunter encourages listeners to take care of both body and soul. How do you balance spiritual and physical well-being in your daily life? Prayer is central to this episode. How has prayer—either through traditional prayers like the Lord's Prayer, or your own spontaneous prayers—shaped your relationship with God? The episode ends with the reminder that ‘you are loved.' How does knowing and internalizing God's love change the way you approach daily challenges and relationships? Feel free to use these questions for personal reflection or group discussion! Certainly!

This episode weaves together Scripture reading, reflection, prayer, and practical life encouragement, offering both spiritual insight and daily life application for listeners. Today we dove deep into the wisdom of Ezra, Psalms, and Luke, exploring how faith, gratitude, and humility can transform both our personal and professional lives. We learned that true success isn't measured by wealth or status, but by the richness of our soul and our generosity toward others. Remember: Invest in what truly matters—your character, your purpose, and your impact on those around you. Let every day be an opportunity to build lasting value, both in business and in life. Absolutely! Here's a LinkedIn post inspired by the October 3rd, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast: On today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, I was reminded of the power of faith, perspective, and gratitude. Hunter took us through passages from Ezra, Psalms, and Luke—forming a moving meditation on humility, spiritual focus, and the value of small, daily investments in our souls. Here are three key takeaways that resonated with me: Guard against the blindness of privilege: The story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16) serves as a reminder not to let wealth or comfort blind us to our own need for God or the needs of others. Faithfulness in little things matters: Whether it's tending to the tasks at hand, caring for your health, or nurturing your relationships—Hunter encourages us to value the daily “little things” that shape our character. Invest in what truly pays off: As Hunter beautifully put it, spending time listening, reflecting, and drawing near to God is an investment that yields lifelong dividends, unlike many of the distractions that vie for our attention. Let's prioritize what's truly valuable—both in our spiritual journeys and our day-to-day routines. Have you made time lately for what matters most? #DailyRadioBible #Faith #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualWellness #Gratitude Subject: Feasting with the Named Ones – DRB Newsletter for October 3, 2025 Dear DRB Family, Grace and peace to you on this beautiful October day! As always, thank you for joining us on our daily journey through the Bible. Our latest episode, "October 3rd, 2025," is now available, and we're so glad you could share in this time around the warmth of God's love. Today's Readings: Ezra 5-6 Psalm 138 Luke 16 Highlights from This Episode In today's reading, we revisited the incredible story of how faith, perseverance, and God's providence enabled the Israelites to rebuild the temple amidst opposition. As we learned from Ezra, even earthly kings like Cyrus and Darius can become surprising instruments in God's redemption story. Psalm 138 reminded us of God's constant faithfulness, while in Luke 16, Jesus offered the stirring parable of the rich man and Lazarus. A Reflection on Names, Riches, and Faith Host Hunter shared a poignant meditation on the difference between the “named ones” and the nameless in Jesus's story. While the rich man in the parable was left without a name—lost in his riches and blind to his need for God—Lazarus was named, honored, and welcomed at Abraham's side. The reminder for us: our trust belongs not in wealth or reputation, but in the God who raises the humble and knows us by name. Let us nurture hearts that recognize our need for God and rejoice in the gifts—both earthly and eternal—that He freely gives. Daily Encouragement Hunter also encouraged us to move our bodies in gratitude for the life we have, just as we invest time nourishing our souls with Scripture.

Jesus often warned His disciples about the hypocrisy of religious leaders. In Luke 17, He also exhorted His followers, “Watch yourselves.” On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg provides questions we can ask to check ourselves for evidence of hypocrisy.

I meet a lot of people who say, “God? No, no, no religion's not for me. I've made too many mistakes,” or they'll say, “That kind of faith is for people who were raised in church, for religious people.” But the truth is this—God's invitation is for everyone. It's for everyone. Yes, including you. In Luke 15 in the Bible, Jesus talks about a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep to go after the one that's lost. That's how much God values every single person. No one is forgotten; no one too far gone. You don't have to figure everything out. You don't have to find yourself. All you have to do is take one honest step towards Him. You matter and you're seen. God has not counted you out. Don't wait another minute. God's invitation is here, right now. He's pursuing you. Will you say yes to Him and begin this relationship with the Living God today? Always remember, there is hope with God. radio.hopewithgod.com

What does true generosity look like? Is it measured by the size of the gift, or is it something deeper?In Luke 21:1–4, Jesus praises a widow who gave only two small coins. At first glance, her offering seems insignificant compared to the wealthy donors around her. Yet, in Jesus' eyes, her gift was greater than them all. Why? Because God doesn't measure generosity by the amount—it's the heart behind it that matters.The Scene at the TemplePicture the temple courts: the wealthy making large, noticeable contributions, drawing admiration for their gifts. Then comes a poor widow. No fanfare. No applause. Just two copper coins—economically worthless. Yet Jesus declares that she has given more than anyone else.The difference? The wealthy gave from their abundance, gifts that cost them little. The widow gave out of her poverty—all she had to live on. Her gift was not just generous; it was sacrificial, risky, and rooted in trust.This theme echoes throughout Scripture. In 1 Samuel 16:7, the Lord tells Samuel, “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Paul also affirms this in 2 Corinthians 8:12: “If the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.”God doesn't call us to give what we don't have. He calls us to give cheerfully, faithfully, and with hearts surrendered to Him.God Wants Your HeartThe widow's gift also points us to the gospel itself. In 2 Corinthians 8:9 we read, “Though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.” Jesus gave everything for us—holding nothing back. When we give sacrificially, we reflect His love and generosity.Maybe you've felt your giving is too small to matter. But Scripture shows otherwise. In John 6, a boy offered five loaves and two fish—and Jesus fed thousands. The issue isn't what you have, but what God can do with it.Generosity in God's Kingdom isn't about status or size. It's about surrender. A gift given in faith is never small. Whether two coins or two million dollars, the real question is: Am I giving out of abundance or out of trust?The story of the widow's mite isn't meant to pressure us into giving more. Instead, it frees us to see generosity the way God does—not as an economic equation but as an act of worship. He doesn't need your money; He wants your heart.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I lost money in my 401(k) when I became disabled, and now it's sitting in an IRA that isn't earning anything.

What does it mean to deny yourself? To take up your cross? Why did Jesus say these things? And what do people mean when they say “we have a cross to bear”? In Luke 8, Jesus casts out demons from a man. Does that mean he was automatically saved later at Pentecost? Why or why not?

Tuesday, 30 September 2025   Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; Matthew 13:24   Another parable He near-set them, saying, “It is likened, the kingdom of the heavens, to a man having sown good seed in his field” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus finished the explanation of the parable of the Sower. Now, He immediately moves on. Matthew records, “Another parable He near-set them.”   A new word is seen, paratithémi. It signifies to place alongside, before, near, etc. It is used at times when referring to placing food before someone. In Luke 23:46, it is the word Jesus uses to commit His Spirit to His Father. Jesus is setting near, or presenting, this new parable. In presenting it, He was “saying, ‘It is likened, the kingdom of the heavens.”   The verb is aorist. He doesn't say, “It is like,” or “It will be like.” Rather, it is a state that already exists. In God's mind, all of history is laid about before Him. Therefore, the Bible can speak about what lies ahead in various ways.   The past can be called also into the present, such as in Matthew 22:32. Therefore, regardless of when the events of the kingdom Jesus is referring to occur, the truth exists already in God's mind. Jesus is likening this state through a parable. His comparison is “to a man having sown good seed in his field.”   The meaning of “good” is not the same seed, some spoiled and some good. Rather, it is a type of seed that is good. For example, sowing wheat is sowing good seed. A farmer wouldn't take thorn seeds and plant them. That would be bad seed.   This farmer has seed that is for a good purpose.   Life application: It is good to study the meaning of words in the Bible. The new word in this verse is variously translated as commend, commit, entrust, give evidence, present, propose, propound, put forth, relate, serve, set before, tell, etc.   The word itself stresses the nearness of the setting. It can be hard to match a comparable English word to all of the instances where it is used. In other words, Jesus sets this parable before the people. Food is set before people at a table. Jesus sets His Spirit before God. One word may not convey each meaning as we might understand.   The literal “near-set” may also not be understandable, but it is a very close translation. As you read the Bible more and begin to study it in detail, doing these word studies will help you to see where a translation that you thought conveyed meaning may not be what is intended.   Saying “told” is true, but it fails to give the more exacting nature of the word. There are other words where saying “told” is fine, but here it lacks the intended nuance. So be sure to check things out if you are at all in doubt. Your time interacting with the word will only be as rewarding as the amount of study and effort you put into it.   Having said that, there is nothing wrong with also picking up a paraphrase and enjoying it simply for the general information being conveyed. Whatever circumstance you find yourself in at the time, just be sure to have the Bible (in some form) with you. It is your personal window into understanding the mind of God. Be sure to read your Bible!!   Lord God, Your word is a treasure and a blessing to our souls. Thank You for how we can come to know You and Your intent for us in such a precious and personal manner. Praise to You for Your word that tells us of Your love for us as expressed in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Alan continues our Invested series with a message on generosity. Generosity isn't automatic—it's not the default. If we want to build bigger hearts, we have to be intentional and get trained in it. Hebrews 13:16 reminds us: “Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” In Luke 12, Jesus warns us that life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. We face two life strategies—will we store, or will we share? True generosity is purposeful—not giving when there's an appeal or out of obligation, but giving the first fruits to the Lord and seeking every opportunity to live generously. From interested to invested, take your next step in generosity today

In Luke chapter 4, we read of the Lord Jesus facing temptation in the wilderness. After forty days, He was hungry and attacked by Satan himself. Yet unlike us, Christ triumphed—refusing to abuse His power, refusing to tempt God, and refusing to bow to the wicked one. In this episode of Words of Grace, Pastor … Continue reading "The Temptation, from Luke Chapter 4"

In Luke 18, Jesus meets a blind beggar on the road to Jerusalem. Though he lacked physical sight, this man saw more clearly than the disciples themselves—crying out for mercy and recognizing Jesus for who He truly is. In this sermon from our Power series, we explore how faith opens our eyes, how illusions of worldly power blind us, and how Jesus flips our expectations of strength and victory. At Mosaic, we believe real power isn't about control but about trust in the One who heals, restores, and transforms. Join us as we discover how even a small, honest faith can change everything.

Beauty for Ashes, Diamonds for DirtLuke 23:1-25The Village Chapel - 09/28/2025In the early morning hours of what we now call Good Friday, Jesus was taken by the religious leaders to stand trial before Pontius Pilate. In Luke's account, Jesus speaks only five words when he responds to Pilate's question, “Are you the King of the Jews?” and says, “It is as you say.” We come to a crossroads in this account: Courage and cowardice converge; actual authority and power are displayed through silent suffering; and Jesus, being entirely innocent, willingly exchanges his life for the life of a convicted criminal and takes his place on the cross. What looks like a victory for Satan ends up being the masterstroke of God's Divine plan of rescue and redemption for the human race.

When was the last time you checked in on your soul? In Luke 10:38, Martha was busy and distracted while Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet. And in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Paul prays for our whole spirit, soul, and body to be kept blameless. Together, these verses remind us that what happens in our soul shapes everything about our lives.In this message, we'll learn how to trace the trouble in our soul—identifying where worry, restlessness, or brokenness have taken root—and how to invite God's healing presence into those deep places. Your soul matters to God. Don't ignore the trouble—trace it back, bring it to Him, and let Him make you whole again.

In Luke 14, Jesus taught that it is better to take the less noticeable seat than to seek after the greatest seat at the table. God will tell you to take the least popular seat, the most improbable choice, because He is working His righteousness in you

At the very center of God's kingdom is His relentless pursuit of one more. In Luke 15, Jesus shows us a choice: will we be a community of grumbling, or a community of grace? Join us as we discover the heart of God's kingdom—a heart that rejoices every time one more is found.

Storms have a way of exposing what we truly trust. In Luke 8, the disciples faced a raging sea with Jesus asleep in the boat, and their fear drowned out their faith. But the question Jesus asked them—“Where is your faith?”—still echoes in our lives today. When the winds howl, the bills rise, the diagnosis comes, or relationships break, where do you place your trust? This message will challenge you to locate your faith, lift it off the shifting waves of circumstance, and anchor it in the unshakable Savior who commands both the winds and the waters.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this September 22nd episode, we mark day 265 of our journey through Scripture, with just 100 days left in the year. Today, Hunter guides us through powerful passages from Daniel 9 and 10, Psalm 123, and Luke 5. We reflect on Daniel's heartfelt prayers, angelic encounters, and the overwhelming weight of prophetic visions—reminding us of the strength we find in God's presence and touch. In Luke's Gospel, we witness the calling of the disciples, miraculous healings, and Jesus' radical message of forgiveness and new life. Join us as we meditate on God's unfailing love, receive encouragement for our challenges ahead, and center our lives on Christ's peace and mercy. Whether you're feeling strong or in need of a “second touch,” today's episode invites you to open your heart and receive the hope and strength God freely offers. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He gives us a second touch. Daniel was overwhelmed by what he saw—by the vision God gave and by the sheer enormity of what was behind and what was coming ahead. The weight of the call, the ruins of the past, the challenges of the present—all of it left Daniel saying, "My strength is gone. I can hardly breathe." Have you ever felt that way? Staring ahead at what seems impossible, or looking back at the devastation behind, and feeling paralyzed, frightened, unable to move or even catch your breath? If you've ever been there, you are not alone. Daniel was there too. But here's the miracle: God touched Daniel again. The scripture tells us, “Then the one who looked like a man touched me again, and I felt my strength returning. ‘Don't be afraid,' he said, ‘for you are very precious to God. Please be encouraged! Be strong!'” And as Daniel listened to those words, his strength came back and he was ready to listen—ready to go on. That second touch—the reassurance, the presence, the love of God—is what we all desperately need. God's love for Daniel, spoken in comfort and shown through his touch, is the same love he offers to us today. When the road ahead is daunting or when the shame of our past weighs us down, God comes near, offering not just guidance but the very presence and strength we cannot conjure up ourselves. Do you need a second touch from God? Open your hands, even now. Whisper, “Yes, Lord. Thank You.” Let His love, His touch, restore you. His word to Daniel is His word to you: Don't be afraid. You are precious to God. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. It's a prayer I have for my family—for my wife and my daughters and my son. And it's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

In Luke 6, Jesus challenges expectations—healing on the Sabbath, choosing his twelve apostles, and teaching through the Sermon on the Plain. Crowds gather with excitement, but Jesus' words cut deep, calling for love of enemies, mercy, and building lives on a solid foundation.

In Luke 14, Jesus gives us a parable full of paradoxes. In the parable, many are invited to a banquet, but only the outcasts and marginalized show up. The paradoxes are that God's greatest blessings can also become our greatest barriers, the gospel is both radically exclusive and radically inclusive, and to dine with Jesus is also to die with Jesus. To become good hearers of this parable and receptive to its gospel truth, we too must wrestle with these paradoxes that remind us God's invitation to His Kingdom is urgent, costly, and worth everything.

At Houston Northeast, the second rhythm of discipleship is all about surrender—choosing God's kingdom over our own. In Luke 9:23–25, Jesus challenges us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. This message will help you see the difference between kingdom priority—giving God our first and best—and kingdom sacrifice—saying "yes" whenever and however God calls you.
