Podcasts about Luke 11

We are almost halfway through the book of Luke, and Jesus and His disciples are on their way to Jerusalem and to the crucifixion of Jesus. On the way he teaches His disciples how to pray to God the Father, rebukes those who claim He uses demonic powers, chastises the generation who will put him to death, and denounces the self-righteous Pharisees as hypocrites. Finally, Jesus encourages his disciples to store up treasures in heaven, and to stop worrying about the future. Worrying doesn't add years to your life, so why not choose a better way: spend your life investing the kingdom, rather than yourself.Luke 11 - 1:11 . Luke 12 - 11:36 . Ecclesiastes 6 - 22:14 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Have you ever been in a dangerous situation where someone shouted "watch out!" This phrase is a warning that you are going in the wrong direction or something dangerous is heading your way. It is a call for action - something needs to change or something bad is going to happen. But what if the thing we need to watch out for is us? What if it is our actions or attitudes that is the danger? Not many of us like to hear that we may be wrong. So if we get a warning about something we are doing we tend to blow it off and justify why what we do is right or at least not that big of a deal. In Luke 11:37-54 Jesus tells people to "Watch Out!" He uses the word "woe" which is a warning that judgment is coming because of what someone is doing. It is Jesus saying "Watch out! Something needs to change!" I hope that by looking at what needed to change in Jesus' listeners, we see how we need to still hear this warning today.

Jesus wants us to be persistent in our prayers.

The Lord reminds us and teaches His followers that persistent prayer reveals our faith and hunger for Him. We hope that this message reminds us that God wants to hear from us and doesn't get tired of our prayers. thebridgebluffton.com

When Jesus tears into you, He goes right for the heart.

Luke 11:5-95 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.' 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

As Jesus is walking with His disciples, they ask Him an important lesson, "Lord, teach us to pray." With an example prayer and a parable, Jesus teaches us a fundamental aspect of Christian life. We pray because Jesus prayed, because He made it a primacy, priority, and promise for us - not to do when we feel like it or at our most desperate times only - but in a committed and persistent pattern for our daily lives. And the beautiful thing is that every prayer, every knock, every ask is heard and aligns us to our Father in Heaven for our good and His glory.

When Jesus tears into you, He goes right for the heart.

Have you ever been caught up in the movement of a crowd? Sometimes this is literal, physical movement that pushes you in a direction. But crowds can move us in other types of directions as well. We can be swayed to change our beliefs, our morals, or the way we treat people. This sermon looks at Luke 11:14-36. In this passage Jesus interacts with a crowd of people made up of different groups. Some are amazed at the spectacle of what he does. Others are skeptical of his teaching. Others are even slanderous and say things against Jesus. We see how he interacts with these groups and are challenged to think about whether we are just following the crowd or if we are willing to break out of the crowd and follow Christ.

Religious hypocrites fear other people, because they don't fear the Lord. Followers of Jesus fear the Lord, so they have no reason to fear other people.

Revive Us, Oh Lord! Posturing Ourselves For Revival

EVG DOUG SMITH 6 6 25

Send me a Text Message!So Jesus tells this story to teach a lesson about prayer.  It is the story of man who has a late night hospitality emergency.  Late night guests have come, but as He and his wife frantically search their cupboards for bread for a late night meal. It's midnight, no convience stores, the only possibility is the next door neighbor.  They always have plenty. So he goes next door...(Bang, Bang, Bang,) nothing...  (Bang, Bang, Bang). "Go away, comes the voice from inside."  "But friend...I need some bread." "Go away, the door is already locked, and my children are here with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything."But the man in need doesn't go away. He keeps knocking, till finally, not because of friendship but because he is annoyinly persistent, the neighbor with plenty gets up and gives what is needed to the neighbor with nothing. This story teaches us about the power of persistant  prayer.  But don't miss the even greater truth. We are not God's needy neighbors, we're his kids.

Wednesday – Luke 11:9-13Jesus continued, “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

In this powerful sermon, missionary and pastor Dustin Webb invites us to reflect deeply on the role of the Holy Spirit in God's Kingdom and in our daily lives. Through Scripture, he challenges us to consider: Are we truly relying on the Spirit as we should? This message will stir your heart and prompt a fresh dependence on the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Send me a Text Message!As quickly as time goes by, if you don't put your heart into the things that matter, you'll miss them! There is a request in Luke 11, for Jesus from a guy who had spent one-on-one time with Jesus, and I think the request is meant to point us to something that matters.  If you miss every other point I make in this episode, write these two down. 1)  If prayer matters this much to Jesus, I want it to matter to me.  So I'm going to start by asking, Jesus teach me that.  Teach me to pray.  Shape my heart so that prayer matters to me like it matters to you. 2) If I want to learn how to pray I need to learn everything I can from Jesus about  prayer. Jesus teach us to pray!

Send me a Text Message!Once when Jesus had been out praying, one of his disciples came to him as he finished and said, "Lord, teach us to pray..." They had been watching Jesus; front-row seats to watch the greatest pray-er who ever prayed. Jesus' habit was to rise early in the morning to talk with His Father.  In the evening He'd often go to the Mount of Olives or some other quiet spot to pray. And don't you suppose that the disciples noticed that when Jesus prayed stuff happened.  Seas calmed.  Dead people get alive.  Bread multiplies.  Wine created. Mountain-top experiences. Stuff like that ever happen when you pray? So it was perhaps understandable, that the only recorded time that the disciples asked Jesus to teach them anything, it was prayer. Teach us to pray!

In this passage Jesus confronts us all with a striking and inescapable choice. We are either with him, or we are against him. Where do you stand with Jesus?

In this uncomfortable passage, Jesus pronounces six woes over the religious leaders of His day - six red flags that alert us to unhealthy leadership

This is the message from our Thursday evening service on 5/29/2025 with Pastor Chet Lowe.

Rev. Dr. Tassie Green, Interim Senior Pastor

Ever felt like you're just going through the motions in your faith? In this challenging episode, Pastor Derek Holmes invites us to an uncomfortable dinner party recorded in Luke 11:37-12:3. Jesus, as the guest of honor, directly confronts his Pharisee hosts, revealing their hypocrisy. He exposes how they meticulously cultivate an outward appearance of righteousness while their hearts remain untouched by true holiness. But the Pharisees aren't the only ones under scrutiny. Jesus then turns to the Scribes, the religious lawyers of the day, and uncovers how their rigid legalism was burdening and oppressing the very people they were meant to guide. Both groups, Pastor Holmes explains, were practicing a "tainted religion" – one that prioritized external show over internal transformation. Join us for "Behind the Mask" as Pastor Holmes unpacks this potent encounter. Discover why true Christianity must go more than skin deep. It's a call to examine our own hearts and ensure our faith is genuine, gives all honor and glory to Him, and fully welcomes His transformative presence in every aspect of our lives. This is a lesson for us all on the vital importance of authenticity in our walk with Christ.

The fear of God- The fear of man leads to hypocrisy. The fear of God leads to peace and spiritual wealth. The man who fears God is concerned with eternal things. Jesus warned against covetousness, which can distract us from having an eternal mindset.

The fear of man- Jesus openly challenged the Pharisees because of their religious hypocrisy. They were more concerned about their outward appearance than the state of their hearts. God always knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts where man can't see.

A light to your path- The truth of God's word brings light into our lives to save us from the darkness of sin, and to guide us as we walk with Christ. Some of the Pharisees thought they were obeying God's word, but they were still spiritually blind.

The strong man- Some people explained the miraculous things Jesus did by saying He was possessed by the devil. Jesus shared a brief illustration to demonstrate His power and authority over dark spiritual forces. You might be mocked for believing in the reality of spiritual warfare.

Ask, seek, knock- If God already knows our thoughts, why does He tell us to ask and seek Him through prayer? God wants us to come to him persistently and confidently like a child goes to their father with requests.

Teach us to pray- People have all kinds of methods and strategies for an effective prayer life. If we are not careful, that can turn into legalism. Jesus shared "the Lord's prayer" with His disciples as a model for what the heart of our prayers and communion with God should be.
