luke 12

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.On Thursday, February 19, we're in Luke 12, and Jesus drops a warning that hits like a gavel: your life does not consist in the abundance of your possessions.This episode sits in the progression we've been walking all week:Haggai 1: misplaced prioritiesDeuteronomy 8: prosperity that makes you forget GodLuke 12: the moment comfort turns into covetousnessJesus tells the parable of the rich fool—a man with overflowing harvests who solves abundance with bigger barns… but never once talks to God, never once thanks God, never once thinks about stewardship—only storage. And God's verdict is terrifyingly simple: “Fool… this night your soul is required of you.”Here's the line you need today: Jesus refuses to referee greed. He exposes it. He warns against it. And He calls us out of hoarding into stewarding—because eternity doesn't consult your retirement plan.So pray one honest prayer today: “Lord, what do You want me to do with what You've given me?” Not someday. Not after “enough.” Today.

Year of Parables – Episode 8: When someone in the crowd asks Jesus to step into the role of judge in a dispute that was taking place, discover not only how Jesus responded, but a powerful parable about how we should respond to God when He sends us blessings. Listen to this episode and/or subscribe on ReflectiveBibleStudy.com...

In this episode we work through Luke 12:22-34 together, exploring Jesus' statement to his disciples to “not worry.” Together we discuss the misconceptions often associated with Jesus' message of God's provision and care as we work through the passage.

In this message, Trip Lee teaches from Luke 12:22–34 and calls worry what it really is: an unwelcome guest. Jesus doesn't deny that we have real needs, but he tells us not to invite worry into the equation because it distorts reality and steals peace. Instead, Jesus gives us three reasons worry doesn't belong.

Instead, Jesus gives us three reasons worry doesn't belong.

In this episode we continue on in Luke 12, looking at Luke 12:13-21 where Jesus shares the parable of the rich fool in response to a question from the crowd. As we work through the interaction between Jesus and a member of the crowd, we come to recognize the misplaced focus of the rich fool. Not only is the rich fool nearsighted, he is also functioning in a self-focused way. At no point does the rich fool acknowledge the reality or presence of God. From the parable, we hear Jesus calling them then, and us now, into deeper dependence on God in all things, to live richly towards Him. Practically speaking, this heart disposition walks in humility both recognizing God as the source and also the one we should go to as we work to discern what we should be doing with what we have at each different moment.

February 1, 2026 - Rev. Alexander S. Brown

In this episode we move into Luke 12:1-12 where we see Jesus warn against the Leaven of the Pharisees, speak on fearing God alone, and the encouragement to confess Christ. From this passage we discuss the pervasiveness of hypocrisy in our own lives and the lives of those around us, and the importance of removing our masks so that we may live in authentic relationship with Jesus even now. Too often hypocrisy is rooted in fear of what others may do to us or think about us, and Jesus' invitation in this passage is to keep our focus on Him and trust that He has our back through it all.

The Word of the Day with Rene' Holaday for Wednesday, 1-28-26: Luke 12: 1-12, "Jesus Teaches the Fear of God."

January 25, 2026 - Rev. Alexander S. Brown

 32 Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.Nolite timere pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum. 33 Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.Vendite quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis : quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.St Peter, instructed by the Blessed Virgin, founded the Order of Our Lady of Mercy for the Redemption of Captives. When all funds for the work were exhausted, the religious were bound by their rule to take the places of the prisoners with the infidels. St Peter died A.D. 1256.

In our last episode, Jesus encouraged his disciples to forget about storing up treasures in this life, but to store up treasures in heaven instead. With this in mind, he also teaches them to stop worrying about the future, for the future is in God's hands. He is able to provide for all of creation, and if he is able to do that, he is also able to give the kingdom to his people. Later, he encourages his disciples to remain ready for their master's return, faithfully serving the Lord at all times. Those who have been given much will have much required of them, and likewise those who have been entrusted with much, even more will be expected. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Fear was never meant to rule your life. When money becomes our security, anxiety takes the crown—but Jesus offers a better Kingdom. “Fear not, little flock… seek first the Kingdom.” As we trust the Father, prayer aligns our hearts, generosity releases heaven's resources, and our treasure reshapes our freedom. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Invest in the mission and vision of Westside: https://westsidebaptist.org/give FOLLOW Westside Baptist Church: ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/westsidegainesville ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/westsidegainesville ► Website | https://www.westsidebaptist.org

 35 Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris, 36 And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis : ut, cum venerit et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.Beati servi illi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes : amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati sunt servi illi. 39 But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.Hoc autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam. 40 Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.Et vos estote parati : quia qua hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.St Raymond, eminent minister of the sacrament of Penance, was a priest of the Order of St Dominic, celebrated for his virtues, his miracles and his writings on Canon Law. He died A.D. 1275.Here are some concrete ways we can be more like him today:St. Raymond was a master of canon law, but he didn't use knowledge to dominate others. He used it to clarify, protect, and heal.Seek truth seriously (study, listen, think deeply).Speak truth with charity, not harshness.Use knowledge to serve people, especially when they're confused or vulnerable.Ask yourself: Does my understanding help others find peace and justice?As a confessor and advisor, Raymond emphasized compassion—especially for sinners trying to return to God.Be patient with people's struggles.Make forgiveness easier, not harder.Assume good will before judging motives.He reminds us that law and rules exist for the salvation of souls, not the other way around.Despite his brilliance, Raymond lived simply and accepted responsibilities only when needed.Do the work in front of you well, even if it's unnoticed.Avoid chasing recognition.Say yes to service when it's asked of you in love and obedience.Holiness for him wasn't dramatic—it was steady.St. Raymond advised kings and helped confront moral failures at the highest levels of power.Be willing to speak up when something is wrong.Do so respectfully, without pride or anger.Stand with those harmed by injustice.Truth without courage stays silent; courage without humility becomes harsh. He held both.His effectiveness flowed from a deep spiritual life.Make space for prayer, even when busy.Let prayer shape how you think and act.Ask God for wisdom more than success.1. Love truth, and handle it carefully2. Put mercy at the center3. Serve quietly and faithfully4. Courageously seek justice5. Stay grounded in prayer

"The Rich Fool and The Heart's Treasure"Luke 12:13-34Rev. Craig Luekensoriginally recorded on 1.19.26

Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares that greed deceives us into believing life is found in riches. But greed actually springs from discontentment and produces entitlement, covetousness, selfishness, and a false sense of eternal security. True wealth is being rich toward God and treasuring Christ above all and using our earthly resources to show how deeply we value Him.

[Luke 2:36-39] The significance of her names meaning Grace and favor (Anna), the face of God (Phanuel), and happy or blessed (Asher). Psalm 92 describes Anna in her later years as full of life and service and praise to God. Luke gave this record of her as an encouraging example to older saints throughout the ages that we can remain faithful to the end, and a reminder that no labor in the Lord is in vain.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the January 13th episode of the Daily Radio Bible. Today, Hunter and Heather continue guiding us through our year-long journey in the Scriptures, marking day 13 of our reading plan. In this episode, we step into the stories of Genesis chapters 31–33, witnessing Jacob's struggles and transformation, before turning to the teachings of Jesus in Luke 13. We reflect on how seasons of uncertainty, hardship, and joy invite moments of divine revelation—epiphanies that open our eyes to God's presence and purpose in our lives. Through Jacob's journey, we see what it means to walk by faith, empty ourselves, and wrestle with God, ultimately finding ourselves changed and ready to embrace a new future. In Luke, Jesus' parables and healings remind us that even the smallest act of faith—like a mustard seed—can reveal God's grandeur. Join Hunter and Heather as they lead us in scripture, prayer, and reflection, reminding us that togetherness and God's love are at the heart of our walk of faith. Whether this is your first day or you've been with us from the beginning, you're invited to journey deeper into the story and discover that you are truly loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A walking stick and a mustard seed. Have you ever thought about what God can do with something small, something seemingly insignificant? In today's reading, Hunter points us to Jacob, a man who left home with nothing but a walking stick. Yet by God's faithfulness, he returned with more than he could have imagined. In the same breath, Jesus describes the kingdom of God as a mustard seed—so tiny at first that you can easily overlook it, but once planted, it grows into the largest of all the garden plants. A walking stick and a mustard seed—both are symbols of faith, reminders that God delights in showing his greatness through what is humble and small, revealing his strength through what is weak. The journey of faith is not always triumphant in the ways we expect. It can often feel more like a wrestling match than a victory march. You'll wrestle—with your flesh, with your past, with the uncertainty ahead. There are hidden idols, hidden fears, secret shames—things that our earthly fathers can't see but our heavenly Father does. In the end, we must let them go. This life with God is a wrestling match above all with God himself. When we truly wrestle with him, we are changed—marked by the encounter. There may be a limp, a hitch in our step, a reminder that walking with God is not about our own strength, but about being emptied—so that Christ may live within us. Just as Jacob emptied himself, sending everything he had across the river, facing the night all alone—so, too, are we called, at times, to empty ourselves, to surrender, to cling desperately to God's blessing. It's in that emptiness, in surrender, where we receive a new name. Jacob became Israel. We, too, are promised a new identity, a new future, a new hope. Let him lead you across that river into what he has promised. Don't despise small beginnings or fear your frailty. When we are weak, he is strong. When our hands are empty, he fills them. And in wrestling, surrender, and faith, he makes us new. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let us walk by faith, embracing the weakness and the smallness, knowing that God is in them and will show his strength through us. May we, too, be changed by meeting him face to face. 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

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, recorded on January 12th, 2026, Hunter invites us to spend time together in the scriptures, guiding us through Genesis chapters 29 and 30 as well as Luke chapter 12. Together, we witness the stories of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah—their longing, striving, and ultimately, the ways God's blessing breaks into their lives not through their own efforts, but by His grace. As we move into the teachings of Jesus, Hunter reflects on the power of a rich relationship with God, urging us to seek His blessing instead of relying on our own striving or the approval of others. Through prayer and thoughtful meditation, this episode reminds us that God cares deeply for each of us, just as He provides for sparrows and lilies. Join us for a time of reading, reflection, and prayer, and let the peace and joy of God's presence become your strength for today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Whose blessing will you see and receive? In today's readings, we're confronted with an important question: will you force things and be a fool, or will you trust, rest, receive, and believe? There's this invitation to examine whose blessing we're truly seeking. Is it our own, through striving and scheming like Jacob, Rachel, and Leah? Or is it, as Jesus tells us, the blessing that comes from God—a blessing that leads to a rich relationship with him? The rich fool in Jesus' parable thought that security and blessing came from his own plans, his bigger barns, from storing up for himself and relying on his own resources. But Jesus reminds us, as he does his disciples, that blessing doesn't come from our hands; it comes from God's. When we seek blessing elsewhere—whether in possessions, in the approval of others, or our own ability to manipulate circumstances—we end up empty, left wanting and still searching. In the end, it's only God who can give us the true inheritance, the true blessing our souls crave. Jesus invites us away from anxious striving and fear. He says, "Look at the ravens… look at the lilies." He points to the way God provides for what he has made, how much more for us. The real blessing is not in the abundance of things, but in a rich relationship with God—a life lived trusting his love, resting in his care, and seeking the kingdom above all else. And so the call for us today is simple, but profound: let us seek his blessing by faith. Let's rest in the deep, deep love of Jesus, believing the good news that, in him, we have been embraced, forgiven, and made God's own. When we live in this reality, that blessing begins to look like a life of peace, joy, and trust—a rich relationship with the Lord who loves us. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family—for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that'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.
