“The Scripture stories do not, like Homer's, court our favor, they do not flatter us that they may please us and enchant us — they seek to subject us, and if we refuse to be subjected we are rebels.”— Erich Auerbach “In the self-assured world of modernity people seek to make sense of the Scriptures, instead of hoping, with the aid of the Scriptures, to make some sense of themselves.”— Nicholas Lash Luke 8:16-21
Preached on Sunday the 15th of February, 2026.Luke 8:26-39 “Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned. When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.”Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay
4 And when a very great multitude was gathered together, and hastened out of the cities unto him, he spoke by a similitude.Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem : 5 The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.Exiit qui seminat, seminare semen suum. Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres caeli comederunt illud. 6 And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.Et aliud cecidit supra petrum : et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem. 7 And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it.Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortae spinae suffocaverunt illud. 8 And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam : et ortum fecit fructum centuplum. Haec dicens clamabat : Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat. 9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.Interrogabant autem eum discipuli ejus, quae esset haec parabola. 10 To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.Quibus ipse dixit : Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis : ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant.[10] "Seeing they may not see": See the annotation, Mark 4. 12. 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.Est autem haec parabola : Semen est verbum Domini. 12 And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt : deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant. 13 Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.Nam qui supra petram, qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum : et hi radices non habent : qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt. 14 And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.Quod autem in spinas cecidit : hi sunt qui audierunt, et a sollicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitae euntes, suffocantur, et non referunt fructum. 15 But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.Quod autem in bonam terram : hi sunt qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia.Mark 4[12] "That seeing they may see": in punishment of their wilfully shutting their eyes, (St. Matt. 13. 15,) God justly withdrew those lights and graces, which otherwise he would have given them, for their effectual conversion.

Title: Jesus Delivers A Man From Demons Bible Focus - Luke 8:26-39 Preacher - Alan Foster Date - 09/02/2026
Can We Lose Our Salvation? | Christ For YouText: Luke 8:4–15 | The Parable of the Sower (Sexagesima & The Baptism of Gloria Kerstein) Can a baptized Christian fall away?If faith can be lost, how does it happen?If Christ saves by His Word, what keeps you from drifting?And when you feel yourself slipping, where do you go?Jesus answers with the Parable of the Sower. The seed is the Word of God, and the soils are hearers. Some lose the Word because the devil snatches it. Some believe for a while, then testing scorches what never sank deep. Some slowly suffocate as life, comfort, and a crowded calendar choke the Word out without a fight. The warning is real: salvation isn't something you keep in your pocket while you live as if Christ doesn't matter.But the comfort is stronger: the Sower does not stop sowing. Christ keeps His people by giving what He promises, again and again, through preaching, forgiveness, and His gifts. This sermon was preached at the Baptism of Gloria Eve Kerstein, where God put His Name on her and gave her salvation. And the Church's task is simple: keep bringing her, and you, back to the Word that saves and sustains.Subscribe & Share:Spotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgLooking for a Lutheran Church near you?

In this episode of the Virtue Podcast, Wendy MacGinnis takes us through Luke 8 and reveals the beautiful, countercultural way Jesus elevated and included women in His ministry. She reminds us that we are co-laborers in God’s Kingdom, called to prioritize Christ, live generously, and cultivate “good soil” in our own hearts. From the parable of the sower to the miracles that follow, we see a Savior who listens, pauses for the hurting, and models faith lived out in everyday moments. This episode is a powerful invitation to not just hear God’s Word, but to practice it.

The parable of the sower and four different kinds of soilsSexagesima Isaiah 55:10–13; 2 Corinthians 11:19—12:9; Luke 8:4–15

We all will face death one day. However, Jesus strengthens our faith so we can face death with a confident hope in who He is and what He has promised to do for us. / NOTE - Due to the severe storms that came through our area, we lost power before the sermon ended and finished the sermon, communion, and closing songs in the dark. As such, the recording cuts off abruptly before the service ended.

Jesus continues to exhibit signs and wonders, casting out demons, healing the sick, and raising the dead. In all of these things, Jesus clearly shows himself to be God in the flesh. In today's reading, a teacher from the synagogue named Jairus begs Jesus to come to his house and heal his 12 year old daughter. On the way there, a woman reaches out to touch the end of Christ's robe and is instantly healed. During that interaction, someone from Jairus's house arrives to announce that his daughter has died. In the midst of their grief and mourning, Jesus enters the house to perform a miracle that would have perplexed everyone who bore witness to it. ::: Christian Standard Bible translation.

While it’s not often part of mainstream conversation, have you given much thought to HOW the dark kingdom works in our world today and what some evidences are when people, even your friends or family, might be harassed or oppressed by dark kingdom forces? Why do I use the phrase “Dark Kingdom”? Because Colossians 1:13 describes genuine Christians as people God has rescued: “For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves.” (Click here to see full text, images and links) Pastor Doug Anderson “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today's chapter?

Today, Jesus tells the parable of the sower to a large crowd, but only reveals its meaning to his disciples. Take note that it isn't whether or not the seed grows, but whether that seed endures and produces fruit. Later, Jesus takes a nap during a storm, and only wakes up when the disciples panic and ask Him to do something about it. He gets up and stops the wind and the waves with a word. It brings to mind that Jesus is a better prophet than Jonah, who slept through the storm but could do nothing about the wind and the waves. But with with Jesus, a mere word will put it to an end. :::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

Verse By Verse - Pastor Mike - Mike Focht
In light of a series of miracles in our readings for today, Fr. Mike focuses on our Lord's compassion and our call to be merciful, as he is. He emphasizes the beauty of God's mercy and his offering of it despite our unworthiness. He also strikes a balance between the goodness of humanity as God's creation and our brokenness due to original sin. Today's readings are Luke 6-8 and Proverbs 26:1-3.
