Program for 09/01/25 SAS Chapel: Luke 8:1-15
In this episode we turn to Luke 8:16-25. In this passage, we read about the lesson of the lamp, Jesus' interaction with his mother and brothers, and Jesus' calming of the storm. Together we walk together through three key parts of the passage. First, we consider how Jesus, though speaking in parables, was still clearly revealing the Kingdom of Heaven—and how coming to Him in humility opens us to receive His wisdom and understanding. Second, we reflect on Jesus' ability to use every day moments, even interruptions, as opportunities to teach, expanding our view of who truly belongs to His family. Finally, we look at how Jesus calming the storm shows us, through creation itself, what it means to respond with humility and obedience to what Jesus says.

In Luke 8:40–56, we see two powerful healings woven together—Jesus restores a bleeding woman who had suffered for twelve years and raises Jairus's twelve-year-old daughter from death. Both were marginalized and overlooked, yet Jesus saw them, touched them, and made them whole. What's striking is that, unlike in Jewish law where uncleanness spreads, with Jesus it's the opposite—His holiness flows outward, stronger than sin, shame, or even death. This passage reminds us that no situation is too far gone and no person too unclean for His grace. Whatever feels impossible or broken in our lives, Jesus is greater—and when we place it in His hands, He brings restoration and life.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

"Calming the Storm" - Luke 8:22-25 According to Luke Preached by Taylor Whitson at CityChurch Bristol on August 24, 2025. Artwork Credit: Domenico Ghirlandaio, St Luke the Evangelist, 1486-1490, Santa Maria Novella.
In Luke 8:26–39, Jesus crosses into Gentile territory—unclean, scary, “off-limits” land for a good Jewish person—and meets a man possessed by demons, living among tombs and pigs, cut off from everything. To the disciples, it was like stepping straight into a nightmare—but Jesus went right to the heart of the fear and brought peace. Just like He calmed the storm, He calmed this man's chaos, showing that He is greater than anything that scares us. And while the man begged to follow Jesus, Jesus told him to stay and tell his story at home—a reminder that sometimes our calling is to be faithful right where we are. Whatever your “boogeyman” is today, remember: God is bigger.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 8:22–25, Jesus calms a storm while the disciples panic, leaving them in awe and asking, “Who is this, that even the winds and waves obey him?” That's the heart of the story—not just the calm after the chaos, but the question of who Jesus really is. Some of us grew up seeing God mainly as mighty and holy, while others saw him mostly as close and tender—but the truth is, he's both. He's the Lord of creation who commands the seas, and he's also the God who walks beside us in love. Our response, like Kierkegaard said, is “fear and trembling”—awe that such a powerful God would draw so near. Today, remember both sides: pray bold prayers because he's able, and rest in his calm because he's with you.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this episode we move on to look at Luke 8:1-15. In this passage, we read of the involvement of women in Jesus' ministry and also encounter Jesus' parable of the sower and its explanation. Together we discuss two main themes. First, we again address just how far Jesus' upside down kingdom reaches and how not only does the kingdom welcome everyone and anyone, but it invites all to play a part as well. Second, we talk about the open door of parables, and Jesus' invitation for us to ask the question, “what soil am I?”
In Luke 8:19–21, Jesus' mother and brothers show up while He's teaching, but instead of stopping, He says, “My family are those who hear God's word and do it.” He isn't rejecting His mom—He proved His love for her at the cross—but He's redefining family to include everyone who belongs to Him. Luke keeps showing us this theme: Jesus expanding the circle, pulling in women, outsiders, and those on the margins. That means in Christ, we're family—not because of DNA, race, denomination, or nationality, but because we share the same Savior. And like any family, we may fuss, but we're still kin in Christ. If you share my Jesus, then you're my family.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Nehemiah 10; Psalms 105; Luke 8
In Luke 8:16–18, Jesus says no one lights a lamp just to hide it, but to shine for everyone to see, and He warns us to pay attention to how we listen. In the context of the parable of the sower, this means when God's Word takes root in us, it grows and bears fruit—but if we ignore it or hide it, even what we think we have will slip away. The fruit Jesus promises isn't stuff or success, but the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and more—that shines out of us and points others to Him. God already knows everything about us, even our flaws, and still loves us as His children, so why would we hide His light? Today, let's not keep it to ourselves—let's shine, because His love never runs out and the more we share it, the more it grows.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Daily Dose of Hope August 18, 2025 Scripture – Luke 8:26-56 Prayer: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are finishing up Luke 8. Jesus has headed to the other side of lake. We've talked about this before. This means that Jesus intentionally leaves Jewish territory to head into pagan territory. And when he does, a tormented man immediately approaches him. He calls himself Legion because he is possessed by so many demons. He has been homeless for quite some time, living in the tombs, which I can only imagine are pretty dark and dank. He is naked, another source of shame in that society. We also know from other Gospel accounts that this man has been self-harming. He could break his chain restraints and was unable to live in normal society. His existence is absolutely miserable. When the man sees Jesus, he falls down before him, crying out. It's the demons within him who are crying out and they immediately recognize that Jesus is the Son of the Most High God. They know his power. In fact, they beg for Jesus' mercy. Keep in mind that spiritual powers submit to the higher and stronger power. They knew that Jesus' power was greater than theirs and that they were under his authority. The demons also know that they can only live if they possess something. They beg Jesus to allow them to enter a big herd of pigs that is nearby. Jesus heals the man and allows the spirits to enter the pigs, all of which promptly run off a cliff to their death. What's so interesting to me in this text is that Jesus totally and completely heals the man but the people seem to hardly notice. I mean, this man's total existence has been transformed. He has gone from demon-possessed, tormented naked guy, to a sane man who can sit and listen to Jesus' teaching. Instead of being amazed by this miracle, the townspeople are scared. They ask Jesus to leave. They have seen his power and they are scared out of their minds. The formerly demon-possessed man asks to go with Jesus, which makes sense. He wants to stay with the one who has given him life. But Jesus tells him to stay and share what has happened. We will soon see that the man does just that. But the miracles don't stop there. Jesus heads back to Jewish territory and people are waiting for him. A Jewish official is desperate for Jesus to heal his daughter and Jesus agrees. On the way to his house, he meets the woman who has been bleeding for twelve years. This is a story that we find in the other Gospels as well. This woman would have been incredibly desperate. Bleeding meant being unclean. She could not go to synagogue; she really wasn't even supposed to be among other people. Thus, she was separated from her community. She was an outcast. She was probably all alone by this point, poor, forced to beg to live. Kind of like the demon-possessed man from across the lake, this woman also lived a terrible existence. And Jesus noticed her. On his way to this high official's home, he noticed her touching the hem of his cloak. He stopped the whole crowd and looked for her. In doing so, he transformed her life. “Daughter, your faith has made you well.” With just a few words, she went from being desperate and alone to being part of a family. She is his daughter. She is called out for her faith. This means not just physical healing but also spiritual and emotional healing. Jesus could have stopped there and it would have been a pretty productive day. But he doesn't forget about the official's daughter. They keep heading to his house. The people say the daughter has died but that doesn't stop Jesus. Jesus heads into her room and raises her from the dead. A physically dead girl gains life again. Over and over again, we see how Jesus brings life to places where harm has been done, where tragedy has struck, where illness and death have created desperation and grief. The Kingdom of God is a place where the sick are made well, the hungry are fed, the outcasts are included, and the dead become alive. More tomorrow. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
The Gospel of LukeAdult Bible StudyLuke 8:40-56Billy PoeWestside Chapel | August 17, 2025
This morning in Luke 8:4–15, we looked at Jesus' parable of the sower and the four kinds of soil — hard path, rocky ground, thorny weeds, and good dirt. Each one represents a different way people receive God's word, and if we're honest, most of us have been in more than one category over the years. The goal is to be “good dirt” — to let God's word take root and grow by tending it daily through prayer, Scripture, worship, and service, just like you'd care for a garden. It takes work and persistence, but the harvest God can bring in our lives is worth it. So today, let's be good dirt and see what God grows.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

God Stories; Sunday, August 17, 2025
Daily Dose of Hope August 15, 2025 Scripture – Luke 8:1-25 Prayer: Abba Father, We come to you today with gratitude. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for wanting a relationship with us. Thank you for never leaving our side. Thank you for giving us glimpses of how this world is supposed to be. Help us to follow you more closely, Lord. We need your truth. We need your guidance and direction. With every fiber of our being, we need you. As we read your Word today and reflect on it, Lord, speak to us. Help us grow closer to you. Let us know where we are falling short so that we can be the people you have called us to be. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Bible reading plan. We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we dive into the first portion of Luke 8. Chapter 8 is a mix of parables and miracles, truly a beautiful picture of the Kingdom of God. We get glimpses of the Kingdom here, the way God always intended his world to be. Let's begin with the parable of the Sower. We read a version of this in Mark and Matthew as well. In this teaching, Jesus is talking about the Kingdom by telling a story about a farmer who goes out to sow seeds. The farmer doesn't worry so much about where he is throwing the seeds. In fact, he seems to be pretty indiscriminate with his seed-throwing; he is throwing seed everywhere. Some of the seed falls right on the path, where all the people walked and the soil was hard and had been packed down. So, the birds ate most of that seed. Some of the seed fell in rocky places (there are lots of rocky places in that part of the world) and while it would sprout, the soil was shallow, and there wasn't enough root for the plant to survive. Some fell among thorns, and the thorns were invasive and took over. The plants had no real chance of survival there. But then some seeds fell on good soil, which produced an amazing crop-30, 60, or even 100 times what was sown. What is Jesus teaching us about the Kingdom of God in this parable? The different soils are important but they aren't necessarily the main point. Who is the star of the story? Well, the farmer is or the one who is sowing the seed. He throws that seed everywhere–he is generous with the seed, throwing it everywhere there is any chance it might take root. Friends, we are the Sowers. We are the ones called to throw seed. What's the seed we are supposed to be throwing around? The Good News of Jesus. The Good News is for ALL. We aren't supposed to decide with whom to share our faith. No, we are truly to share our faith, in word and deed, with everyone. This is so important. We aren't just supposed to share Jesus with those in our congregation or with our friends who are “safe.” We are supposed to be kind of reckless, sharing the love of Jesus Christ, sharing our faith story, telling people the source of our hope, with all kinds of people: those who don't look like us, those we don't know, and those we do know. If God has brought us to a certain place, a certain store, a certain vacation spot, a certain meeting, trust that there is a greater purpose. We always should be on the lookout for ways to have spiritual conversations and share the Good News. I've had you do this exercise before but I want you to think about your past week. Think about the places you went, the people you spoke to, the things you did. I want you to think about each of those situations. What would it have looked like if you had sowed some seeds at each of those places? And yet, we aren't responsible for what happens to the seeds. We are just called to sow. Sow with joy wherever we go. Sow with love. Sow obediently and abundantly. Then, we trust that God will do the rest. Trust God with the harvest. For me, this takes the pressure off...we are not responsible for the harvest. Then, there is the lamp on the stand. It is meant to be out in the open where it can give light not hidden under a bowl or bed. What is hidden is meant to be disclosed and brought out in the open. Truth is not meant to be hidden. The Gospel is meant to be brought out in the open and shared. Another glimpse of the Kingdom. Then, there is the interaction with Jesus' mother and brothers. Someone comes to get Jesus to tell him his mother and brothers were wanting to see him. And then he says, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice.” As a mom, this stings a bit. But even here, we are getting another glimpse of the Kingdom. In God's Kingdom, the bonds that connect us go far beyond bloodlines. We are brothers and sisters in Christ with other believers. We are one family. The bonds between us are strong, possibly stronger than those between biological family members. How have you experienced this in the family of God? Our final part of the reading today was Jesus calming of the storm. This is another one we have read about in other Gospels. Luke's version is pretty similar. The storm is really, really bad and the disciples think they are all going to die. And where is Jesus? He is sound asleep. The storm doesn't bother him at all. One of the disciples wakes up Jesus, telling Jesus that they were all going to drown. Really, his question was more like, “don't you care that we are going to die?” How often have you asked this question–Jesus, don't you care? This is our ultimate cry to God, isn't it? It's a cry of fear, doubt, abandonment, rejection. As a pastor, I hear it repeated in this community, in this church, in your own lives. Where is God? Where is Jesus as I deal with illness and pain? Where is God as I deal with grief or depression or loneliness? Where is God as our world seems to be imploding? Jesus, don't you care? Where are you as I struggle? Jesus calms the whole storm with just a few words and then asks the disciples, “Where is your faith?” Basically, why are you such cowards? You have seen my power and authority. You have seen what I can do. And yet, you are still afraid! I can't help but think he asks that of us as well. You have seen what I can do. I've shown up over and over again. And yet, you still have no faith? I mean, I'm right here in the boat with you. I'm not somewhere far off. I'm here, in the boat. The disciples were amazed and marveled at his power, saying “Who is this?” Without realizing it, the disciples ask the most important question there is - who is Jesus? Who is this man??? Who is this man to you? Who is Jesus to YOU? To me, Jesus is God. He has been given authority over all things because he is God. He is also my Lord and my Savior. But we each have to settle that in our own hearts. Who is Jesus to you? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
When the situation isn't what we expected, Christ encourages is to believe and fear not.
In Luke 8:1–3, Luke alone records how women like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna traveled with Jesus and the twelve, supporting the ministry from their own resources. These women weren't just passive followers; they were essential leaders and the backbone of the mission, remembered by name for generations. Luke's Gospel consistently shows Jesus valuing those on the margins and recognizing the quiet, faithful servants who often go unnoticed. This passage challenges us to see and honor those working behind the scenes and to remember that in God's Kingdom, no act of service is too small.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

This man has come to a land and a people over run and fractured - His very presence proclaiming ‘you are not invisible or forgotten' and now to the ‘man of the tombs' identified by his oppression Jesus presence unmistakably proclaims you sir may have forgotten who you are but I have not. Who is this Man? His name is Jesus, He who has come to the most disintegrated proclaiming by His very presence you are loved, you belong and you still have a story to tell and that is good news.
We will journey through some of the most powerful short stories ever told–stories that have shaped Christian faith for centuries. These are not just simple moral lessons. These are Kingdom revelations. With simple images– a tree, a lost coin, a house being built– Jesus opens our eyes to the beauty of God's heart, our need for salvation, and what it means to live in His Kingdom under His reign.The parables are how Jesus invites us in. They are windows into the heart of God and mirrors revealing our own. They confront us, comfort us, and ultimately call us to respond to the good news that God's Kingdom has drawn near in Jesus.This week, Pastor Warren Williams teaches out of Luke 8:9-10WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved, or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app redtem.in/tempeappOR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook: / redemptiontempe. .Twitter: / redemptiontem Instagram: / redemptiontempe.. .GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.

In the increasing crowds that begin to surround Jesus, he encounters two people from very different walks of life - a distinguished, well-to-do man, and an unnamed woman - who are united through their commonality of suffering. Each comes to Jesus in their own way desperate for his intervention. Will they find what they seek? Tune in as Luke's Gospel continues to roar along with tale after tale of the remarkable Jesus.
Let Nothing Get In The Way Of Your Grip Of Jesus' Robe Luke 8:45-46 45“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” 46But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
Send me a Text Message!In Luke 8, Jesus tells a story that in many ways sums up James 3. He shares a parable about seeds and soils and a 100 fold return in the harvest. But really it's all about words, and hearts, and a great return on investment in the lives of peole. It's about having the kind of heart that overflows with life on the people around us. So I can't help but ask the question, what is the texture of a good heart? That's wht this episode is all about.
Ever been to a funeral? Ever touch the hand of the deceased, or kissed his/her forehead? Funerals aren't as common as they once were, as cremation has taken the place of burial. Old practices of honoring the dead have given way to new customs. Ever wonder why? Might it be because we fear death?In today's passage, we hear of Jesus' power to “heal” death. To overturn all the ugliness of death in the world, in us, in you, in me. And to replace it all with LIFE. We will hear him say in the face of death: “Do not fear; only believe.” He's not just talking about funerals. But I wonder what he does mean. Let's find out together!
Send me a Text Message!What if I told you, that I am a stock guru? And if you will invest $100 using my method you will gain $10,000 by year end, a 100 fold increase. What would you say? The promise of a 100 fold return on investment seems almost too good to be true. But if it's true -- it's good. Isn't it? Apply that to any area of your life, education, exercise, a 100x return on investment sounds too good to be true. But if's true, it would be good, right?In this episode we are looking at a story that Jesus told about 100x gains on investment. An investment of His Word into your heart; are you looking for a 100x return?

Chaos. It's a word that's hard to define but easy to relate to. It can be very personal, but it can also be communal, national, or even global. It can be an event, a season, a person, an inward feeling, and so on. It's the idea that things are unordered and out of place, not the way they're supposed to be. In Luke 8:22-39, we find one continuous story where chaos has been reigning. But the King has come and is making claims across land and sea. Evil is restrained, light invades the darkness, and chaos is turned into order. Join us this Sunday as we follow Jesus on His journey across the water and look at what happens when the King claims new lands for His Kingdom.
This episode is part 18 in a study of the gospel of Luke. We have 3 stories in this week's episode. Jesus talks about lamps, calms a storm, and casts out a legion of demons. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
