“People, the LORD has shown you what is GOOD, and this is what He REQUIRES of you: To do what is JUST, to love MERCY and to walk HUMBLY with your God.” – Micah 6:8 NLT All of us have a RESPONSIBILITY in this world. But it’s so easy to just sit back and COMPLAIN […]

Often, we equate LIFE with GOD. God is Life. But life, is not GOD. Luke 23:32-39 (pg. 1,641) v.33: “When they came to the place called the Skull, they CRUCIFIED Him there, along with the criminals; one on His RIGHT the other on His LEFT.” v.34: “Jesus said, Father FORGIVE them, for they do not […]

The most important question you can ask if you’re considering or reconsidering faith in Jesus: Is Matthew, Mark, Luke OR John a RELIABLE account of ACTUAL events? Luke is documenting Jesus’ paradigm-shifting, culturally offensive, liberating, dignifying, hope-giving, TEACHING and MIRACLES. Luke 15:1-31 (pg. 1,623) v.1: “Now the TAX COLLECTORS and SINNERS were all GATHERING around […]

Jesus INVITES us to PARTICIPATE in His Kingdom Work. Jesus sends us to find PEOPLE OF PEACE. Jesus WARNS the people who should have KNOWN BETTER. God BLESSES us in our OBEDIENCE. God BLESSES us by His GRACE. God’s WORD is the way to LIFE. The lawyer wants to JUSTIFY himself. Our ENEMY is our […]

How HEALTHY is your IMAGINATION? IMAGINATION is a GIFT from God. Faith is often presented as the OPPOSED to reason, but that’s really not how Jesus operates. Before anyone leaves anything behind, Jesus IGNITES their imagination for what’s possible if God’s promises started being fulfilled in real time. What was in the report about Jesus? […]

Luke’s account was included in the Bible because: The DETAILS the document contains. The EVIDENCE of who wrote the document. WHEN the document was written. What is RECORDED about Jesus. Luke is documenting someone’s LIFE. Luke 3:1-20 (pg. 1,593) v.2: “…the word of God came to JOHN, son of ZECHARIAH in the wilderness.” John the […]

When it comes to KNOWING God, does it really just come down to: The BIBLE tells us so. Is Matthew, Mark Luke OR John a RELIABLE account of ACTUAL events? Event: RESURRECTION Movement: The WAY Documented: BEFORE 70 AD The Bible: ASSEMBLED Luke became a follower of Jesus by hearing about the TESTIMONY of Jesus […]

Have you ever WON an argument at home? What exactly did you WIN? What was the PRIZE? When it comes to relationships, the WIN is always the RELATIONSHIP. Romans 12:10 (pg. 1,764) v.10: “Be DEVOTED to one another in LOVE.” “Give HONOR to one another, by ESTEEMING more highly.” v.10: “Be devoted to one another […]

“In your RELATIONSHIPS with one another, have the same MINDSET as KING Jesus” – Philippians 2:5 All of us take our relationship cues from SOMEBODY. Often, we just realize WHO it is. MUTUAL Submission Ephesians 5:21 (pg. 1,823) v.21: “SUBMIT to ONE ANOTHER out of reverence for Christ.” The message of mutual submission is, ‘I’m […]

How does it feel to RECEIVE forgiveness? God doesn’t put REQUIREMENTS on our confession to RECEIVE His forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn’t mean we let people continue to hurt themselves or others. Forgiveness doesn’t mean everything is the same as it was before. How does it feel to OFFER forgiveness? If you want your relationships to be […]

You cannot FOLLOW Jesus by yourself. Because so much of what Jesus commanded REQUIRES somebody else. “In your RELATIONSHIPS with one another, have the same MINDSET as KING Jesus” – Philippians 2:5 Someone always has to GIVE life, in order for their to BE life in a relationship, right? What did Jesus do to give […]

Luke 15:11-32 He came to his SENSES. Four Patterns of False Identity: The PERFORMER The CHAMELEON BOXED-IN The ESCAPE artist Jesus listeners would have though of a KEZAZAH ceremony. “You are now CUT OFF from your people.” – alongside a smashed clay pot. Broken. Irredeemable. No longer useful. No longer one of us. OSTRACIZED The […]

The younger son: He came to HIMSELF. Sometimes being far from home is less OBVIOUS. Luke 15:25-32 “Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.” (v. 29) The younger son was no longer […]

“The great tragedy for many of us is that in growing up, we become self-made, independent successes who are weighed down with thoughts of the past and worries about the future. We lose touch with our true self, the person God created us to be. We live off-center and alienated from who we really are.” […]

What if simply BELIEVING was enough to make a difference in life? Doing is what makes all the DIFFERENCE in life. If we believe all the right things, but don’t do anything with what we believe, our FAITH becomes FEEBLE and FRAIL and FRAGILE. Jesus’ Invitation: FOLLOW Me, not BELIEVE Me. God is most HONORED […]
