A Heart after God Bible Teaching Ministry with Pastor Brad Abley

Fully 1/3 of all of Jesus' teaching was in parables, and the Parable of the Sower is the most important of all His parables. Take a careful listen, and allow the Holy Spirit to transform you through Luke's gospel!

This series really is well and appropriately titled: The Know Your Faith Series. What could be more important than for a believer to know his or her faith -- and to live it out before others, communicate it rightly and carefully -- and bear fruit for Jesus? The gospel of Luke is such a key to this. Join us as we move through Luke carefully, patiently, and verse-by-verse!

The unnamed woman in this passage offers extravagant worship to Jesus, coming from the depths of her soul. She is one who was forgiven much, and thus she loved much. Conversely, the Pharisee who disdained her saw no need for his own forgiveness -- even while displaying a stunning depth of self-righteousness!

An in-depth study of the life and teachings of Jesus through the gospel of Luke.

An in-depth study of Jesus' life and teachings from Luke's gospel.

This passage focuses on the incredible story of John the Baptist having doubts about whether Jesus was indeed the Messiah. Jesus offers evidence from His miraculous ministry as well as His teaching ministry. And He adds one important point -- a "double-edged sword.": Trusting Him results in blessing, but allowing one's self to be offended by wrong expectations is disastrous. 

This message focuses on the importance of Jesus raising the dead as one of the many expected signs from the Old Testament of the Messiah (cf. Isaiah 35; 42:6-7; 49:6). It also demonstrates why what Jesus did is relevant to us today.

Luke gives us such vital insight into how Jesus relates to people, and also teaches us about the importance of faith in God.

This message is an extension of Part 41, which covered the same verses. However, this message develops those verses further.

This is a careful, verse-by-verse study of Luke's account of the Beatitudes -- the qualities and characteristics every follower of Jesus must grow in. Intense teaching from Jesus, but worth a careful study and application!
