Jesus came to seek and save the lost! One of the biggest messages in Luke's gospel is found in that phrase. Seek the Lord, He is seeking you!

Blind Bartimaeus' story teaches lesson about how to approach Jesus. Seize your moment and let Jesus know what you need Him to do for you. Acknowledge who He is and follow Him!

The rich young ruler acknowledged Jesus as a teacher and as good, but could not give Him all. It doesn't matter what lists of rules we follow if we cannot truly accept Him as our Master, Savior, and Lord. Both salvation and faith are gifts that the Lord offers us.

When the Lord returns, will he find that you have faith? Will you be humbled or exalted? Are you receiving the kingdom like a child?

The dialogue in Luke 17 explains that our focus shouldn't be on the way we think things should be, but on what God has called us to. We must Be Ready, because the best is yet to come.

Before the parable of the 10 lepers, we're taught some principles from the "beginner's class": do not tempt others, confront sin in your brother, forgive others, and be obedient. The gratitude of the tenth leper teaches us that gratitude is key to the salvation experience.

Jesus teaches good stewardship of your money, and we can trust blessings to come from following Godly principles. But He also shows that your wealth has nothing to do with your standing with God.

After the parable of the prodigal son, Luke talks about money management and divorce. Are we good stewards with what God has given us?

In the story of the Prodigal Son, we find another character to aspire to: the Servant.

You must decide whether to just be a Believer or to truly be a Disciple. You should count the cost of becoming a disciple. Jesus counted the cost of dying for YOU and decided it was worth it.
