John 1:1-5 Light is something that most of us probably associate with Christmas. Whether it's Christmas lights, candles, or star decorations we really see symbols of light all around us this time of year. Of course we know that light is not appreciated without darkness. So, what did it mean for Jesus to be given the title, "Light of the World?" What darkness did He bring light to? Listen this week as we seek to answer that question in our new Christmas series.

Luke 18:35-43 Have you ever been without your sight, or had it altered in some way? It can be a disconcerting feeling. In our passage today we see a man that has no physical sight, but he sees something in the Lord Jesus and has a faith that pleases God. Do you have that kind of faith? Listen this week as we look at how Jesus deals with those who may lack physical vision, but have spiritual vision.

Luke 18:31-34 When we know something bad is going to happen, it changes the way we feel and act. We might even try to avoid it if possible. When we look at the Lord Jesus anticipating His death we don't see Him filled with fear. He certainly wanted the cup of God's wrath to pass from Him, but He was willing to obey God above all else. So, what did it mean for Jesus to know he was going to die and how did he prepare for it? Listen as we consider those questions for our special communion service.

Luke 18:9-30 When we think of those who will be in Heaven perhaps we would all have different opinions. We tend to grade evil on a scale that is somewhat inconsistent and varies by circumstance. So, who will be in heaven? And perhaps more importantly, who won't be in heaven? Listen this week as Jesus warns about the kind of person that will not be in heaven.

Luke 18:1-8 Sometimes when we pray we may feel like we are in the darkness. Perhaps there is a circumstance when there is no hope or we feel like God is silent. How do we think about our circumstances? And more importantly, how do we think about prayer during these trials? Jesus helps us to understand these difficult questions in our passage today. Listen as we take a look at the parable of the persistent widow as we continue our study in the gospel of Luke.

Luke 17:20-37 In Luke chapter 17 we see Jesus describe a kingdom, and its a kingdom that is in heaven but also comes down to earth. Most of us are pretty unfamiliar with kings, let alone kingdoms. So, what did Jesus mean when He said, "the kingdom of God is within you?" And when is this King coming?

Luke 17:11-19 Sickness and death are undoubtedly horrible things. Even in light of medical advancements there are still diseases today that are very serious. Leprosy was one such illness in the time of Jesus. In our passage today we see Jesus perform two healings on the same person. Why did He do this? And what does it mean for your life? Listen as we seek to answer those questions this week.

Luke 17:1-10 Humility is not a very popular word. We may like the concept of it but we rarely see it in the world around us. We are a proud people. But did you know that a proud heart will keep you from forgiving? So, how do we live in a proud world and maintain the humility needed to forgive in our relationships? Listen to the words of Jesus as we continue our study in the gospel of Luke.

Luke 16:19-31 Is it not a common mindset to think that God is so loving that He will let basically everyone into heaven? We like to think of God as the jolly old grandfather that just brushes everything under the rug. However, that's not the God of the Bible, and it is certainly not what Jesus taught about God and the afterlife. So, what did Jesus teach about heaven and hell? And do you know which place you'll go when you die? Listen this week as we consider those questions in the gospel of Luke.
