Luke 4:31-44

Different people exercise their authority in different ways. A general does it by barking out orders and enforcing strict military discipline. The traffic officer does it by blowing his whistle and by handing out citations. The tax collector does it by conducting an audit and assessing penalties. But how is it that the Lord Jesus Christ exercised his authority? Find out on Every Last Word with Dr. Philip Ryken.

Luke 3:23-28

We are passing away and shall soon be gone. This is what it means to be human. We are born, we live a short time during which we sin, and then we die.

Tune in to Dr. Philip Ryken on Every Last Word.

In the early 1970s, the good people at the TOPS chewing gum company produced a series of baseball cards that featured boyhood photos of the stars.

Dr. Philip Ryken teaches about the childhood of Jesus on Every Last Word.

Luke 2:21-38

There is no salvation without the cross and the empty tomb. And yet what Simeon said when he saw the baby was really true: “I have seen salvation.
