In todays episode we see another standoff between Jesus and the religious authorities as they continue their quest to catch Him in something worthy of punishment or death. Effortlessly Jesus evades even the hint of scandal by refusing to play into their tricks and always being….well, smarter (and wiser) than them. May we learn from their continuously prideful, ignorant and destructive ways.

In todays episode we see Jesus finally enter Jerusalem for His final time. It is the moment His life has been building up to. It is the final week of His life. And, Jesus being Jesus, He is still teaching His disciples and the crowds around Him the ways of His Kingdom; trying with all His might to make clear His purpose and plan.

In todays episode we study Luke Chapter 18 and see Jesus call us to persistent prayer, warn us against pride, teach us the obstacles wealth creates to Kingdom entrance, and how ungovernable desperation can make Jesus stand still. It is truly a remarkable chapter.

In todays episode we prepare our hearts for the continued journey of Jesus’ life by taking a quick pit stop into the reflections of Oswald Chambers on prayer. I hope it prepares us to sit with the depth of Jesus’ life and make space to truly revel in what He has done for us as we talk to Him in prayer.

In todays episode we attempt to interpret Jesus’s words in Luke 17 and fail somewhat miserably at discerning what He’s saying, but we give it a dang good go. We’ll put a pin in this passage for now and see if we can’t do more of a deep dive into verses 22-37, especially verse 37, to see what we can find with a little more time.

In todays episode we study Luke 16 and the two stories Jesus offers His disciples that go after what we put our trust in, specifically money. It offers firm warnings, but more than that it offers powerful insight into the mind of God and and the revelation of His ways / what He values. Don’t sleep on the truth of what is available to us when we use our resources shrewdly and live from a place of radical generosity!

In todays episode we study one of the most beloved chapters of the Bible: Luke 15. It’s got all that good stuff about the shepherd going after the lost sheep, the woman finding her lost coin, and the father celebrating his lost son. It’s the scandal of grace; the perfect gospel message; the unending mercy of God in parable. And it’s so, so good. Questions? Comments? Feedback? Episode ideas? Email me at [email protected] :)

In todays episode we study Luke 14 where we see Jesus display both His passion to bring all people into His Kingdom, but also His expression of the demands that the Kingdom will require of those who enter. We must all truly count the cost of Kingdom living and never fail to tell the full truth to all when we preach this gospel ourselves.

In todays episode we see Jesus sharing with us the patience of God to walk with us as we grow to bear fruit, His longing to protect us, His willingness to heal no matter the obstacles, and His warning of corruption that will enter the Kingdom of God in time. It is a wisdom packed chapter where we see the boldness of Jesus on full display.

In todays episode we look at Luke Chapter 13 and the powerful lessons Jesus gives us to live by. He confronts greed and covetousness, worry, fear, division, faithfulness and the willingness to remain steadfast in our readiness for His return.
