Today’s scripture reference: Luke ch10 v25-37 - "Who Is My Neighbor?” 

Pull up a chair and join David Holcomb, David Beaty, & this week's special guest, Dan Fritz, as they discuss one of the more well-known parables in Scripture, the Good Samaritan.  Reflect on questions submitted by our viewers ... Is showing mercy really the only thing necessary for eternal life? Why did Jesus "ignore" the Samaritans in Mathew's Gospel, but teach a lesson for which he is the hero in Luke's? And am I (you) really your brother's keeper? 

It's the final episode of the "Part Two" of Luke's Gospel before River Oaks takes a summer intermission. We will be back around the table to pick up Luke 11 in the fall.

Pull up a chair and join David Holcomb, David Beaty, & this week's special guest, Jennifer Schurman, as they discuss one of the more well-known passages for how to "go with a mission."  Of interest this week is the general instruction from Jesus to the disciples, whether it was 70 or 72 of them. But also the teaching for handling both rejection and success. All of this and more on this week's Table Talk. 

Pull up a chair and join David Holcomb, David Beaty, & this week's special guest, Jon Schurman, as they discuss one of the more perplexing passages of Luke's Gospel record, the transfiguration of Jesus. Why were Moses and Elijah present?  Was it really Moses and Elijah? And while Peter seems to make an honorable, worshipful, well-intentioned suggestion, God interrupts him with an extremely important correction. All of this and more on this week's Table Talk. 

Pull up a chair and join David Holcomb, Andrew Wild, & this week's special guest, Elizabeth Carlson, as they discuss one of the more intriguing passages within Luke's record of the life and ministry of Jesus. The disciples join Jesus on a boat ride (a turbulent one at that), which docks near the village tombs on the other side of the lake. Approached by a demon-possessed man for whom Jesus would deliver from his demons and send them, upon their own request, into a herd of pigs for a high dive into deep water. What possibly could we have to talk about this week?   

Pull up a chair and join David Holcomb, Andrew Wild, & this week's special guest, Wil Warren, as they discuss one of the more beautiful (and bizarre) episodes within Luke's record of the life and ministry of Jesus. A dinner party hosted at a Pharisee's home. Invited guest at table, observers along the walls. When out of nowhere a woman of ill repute approaches Jesus. Can you imagine what everyone is thinking? What is she going to do? What will Jesus say? What is so incredibly convicting and encouraging to what we discover? Take a seat at the table and reflect with us as together we pursue a deeper learning, loving, and living out of God's Word.  

Pull up a chair and join David Holcomb, Andrew Wild, & this week's special guest, Pebbles Forbus, as they discuss two specific episodes of healing in the life and ministry of Jesus; a centurion's servant and a widow's son. Consider with our table panel the significance of these healings, not simply the physical miracles, but the message, or sign, for which Jesus was teaching in the moment. What is it about the authority and power of the words of Jesus? What was it about the centurion that made Jesus "marvel" at him? How could Jesus touch the "bier" and not become defiled? Let's talk about these and more! 

Pull up a chair to join David Holcomb, Andrew Wild, & this week's special guest, John Attinello, as they reflect on the second half of Jesus' great teaching, as recorded by Luke and sometimes referred to as the Sermon on the Plain. In part one, Jesus had laid out some challenging warnings and instructions relative to love as a Kingdom ethic and what constitutes blessed or woeful life. Now, by way of parables and further instruction on judgment, Jesus concludes the message and the people return home. Were they changed? Were they committed to following him as disciples? What would they tell their friends? This and more on this week's Table Talk. 

Join David Holcomb, David Beaty, & Fran Crew in this week’s Look @ Luke, as they discuss Jesus' "Great Sermon", sometimes referred to as the "Sermo on the Plain". They answer a viewer's question about the difference between the "Kingdom of God" and the "Kingdom of Heaven" and also dive deeper into the geographical location of where this great sermon of Jesus may have taken place.

Join David Holcomb, Andrew Wild, & Mike Gowen in this week’s Look at Luke, as they reflect on the responses Jesus provides religious leaders who question his actions on the Sabbath and consider the implications for how followers of Jesus might approach Sabbath today. The conversation is intended to encourage everyone to think about their posture toward God’s gift of rest and commandment of faith. And besides, you never know when you might be passing through a field of wheat (grain, corn) on an empty stomach …  

Join David Holcomb, David Beaty, & Allison Reid, in this week’s Look @ Luke, as they reflect on Jesus’ ministry of healing. They address a viewer question regarding the trustworthiness of preachers who promise healings to large groups of people including those that are often televised. They also discuss the Pharisees and how even though they are often depicted in an unfavorable way in Scripture, maybe they don’t deserve such a bad reputation.  Pull up a chair and listen in as we grow together in the loving, learning, and living out of God’s Word.
