If we are to speak like Jesus we must also love like Him. Sometimes Jesus had stern words for the people he encountered. Why did He speak sternly with some and not others?

This week we see a lesson in “Human Nature 101” and uncover the tactics used against us by the enemy.

Chris Woodruff of Life Raft International shares how loving people doesn’t always solve their problems but it does give them hope and purpose.

In the parable about the good Samaritan, Jesus tells us that those in need are our neighbors and that we should help them when they’re in need. Who are you in the story?

Are you the traveler in need of help? Are you the innkeeper charged with taking care of the wounded? Are you the priest or Levite that just passed by thinking that someone else would take care of the problem? Are you the Samaritan who rescues the injured man or are you the thief that caused him harm?

It’s easy for Christians to rejoice when they see the power of God demonstrated in their lives and the lives of others. However, Jesus tells us not to rejoice in power but in the knowledge that our names are written in heaven.

Jesus sent out the seventy to share the good news of the Kingdom of God. Where has He sent you to share the good news of His Kingdom? This week’s teaching in Luke emphasizes the value of the people God puts in your path.

Being a disciple of Jesus is a great calling. But it does include making hard decisions. Hard decisions are made at hard times, but life gets better for it.

Waiting for an easy time to make a hard decision, well, it never works. See what Jesus told three people who wanted to be disciples in Luke 9.

After Jesus’ transfiguration, the disciples’ faith is challenged as they minister to various people. Jesus’ response is firm but loving and points out their misplaced belief.
