This week, Jory, Kirsten, Vince, and Rex look further into Jesus' healings in Luke chapter 5. Topics include:

• Faith and healing
• Jesus' pursuit of the outcast
• Jesus' presence with us now
• Hazelnuts

Luke 5:12-26 describes the continuation of Jesus' ministry. Through the accounts of the leper and the paralyzed man, we see a Savior who offers both physical restoration and the ultimate healing of forgiveness.

Psalm 67 asks God to be gracious to us and bless us - not only for our own benefit,  but that ALL may know our good and gracious God who is worthy of praise.

In this episode, Vince, Kirsten, Ellie, and Rex talk through Luke 5:1-11. Topics include:

• What does it mean that Jesus invites his disciples into his mission? 
• What does that calling look like day to day?
• How does this play out in community?

In Luke 5, we see Jesus invite the first disciples into his mission.

This prayer helps us to plea for protection from those who would do us evil and also serves as a reminder of God’s unmerited favor upon us - even though there is no good innately in us.

In this (late) episode of the Afterword, Vince, Kirsten, Betty, and Rex talk through the authority of Jesus. Topics include:

• The interplay of our faith with God's authority
• How to think about God's authority to say "No" to our prayers
• The reality of spiritual evil
• Fish and Chips

Luke 4:31-44 is all about Jesus' authority: in teaching, over demons, over sickness and affliction, and over his mission.

This prayer is David’s well-known plea to God to cleanse him after his sin with Bathsheeba. 

This prayer may help to give you words as you seek the Father in your own sin. 

In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul gives believers what he says is of first importance: Christ died, Christ was buried, and Christ rose. What does that mean for us?
