Commission, Confusion, and Provision

In today's passage, the concept of depending on Jesus and His power is central. We see it when Jesus commissions His disciples and when He miraculously feeds the 5,000. The passage also reveals that Jesus not only supplies our needs, but also satisfies us like nothing else can. We must depend on Jesus who is the Savior who supplies and satisfies.

Two Daughters Delivered from Disease and Death

In today's passage, we see another miraculous demonstration of Jesus's power and authority. This time, it is over disease and death itself. In today's message, we will look at the two pressing needs, the two daughters healed, and the two attributes of Jesus to behold. In the end, how will you respond to Jesus and who He is?

Jesus Versus a Legion

In today's message, we see another miraculous demonstration of Jesus's power and authority. This time, He shows His power over demons and spiritual forces. In this passage, we will look at Jesus's interaction with the demons, with the townspeople, and with the restored man. And from each of these interactions, there is valuable application and exhortation for us today.

Jesus Calms the Storm

In today's message, we look at how Jesus miraculously stilled the raging storm with just His command. Through this true account, we see Jesus's power and authority over creation. And we also see His call to persistently persevere in trusting in Christ, even when the storms of life rage on.

When Water is Thicker than Blood

In today's passage, Luke 8:19-21, Jesus takes the opportunity to describe to His followers who is part of His true family. We will answer the following questions in the message this morning: (1) Who is part of Jesus's new community? (2) What characterizes those who are part of His new community?

Made to Shine

In today's passage, Jesus likens us to lamps. And lamps are made to shine. We discuss what this means for those who are followers of Christ. We will also look into how the light both illuminates and exposes and the implications of those who receive and reject the light.

The Parable of the Sower Part IV

In today's message, we finish our study on the Parable of the Sower. We specifically look at a few questions that come up as a result of reading the parable including: (1) Can a genuine believer lose their salvation? (2) What is evidence that someone is a genuine believer? (3) What ongoing characteristic is present in the life of a genuine believer?

The Parable of the Sower Part III

In today's message, we continue to look into the Parable of the Sower. This week, we will examine the four different types of soil more closely, and draw out four applications for us today.

The Parable of the Sower Part II

In today's message, we continue to unpack the meaning of the Parable of the Sower. Specifically, we look at what the seed is, who the sower is, and the cause of the fruitfulness of each of the soils.

The Parable of the Sower Part I

In today's message, we begin to look at one of Jesus's well-known parables: the Parable of the Sower. But before we dive deeply into its meaning and implications, we will first understand what a parable is and the ultimate purpose of all of Jesus's parables. We will see that, though most people think the parables were told in order to help people understand, Jesus reveals that in fact the opposite is true. Namely, He spoke in parables with the purpose that people would not understand.
