Lord of the Sabbath

Luke 6:1-11. The rules and regulations of the Pharisees for proper observance of the Sabbath were burdensome to Jews, and only a self-righteous man could not see the impossibility of actually keeping each detail. Jesus uses the Sabbath to teach that God is concerned with the heart, not the externals of a man.

Wine and Wine Skins

Luke 5:33-39. Jesus continues revealing the difference between the religion of the righteous, or at least those who think themselves righteous, and the religion of the man who knows he is a sinner in need of God’s mercy.

Calling Sinners

Luke 5:27-32. In this text we see the calling of Levi (Matthew) to follow Jesus. A call to a sinner to repentance. A call to faith in Christ. What hope is found in this passage, as we see a man most in the culture would have said was too much of a sinner to even be saved.

Catching Men

Luke 5:1-11. A miraculous catch of fish opens the eyes of Peter, James, and John to the reality of who Jesus is. The result, a glimpse at their own sinfulness, a cry for mercy, and a call to follow. Those men left everything to follow Jesus. Have we?

Baptism and the Believer

Baptism is a wonderful event in the life of a believer. Today we investigate what is baptism, what is baptism not, and why would a person be baptized.

The Authority of Jesus

Luke 4:31-37. What is your authority? Do you understand where Jesus fits in that question? Here in Luke 4, we see Jesus teaching and those who hear Him are amazed at His teaching, and further at His power behind that teaching.

Man’s hatred of a Sovereign God

Luke 4:22-30. Jesus teaching in the synagogue in Nazareth shows not only the nature of His ministry, but the sovereignty of the God of this ministry. Men will tolerate all the doctrines of God, with the exception of the presentation of a sovereign God who does all He pleases.

Striving Toward the Goal

Phil. 3:7-14 We all start out as legalists who see ourselves as earning God’s favor by who we are and how we live. Once saved, we see these as the really are. As believers, we need to guard against falling back into that thinking.

Christmas Eve

In Matthew 1:21 Jesus is said to come to save His people from their sins. Peace with God only comes through Jesus.
