The Interceding Savior
Luke 23:32-34. As our Lord is nailed to a Roman cross, we read the first of His seven sayings on the cross. From the moment the blood of our Savior’s cross began to flow, our Lord begins His work of intercession for His people.
The Kingdom: Part 1
Luke 17:20-37 The Kingdom of God is the central theme of all the New Testament. The Jews, from reading the Old Testament scriptures knew much about the kingdom, and they had certain expectations about the coming kingdom of God, but they missed the most important aspect. Entry is only by new birth!
Sin/Repentance/Forgiveness in the Believing Community
Luke 17:1-10 Sin happens. Its not ideal, and its not our aim, but even in the church, sin happens. So how do we respond when it does?
Parable of Two Sons
Luke 15:11-32 Jesus continues speaking to the Pharisees who grumble that He is welcoming sinners to Himself, with the third of three parables aimed at teaching the joy of heaven at sinners repenting.

Jesus answers not by telling the man he has no worries because God loves him, but rather by pointing the man to the Law of God. Fulfill the law and you will live!
