Choosing the Twelve
Luke 6:12-16. After spending the night in prayer Jesus chooses the twelve from the larger group of disciples who followed Him. We see that the Lord does not call equipped men, rather He equips those who m He calls. He uses common men to accomplish extraordinary things. He uses the weak, simple, and low men who rest in Him that His name receive all glory in His workings.
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?
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.
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.
Merry Christmas
Isaiah 53:1-6, Colossians 1:19-22. Does it seem like the merry part of Christmas is missing sometimes? What reason do we have to be merry? Much reason indeed!
Defining The Mission
Luke 4:14-21. Luke begins his record of Jesus ministry to men with Jesus teaching in the synagogue in Nazareth as he reads from the book of Isaiah. Good news to the spiritually impoverished, release from blindness, and liberty for the captives.
Submission to the Spirit
Luke 4:1-13. Jesus led by the Spirit in the wilderness faces the temptations of Satan. Jesus reveals a great deal to us of the character of God. The more we know this God, the more we will trust and submit to Him.
Beginning Jesus Ministry
Luke 3:21-38. We see in today’s passage the beginning of Jesus earthly ministry as He presents Himself publically to be baptised by john the Baptist. Why? John’s baptism was that of repentance for the forgiveness of sin, but Jesus had no sin. So why would he submit to such a baptism? We also look at Luke’s genealogy of Jesus which differs from Matthew’s gospel. Why the difference?
Witnesses to Jesus identity
Luke 1:21-38. A less familiar portion of the birth story of our Lord, Mary and Joseph submit to the law of God in circumcising Jesus and offering the sacrifice prescribed. They encounter two witnesses in the Temple, Simeon, a righteous and devote man, and Anna, a prophetess who lives an exemplary life who give testimony, under the leading of the Holy Spirit to the identity of this child Jesus.
