A number of years ago, we had the privilege of living and serving God in Jerusalem for a few months. What a faith-enriching experience it was to walk where Jesus walked and to see what we read in the Gospel accounts of Jesus come to life as we spent time in...

  “Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” – Luke 22:31–32   A few years ago, my daughter...

  “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” –Luke 19:38   Blessed is the God of all the earth, our Savior, King, and Redeemer. The One who is and is to come. The everlasting King of glory. The Lion and the...

  Are you bad at remembering names? My mom is. She totally blanks on people’s names. I do something much more embarrassing: I think I know people’s names, but instead I call them the wrong name.   Remembering a name means a great deal to someone. A name is...

  Imagine for a minute what it would have been like to have leprosy. You were an outcast of society. You had to live away from anyone who didn’t have the disease, so either alone or in a colony with others who had leprosy. You had to yell out “unclean” if people...

  “Whoever does not carry his own cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.” – Luke 14:27   I remember a time from my childhood when I really, really wanted a specific toy. I asked my mom for it and she told me I could get the toy if I used my own money. I...

  In Luke 12:29–32 Jesus told His disciples, “do not be overly concerned about what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not worry about such things. For all the nations of the world pursue these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead,...

  I recently began working for a non-profit, whose mission is to raise up the next generation of gospel patrons. I had no idea what a "gospel patron" was, and these past few months have been such a blessing as the Lord has connected me with a beautiful job...

  In the psychological world, I learned that one’s beliefs and cognitions influence behavior. I have found this theory and sentiment to be very true in my own life. For example, when I believe that I am a burden and that people do not care what I have to say, I...

  When was the last time you were surprised by Jesus?   This thought-provoking question came up recently in our home group Bible study and prompted us to consider that, perhaps, even subconsciously, we have limited God to what we think He can do, how He will...

  Have you ever had a close friend who has heard the gospel, many times over, and yet they still haven’t allowed it to soften their hearts and change their lives? Or what about you? Have you heard the Good News of Jesus but the Word of God feels like it’s falling...

  At the start of this new week in our study of the Gospel of Luke, we find Jesus near Capernaum, specifically nearing a town called Nain.    Jesus and his disciples, along with a great crowd following them, were walking to Nain when just outside it they saw a...

  “Now it was during this time that Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent all night in prayer to God.” – Luke 6:12   I love Jesus, and His humanity while on earth makes me love Him all the more. He was fully God and fully human. And these facts...

  My husband and I sat in the theater spellbound as we watched a beautiful movie that displayed the power of God. A young boy had almost drowned, and the doctor’s told his mama there was no hope for a recovery. That woman of faith stood in front of her lifeless...

  Why are you here? What has God called you to do?  Who has God called you to reach?  What is your mission statement?   For believers, it is imperative that we know we are thinking and acting according to God’s Word. God has called us to be His representatives....

Have you ever been given a nickname? Nicknames can be given due to something you have done, the way you look, your surname, or to distinguish you from others with the same name. John is often referred to as John the Baptist. This helps us to distinguish him from other...

  “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he has come to help and has redeemed his people. For he has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from long ago,that we should be...

God has a passionate heart for women. He loves women. He loves you. You are made perfectly. And you are more precious than you could ever imagine.    Unfortunately, women have been suppressed and oppressed for many centuries, and many women still are today. But...

Life can easily overwhelm us. Sometimes it seems like things are going just fine, and then we are hit with wave after wave of loss, disappointment, and pain. We’re constantly reminded that we live in a broken world and that we need a Savior.    But our God is...

The Gospel of Luke offers a unique perspective of the life of Christ. Luke did not meet Jesus in person, yet he followed Him. Luke was a physician, an intellectual who was passionate about sharing all he could about Jesus with his friend Theophilus. Luke teaches about...

Have you ever felt unseen? Have you ever felt like no one knows what you're going through, or even cares? We long to be seen, cared for, and known, but sometimes we don’t know where to turn. Life can feel overwhelming and, at times, we can feel lost and alone.   ...
