Luke

“So his master said, ‘Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full'” (Luke 14:23)

The Master wants a full house at the banquet. When every seat is taken the banquet will begin. Have you RSVP’d to reserve your seat?

“You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected” (Luke 12:40)

April 8, 2012

The first-century disciples watched for Christ’s 2nd coming with expectation because they had seen Him return from the tomb. On this Resurrection Sunday let us be reminded that He is risen and that He is coming again! Are you ready?

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need” (Luke 12:31)

April 7, 2012

On this 7th day of Passion Week, we remember that Christ rested in the tomb, His work on the cross finished. Tomorrow, we remember that He conquered death and the grave. Yet, we still worry about lunch. Stop worrying. Seek Him with first priority. Rest in Jesus.

“Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell” (Luke 12:4-5)

April 6, 2012

On this Good Friday we remember that Jesus did not fear man more than God. He was crucified by man, but resurrected by God. Whom do you fear?

“This evil generation keeps asking me to show them a miraculous sign. But the only sign I will give them is the sign of Jonah” (Luke 11:29)

April 5, 2012

As Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 3 days, so Jesus would be in the tomb before rising again. Jesus fulfilled every prophecy and prediction concerning His life, death and resurrection. In 3 days we will celebrate this historic truth!

“I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9)

April 4, 2012

The currency of the Kingdom is asking. You have not because you ask not. So hear the words of Jesus. Ask.

“At that same time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit” (Luke 10:21)

April 3, 2012

After the 72 returned rejoicing from their witnessing assignment, Jesus was filled with joy from the Spirit. Two thoughts: 1) You’ve never known true joy until you’ve felt this joy of the Holy Spirit. 2) If you want to share this joy with Jesus, answer the call to be a witness for Him.

“The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit” (Luke 10:1)

April 2, 2012

Jesus sent 36 teams of two out to prepare all the little towns in Israel for a visit from the Messiah. He told them what to take, where to stay, and what to say. Jesus is still sending out disciples. Have you heard your call yet?

“If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory” (Luke 9:26)

March 31, 2012

Are you ashamed to witness? It isn’t considered polite to talk about Jesus and the Gospel. In a day when “R” rated language is everywhere, saying “Jesus” is only acceptable as a curse word. It’s “intolerant” to speak of Him otherwise. I wonder, will Jesus be ashamed of you on that Day?

“‘Who touched me?’ Jesus asked” (Luke 8:45)

March 30, 2012

Many in the crowds pressed in to touch Jesus, but He noticed the woman who touched Him in faith. Jesus still takes notice of those who reach out to Him believing. Why not reach out to Him now?
