Hope Beyond the Grave – Luke 24 (24/24)
Death hangs over us all whether we like it or not: It’s the one thing we cannot escape or have any control over. Jesus death was hanging over the disciples as He lay in the tomb, all their illusions shattered at the Cross. But it’s not over yet. The Resurrection is the most important event… Continue reading

It’s Friday, But Sunday is Coming… – Luke 23
Finally, after all the plotting and scheming by the religious leaders they were getting their way and were openly calling for His demise. So that was that, Jesus would be crucified. His disciples and followers must have been confused and bewildered at this turn of events. Continue reading

Death Will Pass-Over Luke 22 (22/24)
The whole of Jerusalem is preparing for Passover. Jesus, the Son of God will soon become the Passover Lamb. His sacrifice and the subsequent application of His blood will cause death to pass-over those to whom it is applied, freeing them from their slavery to sin and death. Continue reading

Stay Calm, The End is Nigh – Luke 21 (21/24)
The account of the widows gift to the temple may seem out of place just prior to the discourse about end times, but talking of its future highlights the contrast between how devoted the people were to this institution which became redundant long ago and its imminent destruction (which happened only 40 years later in… Continue reading

Power and Authority – Luke 20 (20/24)
You can imagine the Pharisees wondering who this upstart was who turns up and acts like He owns the place. Here was Jesus throwing tables around, teaching about Scripture like He wrote it and constantly insulting them as though they didn’t know God at all. Continue reading

The True Wealth of the Coming King – Luke 19 (19/24)
We pick up the account here in Jericho, but Jesus has always been heading towards Jerusalem. There is still much to be said and done, still more to learn from Jesus, but the very purpose of His visitation (to earth) will soon come to a head. Meanwhile, the jealous leading religious Jews of the city… Continue reading

Eternal Perspective – Luke 18 (18/24)
Communicating with God is a fundamental aspect of our spiritual life. But God will not be mocked. God is spirit and He can see straight through to our hearts when we pray. If we think we can impress God with fancy prayers for all to see with an attitude of superiority because of our ‘self-righteousness’,… Continue reading
-
Kingdom of God – Luke 17 (17/24)
The Jews of that day were very alive to the coming Kingdom of God, but they completely misunderstood the nature of that Kingdom. They were imagining the restoration of the glory days under King David and Solomon and the overthrow of Roman rule. Perhaps Jesus is warning us what life in the Kingdom is really… Continue reading
-
Stewardship – Luke 16 (16/24)
Stewardship is an important issue for the people of God. Above all else that we should be good stewards of, the Gospel message is chief among them, because the Gospel message is the power of God. Continue reading
-
Lost and Found – Luke 15 (15/24)
This is what grace looks like: God giving us what we don’t deserve by seeking us and giving us a second chance. He is seeking the lost sheep and the things of value that were lost to Him. Those who are in-Christ, were lost but have now been found. What could be better than that? Continue reading
-
Pride and Priorities – Luke 14 (14/24)
Today, we might think we are getting on well if we are able to hobnob with the best society has to offer: look how excited we get at photo opportunities and selfies with celebrities. We must put following Jesus at the top of our agendas… Continue reading

Reject or Repent, How are you doing? – Luke 13 (13/24)
It is inherent within us to determine ‘how we are doing’ in relation to ‘making it’ to whatever one thinks heaven is; what happens when we die? will we make it? We instinctively know that we must give an account of ourselves… Continue reading
-
Valued and Provisioned – Luke 12 (12/24)
We are intrinsically valuable to God and He cares for all our needs. Since God cares so much for us we need not concern ourselves with how we might flourish. We may store up wealth, but in the end it cannot change the outcome of our lives. We must live as though Jesus could return… Continue reading
-
Inner Life – Luke 11 (11/24)
Luke turns his attention to internal matters as he records the things Jesus taught. We learn that God is a benevolent God who wants to hear from us and is delighted to answer our prayers. Our inner life is vital. Trying to make ourselves righteous by own efforts will achieve nothing. Continue reading
-
Go, But Stay Close – Luke 10 (10/24)
It is striking to me that Jesus sends out the 70 to go to places that He Himself would then go to Himself. It doesn’t seem that efficient, these guys could have been like ‘force multipliers’, reaching more than He Himself could have otherwise Continue reading

Who do you Say I Am? It’ll Cost You – Luke 9 (9/24)
Who do the people say that I am, who do you say I am? What is the cost and manner of service for the Lord Jesus? These questions are broached in this chapter… Continue reading
-
Complete Physical and Spiritual Authority – Luke 8 (8/24)
As if to demonstrate Jesus’ power and authority again, Luke highlights the calming of the sea and the deliverance of the Demoniac, absolute power over the physical elements and the spiritual entities. Continue reading
-
The Compassionate Master – Luke 7 (7/24)
We learn from Jesus meal with Simon the Pharisee, not unlike with His meal with the tax collectors and sinners, that Jesus came for those who were in great need… Continue reading
-
What is True Religion? To Live Differently – Luke 6 (6/24)
Jesus teaches that in order to have true religion we must live a different way. To the religious Jews nothing is more sacrosanct than the Sabbath. They think they are pleasing God by forcibly enforcing the Sabbath laws upon the people, hanging a weight on them that even they struggle to keep. Jesus hits right… Continue reading

Follow Me, I Came for You – Luke 5 (5/24)
Jesus is preaching to a dense crowd by the Sea of Galilee when He calls the fishermen Peter, James and John… Continue reading
