When It’s All Said and Done (Luke 16:19-31)

When it’s all said and done, all the riches of this world go back in the box, or in the garage, or in the dumpster, and they mean nothing as one stands before the Lord

Hearts Exposed (Luke 16:14-18)

The coming of the Kingdom exposes our loyalties and what we believe is ultimate.  God doesn’t judge on a curve - there are no curves, there is no inflation - but in the gospel, there is substitution, the Lord Jesus, His righteousness, for us.  

Wise as Serpents (Luke 16:1-13)

We take a look at the difficult parable that is often called, “The Parable of the Dishonest Manager.”  While the parable may be difficult, the application of it may even be more so - not in understanding it but in its conviction of our hearts. 

The Prodigal Love of the Father (Luke 15:11-32)

This familiar parable is not only about a son who squandered his father’s money.  Nor is it only about a son who was bitter at his brother’s return home.  It is about the deep, deep love of a father for his child.  

Seeking the Lost (Luke 15:1-10)

Three parables follow the Pharisees complaint against Jesus that He “eats with sinners and tax-collectors.”  We explore the first two with the Parable of the Lost Sheep and the Parable of the Lost Coin

Counting the Cost (Luke 14:25-35)

Jesus teaches his disciples and those who are considering following him to count the cost.  Jesus has paid it all, but if we decide to follow him, there may be a cost.  

RSVP (Luke 14:1-24)

Jesus uses the occasion of a sabbath dinner to expose the hard hearts, the pride, and the rejection of Israel.  However, there is an invitation, an invitation to believe in the Lord Jesus - an invitation to the kingdom table.  

The Kingdom Table (Luke 13:22-35)

Once again, Jesus responds to a question with a call to repent - to believe while the door is open.

A Miracle, A Mustard Seed, and Three Measures of Flour (Luke 13:10-21)

The kingdom of God has invaded the kingdom of the world.  With this miracle, and these two parables, Jesus teaches us of this reality and the nature of His kingdom.  

While There's Time (Luke 13:1-9)

Jesus once again issues a call for repentance because perishing is just a matter of time.  The greatest danger we face isn't a plane crash, a car accident, a virus, or a tyrannical governor; the greatest threat is not being prepared to meet the Lord.
