“Mother’s Day Pain” – Luke 1:46-55

Mother’s Day is a day of mixed emotions for many. For many it is a day of joy, the joy of being a mother, the joy of celebrating your mother, and the joy of celebrating the mother of your children. For many though it is a day of pain, pain in singleness, pain in infertility, pain in wayward children, pain in miscarriages, pain in loss of children, pain in abandonment by mothers, pain in abuse from mothers, pain in broken…

“Glorifying God by Giving Thanks” – Luke 17:11-19

As we approach Thanksgiving this week, it is fitting that we take some time to look at being thankful for God’s mercies in our life. This passage in Luke is very fitting for where we find ourselves today. The Horror of Leprosy Leprosy was not the most horrific of diseases. It was a disease where you slowly wasted away, but life expectancy could be several decades. The true horror of leprosy was that you would be a societal outcast. You…

Watching Over Your Own Soul – Peter (Part 3)

We pick up where we left off last week: And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there…

Watching Over Your Own Soul – Peter (Part 2)

We continue looking at Peter’s life so that we might better understand our own sin. Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be…

Family Worship – Where to Begin (Part 3)

Last week we looked at what not to do; this week we look at two very positive examples of discipling adult children. And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance…

The Offer of Peace (Luke 2:1-16)

In Luke we read of the angels announcing Christ’s birth. In verse 14 we find their exaltation of God for His wondrous work. This verse is translated many different ways, so we will be looking at the original Greek to understand fully their message. In heaven, glory to God The first and main part of the angels’ message is that God should be glorified. They add the phrase “in the highest place” or “in heaven” meaning that what God has…

Evangelism Training (Part 10)

How do you turn the conversation to spiritual things? And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book…

Evangelism Training (Part 3)

How did Jesus approach lost people? And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at…

Evangelism – Where do we begin? (Part 2)

After our family, who should we seek to share the Gospel with next? And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they held their peace. And he took him, and…
