When Jesus is asked by the Pharisees about when the kingdom of God would come, His response is insightful and filled with admonition. The Lord exhorts His disciples concerning His Second Coming and the need to be ready for the final judgment of the world. Those who seek to save their lives, whose hearts turn from God and seek after the things of this world, are certain to lose everything when Jesus returns. On the flip side, Jesus highlights what will happen to those who choose to prioritize the kingdom of God.
Luke 17:11-19: After Jesus heals ten lepers, only one returns to give glory to God. This episode highlights who the unlikely worshiper was and why Jesus calls attention to the gratitude shown.
In this episode, we examine the Lord’s warning of sinning against another (offenders; verses 1-2), and also how we should respond when we have been sinned against (offended; verses 3-4). Jesus enlightens us on the full picture of reconciliation and the important role of both repentance and forgiveness.
In this episode, part 2 of 2, after a rich man dies, he is filled with regrets as he faces eternity suffering a fate that is worse than fire. When he prays for his family to witness a miracle lest they also end up in torment, the startling response he receive indicates the powerful testimony of scripture.
In this episode, part 1 of 2, Jesus gives us a glimpse into the afterlife. He reveals what happens when someone uses their wealth selfishly and fails to help others (echoing Jesus’ earlier teaching in Luke 16:9 to “make friends” with worldly wealth for an eternal reward). This teaching from Jesus contrasts the earthly lives and eternal destinies of two men. This episode highlights the great change that a righteous man experiences at death as he is “carried by the angels.”
This episode discusses one of the most challenging parables of Jesus, The Unjust Steward. Why did his master commend him? This parable is a shocking and memorable way to motivate us to use the resources God provides by prudently preparing for our future home in heaven.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son, which has been called the greatest short story ever written, is the third in a trilogy of illustrations concerning God’s love for the lost. Combined, these three parables emphasize the depth of God’s love, the desperation of God’s love, and the discipline of God’s love. This episode considers this parable’s deep relatability, highlighting human flaws and divine forgiveness, and ultimately heaven’s reaction when a lost sinner returns home to God.
When the skeptics criticize Jesus for His associating with those who are viewed as exceptionally sinful, Jesus responds by presenting three parables in Luke 15. This episode focuses on the first two parables in this trilogy of illustrations that are all connected by the same theme: God’s care and concern for the lost. God’s love for all sinners is powerfully portrayed as Jesus shows God’s willingness to seek, search, and sacrifice for those who have wandered away from Him, those who have been misplaced by carelessness of others, or those who have rebelled against Him.
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses! Material possessions, business professions, and domestic obligations fail to provide legitimate reasons to decline the honored invitation by the Messiah. This episode highlights the Lord’s willingness to extend His gracious offer to those who will accept it.
Will only a few be saved? This episode discusses the Lord’s answer to this difficult theological question.
Jesus calls upon all who would follow after Him to turn to God in repentance. Find out the immediate and broader application of Jesus’ words in Luke 13:1-5 that would spark His demand, “Unless YOU Repent…”
Jesus teaches His disciples to live in constant readiness for His sudden and unexpected return. This episode explores the difference between faithful and unfaithful servants.
In this episode we discuss Jesus’ cure for covetousness and His answer to anxiety. There is a special promise to those who seek the Kingdom of God first.
When Jesus is asked to resolve a financial dispute between brothers, the Lord offers a dire warning and a practical parable. This episode explores the dangers of a covetous heart.
In this episode, Jesus emphasizes the care and concern God has for His children. The One whose eye is on the sparrow, will most certainly remember you in your time of need.
In this episode, Jesus continues to denounce the hypocrisy of the religious leaders. In the last three of six warnings, the Lord admonishes the lawyers for repeating the same mistakes of the past.
In this episode, Jesus announces warnings upon the Pharisees that all most take to heart. He calls upon each of us to monitor our motives. While God is concerned that we honor Him with obedience in the details, those whose hearts are truly converted will reflect the heart of God and will not neglect any aspect of His will.
When the skeptics ask Jesus for a sign to prove His identity, the Lord pointed to the sign of Jonah. What is the sign of Jonah and what makes it different than any other miracle?
When Jesus delivers a man from demon possession, His opponents accuse Him of being in league with Satan. Jesus responds with several argument and highlights the implication of the miracle. To the sincere seeker, the miracle was not a cause for accusation but celebration—the Kingdom of God has come!
On one occasion after the Lord finishes praying, an unnamed disciple approaches with the request, “Lord, teach us to pray.” When Jesus teaches His disciples on how to prayer, in both Matthew 6 and Luke 11, there are 6 elements He emphasizes to make our prayers effective.
