Description

Today, Rohan and Jeanie delve into Luke Chapter 7 with powerful insights into Jesus’ interactions that reveal His compassionate heart and divine authority. We cover how Luke showcases the upside-down kingdom of God and how faith, forgiveness, and the care for society’s outcasts are central to Jesus’ mission. Here’s what we’re discussing:



  • The Centurion’s Faith—Why does Jesus marvel at this Roman officer’s faith, and what does it reveal about faith that reaches beyond cultural boundaries? 🌍

  • A Procession of Life Meets a Procession of Death—Jesus interrupts a funeral to raise a widow’s son, offering a profound moment of restoration. How does this miracle echo God’s heart for the vulnerable? 🕊️

  • John the Baptist’s Doubts—Even John questions Jesus’ identity. How does Jesus respond, not with words but through actions, that affirm He is the awaited Messiah? ✨

  • Forgiveness and Gratitude—A “sinful” woman approaches Jesus at a Pharisee’s dinner, pouring out her love and repentance. Jesus’ response shows a profound acceptance, contrasting the judgmental attitudes around Him. What does her story tell us about love and forgiveness? 💧

  • The New Kingdom Reality—Through these encounters, Jesus embodies the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy, revealing a kingdom that cares for the oppressed, heals the broken, and welcomes all who believe. 🌱


Luke 7 calls us to see Jesus’ kingdom through new eyes and challenges us to embrace faith that believes the impossible, showing how love transforms us. Dive in as we discuss how these ancient truths resonate for us today.
