Luke 17 begins with a lesson on accountability, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Jesus wants His followers to be aware of the traps sin cause in our lives, but He also wants us to be merciful and seek ways to restore broken relationships. This is true interpersonally, as well as in our relationship with God. Next, we…
John 12:46 I think that my favorite metaphor by which Jesus referred to Himself is, light. John 12:46 tells us that He came to be light so that anyone who places their faith in Him will no longer have to walk in darkness. This is a beautiful connection to an earlier prophecy in Isiah 9:2,…
Luke 16 begins with an unusual parable known as the Shrewd Manager. This is a pointed story because of how Jesus uses it to teach about faithfulness with finances. The key figure in the story is no hero, yet he receives praise from Jesus because of how he conducted himself. Jesus goes on to offer…
Luke 15 is composed of three stories that teach about finding what once was lost. These are some of Jesus’ most beloved stories that reveal the heart of God. These stories would be glorious for some to hear and cause grumbling for others. Take note of how chapter 15 begins, because the two distinct groups…
“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.” (Matthew 5:13, MSG) I got the coolest Salt Life hoodie from my in-laws…
A reflection on unconditional love and our excessively loving God Our Sophie crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon. Tiffany, Ethan, and I are very sad. She was sick for about the last six months, and it kept progressing until the weekend when it became obvious she would not get better. She was just shy of…
Luke 14 begins with Jesus entering the proverbial lion’s den by dining with a leader of the Pharisees. He broaches the subject of healing on the Sabbath again to reveal God’s desire for compassion over a strict adherence to rules. Jesus then gives a teaching on humility and offers a reality check on what it…
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 I took Yoshi dog out early this morning for a predawn walk. I was amazed at how beautifully the frost glittered on the dormant Bermuda grass as a local streetlight cast its glow. I spent a few minutes with the Lord going over a heaviness in my heart as it appears our…
Luke 13 continues to hone in on Jesus’ message about the presence of sin in our lives, God’s solution, and the responsibility for the believer as a result. Jesus also teaches about how faith works when we allow it to penetrate us and permeate our lives. A miracle shows someone able to stand tall because…
Luke 12:40 Today marks the third Sunday in the season of Advent. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that Advent means expectation since it is a time of preparation for Christmas. We remember the past as people expected the coming of the Messiah. Now we expectantly await the return of King Jesus to set everything…
