What's Your Name?

In his parable about Lazarus and the Rich Man Jesus teaches us about what matters for eternity in our lives on earth. As Martin Luther teaches us: "We are all beggars". When you know yourself as one who needs the Lord's saving help for eternity, and the same is true for your neighbor- how does that change how you see your neighbor?

The Prodigal

Family relationships can be difficult - especially relationships between parents and children. Jesus uses this universal experience to help us understand our Heavenly Father's perspective on each of us and his desire to welcome us home.

A Warning and an Extension

Jesus, Tech Me

The "Good Samaritan" parable is a response to a man testing Jesus. This parable is much more than a moral fable showing us to be good people. When we ask questions of Jesus, are we testing him? Or are we hoping to learn from him?

The transfiguration of Jesus is a turning point in his ministry. But in the miraculous presence of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus, his disciples prefer to create a settlement for them on the mountain rather than following Jesus to the cross.

When the Kingdom Breaks In

In Luke 7 Jesus’ kingdom breaks into the stories of this broken world- and redirects them in surprising ways. Jesus gives us a glimpse of the kingdom where one day death will become life, enemies will be made friends, and the Lord will wipe the tears from all faces. Because of Jesus, new life is our future. That is his heart. The chapter you’re walking through today may feel very dark or broken - but because Jesus comes for you- you can trust the joy of resurrection life is also being written into your story!

Rest and Re-Creation

Jesus' confrontation with the religious leaders about the meaning of the Sabbath has plenty to teach us about our own misunderstandings today.

Be the Bait

Being called to be fishers of men may mean getting "cast out" of the boat.

The Mission Hits Home

Jesus was welcomed in his hometown as he taught and read scripture in the synagogues. But all that changed when the locals realized that Jesus' mission included the Gentiles. How does the message and mission of Jesus draw us out of our comfort zones to serve the "least of these?"
