I love how honest and raw the Bible is. If it were mere legend, the main characters would not be so rough around the edges. But the Bible gives us real people who encountered a real God in real life. In our next series, “Grit & Grace: A Biblical Look at

Stephen Spielberg, the acclaimed film producer, said in a television interview years ago that nearly all of his films deal with the underlying theme of homesickness because people are disconnected and pining for a place where they will feel safe and loved

Easter Sunday is in the rearview mirror. But the POWER or resurrection lives on. What did the resurrection of Jesus mean for Jesus’ earliest followers? What does it mean for us? How do we live in light of the resurrection?

In Luke 24 we meet two people walking down the road leaving Jerusalem heading to a town called Emmaus. They face real obstacles to continued belief in Jesus. For them the reality of Roman crucifixion meant the end of the hope that Jesus brought. They have

On the night that Jesus is to be arrested He shares a Passover meal with the disciples. In Luke 22, Jesus says that He has “earnestly desired” to share this meal together. For Jesus, this wasn’t just another Passover meal, or just His final Passover

Calendars. Bank Balances. Daily commutes. Tick. Tick. Tick. The metronome of life ticks by steadily and repeatedly... it can lull us into a malaise, distract our hearts, and dull us to the greater reality of God’s plans and purposes in our lives. In Luk

What is God really like? This is a question that Jesus is constantly butting heads with the religious leaders about in first century Israel. One day the crowds gathered to hear Jesus and He tells one of the most beautiful stories that captures what the he

Does prayer ever feel like a combination lock? Does it feel like if you can just crack the code, then you can unlock greater things for your life and greater intimacy with God? You have probably been encouraged by others to pray. You have most likely hear

The first eight and a half chapters of Luke answer the really big question, “Who is Jesus?” by showing us over and over again that Jesus, full of love, beauty, and truth - is God’s promised rescuer. The next several chapters answer a second really b

Have you ever experienced “the thing underneath the thing?” Maybe your child had a hard day at school, and you are on the receiving end of it. Maybe your co-worker blew up at you, and it really doesn’t have anything to do with you at all. There are

Luke 9 is a training session for the disciples. One of the things that Jesus teaches them comes towards the end of the chapter after he had miraculously healed a tormented boy. Understandably, people were “amazed” and were “marveling at all that Jes

Interruptions are everywhere. Conversations are interrupted by others chiming in. Travel is interrupted by weather. Can you imagine the list of all the things in life that our phones interrupt with texts, notifications, etc. In the final scene of Luke 8 w

It was a SCANDAL! One of the cultural elites, Simon, had invited a young rabbi to dinner for a public roundtable discussion. The evening was going fine until an uninvited guest “crashed the stage” weeping at the feet of the Rabbi. Let’s just say thi

It is tempting to turn Jesus into a one-dimensional figure. If your emphasis is on morality and doing the right thing, then the power and holiness of Jesus is really appealing. If your focus is on compassion and mercy, then you are probably compelled by t

C.S. Lewis’ masterpiece, The Screwtape Letters opens by saying, “There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhe

For the next several weeks - from Christmas Day to Easter we are going to be going through the Gospel of Luke. Instead of this being a “cradle to grave” story, it is a “manger to empty tomb” story that carries us from the incarnation to the ascens
