A Journey Through Luke

Years after Jesus’s ministry on the earth, there were lots of stories circulating about him. Luke organized those stories in a way to help people understand who Jesus was and what he came for.

In the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel, we get to eavesdrop on the angel Gabriel, who gives two birth announcements to two different sets of parents.

After centuries of hearing nothing from God’s prophets, that silence was broken by John the Baptist.

Right before Jesus started his public ministry, he was faced with a few very strong temptations to doubt God.

A mark of Jesus followers is how we think about and treat the people who are not our people.

When Jesus told a parable, he usually didn’t explicitly tell the meaning of the parable. But in one parable about seeds, he did just that.

On one occasion, three friends of Jesus got to see him in a way that no one else ever had.

Prayer is simply an opportunity to connect with your heavenly Father on a personal level. Jesus taught his disciples how to do it.

Jesus regularly talked to his followers about worldly possessions. He specifically talked about what to do when those possessions are becoming too important.

Following Jesus can be hard and it comes at a cost, but we become better at life and those around us benefit when we do.

Sometimes you want someone to understand something so badly that you think of several different ways to tell them.

When we think too highly of ourselves, most of the time it’s only temporary. It won’t be long before we’re humbled.
