PJ Lewis - Luke 4:22-43 - We can learn a lot from the way that Jesus ministered to others. He, like other men, were not called to minister to everyone, everywhere, all the time, but was willing to be sent by the Father to minister to anyone, anywhere, at anytime. And Jesus remembered what ministry was really all about... an opportunity to share the message of the gospel.

Coleman Diffenderfer - Luke 4:14-21 - This week we see Jesus come back to his hometown to share what the purpose and mission of his growing ministry is. His purpose is to proclaim the gospel to the poor, to free the enslaved, to give new sight the bling, and to bring relief to the oppressed. As we follow Jesus our job is to share with others how he has done this in our life.

PJ Lewis - Luke 4:1-13 - How can we have victory and not sin when facing temptation? Jesus, who was tempted just like we are, shows us how.

Eli Macha - Luke 3:23-28 - While Matthew's genealogy shows the royal heritage of Jesus, Luke's genealogy goes all the way back to Adam emphasizing His humanity. Jesus was fully God, fully man, but chose not to operate as God. Not only is Jesus a man, but He's more human than we are - and that has huge implications for how we follow Him.

PJ Lewis - Luke 3:15-22 - John the Baptist continues his ministry of preparing people for Jesus as he speaks of what Jesus will bring to our lives that his baptism couldn't do. John just baptized with water, but Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire.

PJ Lewis - Luke 3:1-14 - The ministry of John the baptist shows us that we cannot even begin to talk about following Jesus until we truly repent, to turn away, from myself. Have I truly done that? Do I even see that I need to?

Grant Thiessen - Luke 2:41-52 is the only scripture we have about Jesus between being an infant and when he was 30 starting his ministry. An amazing story of 12 year old Jesus the day his parents left him behind on their trip back home from Passover.

Coleman Diffenderfer - Luke 1:39-56 - In this passage we get to see some pretty great responses to God’s promises from Mary and her cousin Elizabeth (the mother of John). Both of these ladies respond to their Lord and what he promises to do through his son Jesus in worship. How do we respond to God knowing what his son Jesus has done for us? Do we minimize Him or magnify Him?

Eli Macha - Luke 1:26-38 - The announcement of Jesus being born to a virgin demonstrates how nothing is impossible for God. Just like God sought to partner with Mary to do the impossible, He seeks to do the impossible in and through us. And there's no better time to believe this truth than in this Christmas season: the season of impossible.

PJ Lewis - Luke 1:1-25 - The announcement of John and his ministry is a great reminder of the ministry God has for each one of us as well, especially during this Christmas season.
