Psalm 12

What do we do and where do we go when no one around us tells us the truth about life? How can we know who is telling us the truth? Psalm 12 tells us the answer.

PJ Lewis, Luke 8:26-39

Through an incredible interaction between Jesus and a demon-possessed man, we are reminded what Jesus has done for us and what we now can do for him and others.

Coleman Diffenderfer, Luke 8:22-25

The disciples have witnessed powerful examples of faith in the lives of the Centurion and the prostitute. They have heard Jesus preach on faith and have discussed with Jesus what faith looks like when Jesus spoke about the soils. Now it is time for a test in the form of a storm and a simple question, “Where is your faith”?

PJ Lewis, Luke 8:4-21

Jesus has indicated throughout the book of Luke that following Him is based on faith. Now we find out what authentic, and unauthentic, faith looks like. The question is, "What kind of faith do I have?"

Grant Thiessen - Luke 7:36-50

So often we judge a book by its cover, all the while never looking in the mirror to see who we really are. This is a story about a well off confident man who sees no need for Jesus or the forgiveness he offers, and a woman who sees the reality of sin and worships Jesus for forgiving her.

PJ Lewis - Luke 8:1-3

Luke lets us know about some little and unknown people who financially supported the ministry. This brings up the question of how am I to use my finances for the purpose of God. Let's find out!

PJ Lewis - Acts 2

What is the Well really all about? Is there something on which we base our philosophy, ministry and mission? YES. It's rooted in what we discover about the early church.

PJ Lewis - Luke 7:18-35

What do you do when you find out that Jesus is doing things for everyone else except you?! Find out in this passage.

PJ Lewis - Luke 7:1-17 : Easter Sunday

Jesus has the authority and power to give life to us before it is too late. But more than that, He has the authority and power to give life to us even after it's too late!

PJ Lewis - Luke 6:39-49

When you line up dominos, it's all about pushing down the first one that makes all the others fall into place. The same is true in the life of a Christian. It's all about pushing down the first domino that makes everything else work. So, what's the first domino?

Eli Macha - Luke 6:27-38

Jesus has some radical ideas about how we are to respond when we are mistreated. Is it possible that kindness and love could lead people to repentance?

Coleman Diffenderfer - Luke 6:17-26

Time often bring us great clarity and perspective. The worries we had in grade school can seem trivial looking back on them as adults! In Luke 6:17-26 we see Jesus giving his disciples some clarity and perspective with eternity as the measure. The struggles and trials of this life are incredibly momentary in light of the future that is forever. Jesus challenges his disciple to not live for prosperity now, but to live for prosperity in eternity?

PJ Lewis - Luke 6:12-16

Jesus shows us that he chooses the least among us to do ministry. He chooses you!

PJ Lewis - Luke 5:33-6:11

Following Jesus is not trying to add Him to our worldview, our thinking, our values, our lives... Following Jesus only works when we are willing to lay aside our worldview, our thinking, our values, our lives... and start all over with only Him.

PJ Lewis - Luke 5:27-32

Jesus shows us that He will accept anyone as a follower, even us! And then He shows us how to reach out to everyone else who needs Him as well.

Grant Thiessen - Luke 5:12-26

Luke tells the account of two men who Jesus heals. One who lived in isolation and was restored to community. and one who Jesus not only heals but does what has never been done before, forgives him of his sins.

PJ Lewis - Luke 5:1-11

Jesus shows us the kind of people He is looking for to follow Him... and it's not the perfect people. It's the honest and willing people.

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.
