1) “Don’t rejoice that spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven” (Lk.10:20); 2) Don’t glory in what gifts God gives you, glory in the gift of salvation; 3) Don’t glory in what you can do, glory in whose you are.

In Jesus’ parables there is an amazing focus on how we treat others; or in the sense of omissions, how we fail to treat others. In other words, many of Jesus’ parables are about . . . “nothing!” THE GOOD SAMARITAN (Lk.10:25-37) – What did the priest and the Levite do that was so wrong? […]

Few want to be saved like the Rich Young Ruler before the cross (Mark 10:17-22); Many want to be saved like the thief on the cross (Luke 23:40-43); All can be saved by believing and being baptized like Jesus said after the cross (Mark 16:16).

The book of Acts is about what Jesus began to do and teach in His physical that He continued and continues to do and teach in His spiritual body, the church. The message is the kingdom. Seeing that Luke is the author of both Luke and Acts, let’s see how Jesus continued to do and […]

Explanation – “God” as in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, work together in harmony although each possesses any and all qualities of “Godhead.” This is seen throughout the gospels, most elegantly in the virgin birth (Lk 1). We are called to imitate this fellowship as seen in Philippians 2 where Jesus did not and […]
