Evangelism and the Mercy of God

Luke 8:34-39 Turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 8. We have been working our way, over the past couple of weeks, through this amazing account of deliverance, as Jesus rescues a man from a severe, very severe case of demonic possession. The whole story is there in Luke 8:26-39. I’m gonna read the first part for you, the parts that we’ve covered, provide a little bit of review. If you’re there in Luke 8, follow me as I read…

A Vivid Picture of Spiritual Oppression

Luke 8:26-29 We’re returning to our study of Luke’s Gospel. So I ask you to open your Bibles to Luke Chapter 8, Luke 8. And we are entering into a story of really profound and far reaching implications as Jesus heals what has to be the severest example of demonic possession found in all of Scripture, and I’d say probably the only exception would be the Antichrist himself, who is going to be inhabited by Satan. That’s very profound, severe…

On Heavenly Mindedness

Colossians 3:1-4  Turn in your bibles to Colossians chapter 3, Colossians 3. I’d like to take you, you to a text that’s really been on my heart lately. One that I have found particularly helpful throughout my Christian life. And it’s a message that I think we all need to hear this morning. It’s found in Colossians 3:1-4.

We are moving through this great chapter verse by verse and a following the organization and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who wrote this down through Luke. And a, following his, just his organization of even how the chapter lays out, we’re coming into a section of scripture here, Luke 8:19-21, a, these verses are actually out of chronological, historical chronological order. Which is not Luke’s typical style and…

Take Care How You Hear

Luke 8:16-18 What is Jesus illustrating with the lamp lighting analogy? What are the hidden things that are made manifest? What are the secret things that will be made known and come to light? Are Jesus’ disciples to take that as a word of caution? That, that is why we are to take care how we hear?  That is to say, is that the fact that all of our dirty laundry will one day be hung out to dry? So…

How to Cultivate Good Soil

Luke 8:15 Grab your Bibles, turn to the 8th chapter of Luke. As we have been doing in this study of the parable of the soils, let’s read the parable again, along with its explanation. You’ll find that located there in Luke Chapter 8, verses 4-15. “And when a great crowd was gathering, and people from town after town came to him,” that is, Jesus, “he said in a parable, ‘A sower went out to sow his seed. And as…
