Stewardship in the Meantime (Luke 19:11-27) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode we look to Luke 19:11-27 where Jesus shares His final parable before entering Jerusalem, the parable of the Ten Minas. From this passage we explored stewardship, accountability, and how what we believe about Jesus shapes the way we live—because Christianity isn’t something we simply consume, but something we are called to participate in. Our conversation reminds us that grace doesn’t make Jesus’ kingship optional.
Pursuing the Pursuer (Luke 19:1-10) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we move into Luke 19:1-10. Within these verses, Jesus comes into Jericho and encounters Zacchaeus. From this passage we talked about the exciting reality that God is pursuing us long before we may even be looking for Him. Even further, an authentic encounter with Jesus transforms our hearts, impacting the way we live our lives.
Are We Seeing Clearly? (Luke 18:31-43) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we explore Luke 18:31-43. In this passage, Jesus predicts His death for a third time, and then encounters a blind man in Jericho. Through the passage we are challenged to consider whether we are truly seeing Jesus for who He is, or simply seeing Him through the lens of our own expectations. As we learn from both the disciples and the blind man, we are reminded that seeing Jesus clearly shapes the way we trust Him, follow Him, and point others toward what He is doing in our lives.
Possess(ions)(ed) (Luke 18:18-30) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode we look at Luke 18:18-30 where we read about the encounter between a ruler and Jesus. Together we talk about the importance of keeping God at the center of our lives.
No Resume Needed (Luke 18:9-17) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode we continue on with Luke 18:9-17. In this passage, Jesus tells us another story, this one about a Pharisee and a tax collector, followed by a look at an interaction involving Jesus, His disciples, and children. From this passage we talk about the importance of coming to Jesus dependent and empty, like little children, that we may be filled with His Spirit and used for His.
