Peter reminds the church that the battle with our culture is not a losing effort. Thirty years earlier Jesus was the one reminding Peter of the same thing. Studying these parallel passages, we can see three final instructions:
Approach the battle with humility. Jesus gave this instruction at the last supper, washing the feet of his disciples (Luke 22:24-26). Peter echoed those inst...
Some sections of Scripture are immediately helpful…you can see the value right away. Other sections take a bit more digging. Let’s dig a little and see what we observe. The first thing I notice about this genealogy is that it is different from the account in Matthew’s gospel. Matthew’s account includes the leaders of Israel (many of which were unfaithful men) - it includes prostitutes - and it ...
Branch Together brings Christians together to read the Bible every day. We know as Christians that we are called to "branch out" and reach the world around us, but first we must come "together" and develop habits that help us grow to be more like the people Jesus is calling us to be. So before we Branch Out, we Branch Together. Some people might call this Daily Devotions, or Quiet Time...whatev...
Lent Day 1 we are looking at Luke 3:1-20

1. Why do you think the path for Jesus’ coming involved repentance?
2. What do you need to repent of today?

27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. 31 A...
After Jesus gives the Beatitudes, He looks over to his audience and asks them, “Why do you worry?” Pastor Hagee tells us that worry is not dependent upon your circumstances, but solely dependent upon you. Don’t waste your time, filling your hours with worrying about things that might never happen. Worry is interest paid on trouble before it ever happens. God has a wonderful and exciting plan fo...
When Jesus and His disciples picked handfuls of grain on the Sabbath, the Pharisees weren’t happy. Today, R.C. Sproul continues his exposition of Luke’s gospel to consider Jesus’ response, which leaves no room for doubt about His divine authority.

Friends, there are a lot of people claiming to be spiritual gurus, teachers, and guides today. But is the person to whom you’ve entrusted your life spiritually blind?

Ever worry that you’re pestering God by asking Him about the same thing over and over? Fret not. If it matters to you, you can take it to God in prayer as often as needed. Watch the video and be encouraged that Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He invites us to do the same.

Is your limited belief system keeping you in the same place? We often ask God to bless us with more while at the same time feeling unable to let go of our unbelief. Like Simon on the brink of giving up in Luke 5, we learn faith and a faulty mindset cannot sit in the same boat. When we lack the courage to push past our limitations, we continue to live on the level of what we believe. If you thou...

We’ll only go so far doing things our way. When pride gets in the path of our progress, we find ourselves getting comfortable amid our dysfunction. Like the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-24, who realized he was living beneath himself, God will release an epiphany that proves we can live another way. There’s greater in store for us, but we won’t get there until we decide to get up! It doesn’t matte...
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of h...

As a tax collector for the Romans, Levi routinely stole from his people in Israel. Yet Jesus singled out this hated man and called him to be a disciple. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul continues his exposition of the gospel of Luke and considers how the grace of the gospel is displayed in the calling of Levi.

Following Jewish custom, Mary and Joseph took the twelve-year-old Jesus to the Feast of the Passover in Jerusalem. When they started home, they assumed Jesus was with their relatives—but Jesus had actually stayed behind in His Father’s house. As Alistair Begg explains, Jesus’ understanding of the Old Testament and of His own messiahship governed His decision. This glimpse into Jesus’ boyhood un...
