That you may have certainty:

Join Kurt, Trey, and Tri and listen in as they continue their conversation about Luke chapter 7.

John the Baptist, imprisoned and facing death, questioned if Jesus was truly the Messiah when circumstances didn't match his expectations. Jesus responded by pointing to His ministry's evidence - healing the blind, enabling the lame to walk, cleansing lepers, restoring hearing, raising the dead, and preaching to the poor. This powerful exchange teaches us that doubts are normal, but we should take them directly to God. Even when God's plans differ from our expectations, we're called to trust His greater wisdom and purpose.

Join Kurt, Trey, and Tri and listen in on their conversation about Luke chapter 7. They discuss everything from miracles to how not to be a pallbearer.

In Luke 7, two powerful stories reveal profound truths about faith and compassion. A Roman centurion demonstrates extraordinary faith by humbly requesting Jesus to heal his servant from afar, showing complete trust in Jesus's authority. Meanwhile, Jesus displays deep compassion by raising a widow's only son from death, acting without being asked. These accounts teach valuable lessons about approaching God with humility while maintaining strong faith, and the importance of showing proactive compassion to others in their suffering.

Jonah and Scott walk us through Jesus's teachings in Luke 6 present a radical approach to unconditional love that goes beyond typical religious teachings. This love encompasses seven key aspects: loving enemies, doing good to those who hate us, blessing those who curse us, praying for those who mistreat us, not retaliating, giving freely, and treating others as we want to be treated. Through God's agape love, demonstrated perfectly in Christ's sacrifice, we're called to extend grace even to those who wrong us. This transformative love operates on principles of sowing and reaping, where mercy, judgment, condemnation, pardon, and giving all return to us in kind.

Jesus demonstrates His transformative power by meeting ordinary people in their everyday lives and calling them to extraordinary purpose. Through the story of Peter's miraculous catch and the calling of Matthew the tax collector, we see how Jesus works through willing hearts despite their doubts or past. When these individuals encountered Jesus, they left everything to follow Him, showing that true discipleship often requires radical surrender. This powerful narrative reminds us that Jesus continues to call people from all walks of life, transforming them for His divine mission.

Luke 4: Run to the Father - Tri Nason

Life's wilderness seasons - periods of isolation, testing, and spiritual drought - serve multiple divine purposes. These experiences reveal character, increase dependence on God, deepen spiritual relationships, and prepare individuals for future ministry. Like Jesus's 40-day fast, wilderness periods aren't always consequences of mistakes but can be Spirit-led opportunities for growth. Through maintaining Scripture focus, continuing ministry, and regularly spending time with God, these challenging seasons become transformative experiences that strengthen faith and purpose.

Luke 3 | Buster Nason

In this conversation, Buster explores the themes of repentance, baptism, and the message of John the Baptist as presented in Luke chapter 3. He emphasizes the importance of understanding repentance not just as a change of direction but as a heartfelt action that acknowledges sin and seeks God's forgiveness. The discussion also highlights God's grace, the significance of baptism as a symbol of new life, and the call for Christians to witness and share their faith with others.

Luke 2 reveals God's unwavering faithfulness through His divine plan of redemption. Through covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, God progressively unveiled His master plan, culminating in Jesus Christ. The story of Simeon demonstrates how to live with complete trust in God's promises, showing that true faith requires full surrender rather than partial devotion. This narrative challenges us to examine our own lives and align every aspect with God's purposes.

Luke's Gospel begins with the miraculous announcements of two births that would change history. After 400 years of divine silence, God chose ordinary people like Zechariah, Elizabeth, and Mary to fulfill extraordinary purposes. Through the birth of John the Baptist, God fulfilled ancient prophecies and demonstrated His perfect timing. John's life purpose, even before birth, was to point others to Jesus, setting an example of humility and faithful service that we can follow today.
